1. QUESTION 6
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT
ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM
THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS
PRODUCT?
2. TECHNOLOGIES USED
While producing my music magazine I
found myself using several different
technologies for my research, planning
and evaluation into what would be most
effective for my target group. This
consisted of…
• WhatsApp
• YouTube
• Microsoft PowerPoint
• Photoshop
• Lighting equipment
• Canon 600D camera
• IPhone 7 camera
3. INTERNET
I used the internet for a
substantial amount of my
production, I especially used it
for the research parts of the
production for example looking
at music magazines that
already exist in order to see
what I need to include in my
magazine.
I also used the internet to
upload all my work onto my
blog to show my progress
throughout the production.
Slide share, slide boom and
Prezi I found the best for
uploading my PowerPoints.
I made my final outcome a lot
more realistic in the way that it
could be compared next to
similar magazines.
I finally
4. MICROSOFT POWERPOINT
When completing my production I found
that I started to need PowerPoint in order
to present my work. I chose PowerPoint
as I have used it before so id dint need
help from tutorials.
I found this the best way for my
evaluation as it was clear and laid out
nicely.
I found that the presentation was
presented to a high quality as I knew my
way around the programme.
5. LIGHTING
In my production I used different shades
of lighting to achieve a more effective
and interesting image I took different
images at different angles this changed
the amount of lighting that was on the
image.
I found that by using tutorials helped me
to set up each piece of equipment. At the
start of the production I felt that natural
lighting would be better to create the
effects that I wanted but as I worked
more on the production I found that it
was actually better to use artificial
lighting as I wanted a shadow created on
some of my images.
Natural lighting
No shadow from
lighting
Shadows
created by
artificial light
6. PHOTOSHOP
Before this production I has not ever used Photoshop, I found this a challenge due to not
knowing what each tool done.
I watched many tutorials in order to achieve a high quality product.
I learnt how to effectively make the image pop and be more eye catching for my audience this
enabled me to work on making the best product that I could.
Below is an image that I edited before and after to make it more eye catching…
7. IN CONCLUSION
I found that all in all technology has been a huge part of my production, I have used
technology in every step of my project and it has helped me massively.
This is clearly shown in the presentation as without using technology my production
wouldn’t be as professional or similar to other magazines.
However, not only did technology help me with my production but I have leant a few things
that will help me in the future such as Photoshop, I was able to present my skills through
this project and it helped my with a better end result and I strongly believe that this
wouldn’t be possible without technology.
