In my research, planning, construction and evaluation phases I have made use of multiple media technologies. I used SurveyMonkey to create an online survey to gather demographic information. I used Prezi instead of PowerPoint to present my information on my blog due to its more modern layout. I frequently used YouTube to watch existing trailers and analyze them. I took photos and filmed my trailer with a Canon 700D HD camera. I edited images in Adobe Photoshop CS6 and edited my trailer in Serif Movie plus 6.

1. EVALUATION QUESTION 4
HOW DID YOU USE MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN
THE CONSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH,
PLANNING AND EVALUATION STAGES?

2. . In my research, planning, construction and evaluation phases I have made use of
multiple media technologies to complete this project. Firstly, we used surveymonkey to
create an online survey to find out our demographic. Surveymokey is a free site which
is why it was a good option. It also enabled me to post the survey on multiple social
media sites such as Facebook and twitter, offering a multiplatform approach.
Surveymonkey also collects all your data and converts it to graphs and tables saving
me time when trying to find any trends in the data.
To present my slasher film and horror influence presentations I used Prezi, instead of
PowerPoint due to its more modern and professional looking layout, which made me
choose it to present some of my information on my blog. Prezi’s are also compatible
with WIX- the website I am using to make my blog.
For my research sections I used YouTube frequently to watch existing trailers and
analyse them. I also used google images to find existing posters and magazines to
analyse and add to my research section. If these options were not present I would be
forced to buy hard copies of magazines and posters, which would be more expensive
and time consuming.
I took photos and filmed my trailer with the cannon 700d which was easy to use and
small. It was also a HD camera giving us very high quality, professional looking videos
The images were then photo shopped on the Adobe Photoshop CS6 and I edited the
trailer on Serif Movie plus 6.

3. I used the magneto lasso
tool to cut around the
image to enable me to
place it on any
background. After cutting
the photo out, I wanted to
place it on top of a black
background so I selected
a fill colour and made it
black

4. I took a picture of a flash off of
google and applied to this
picture and moved the flash
onto the knife to accentuate its
sharpness
I then used a text box to
choose a font and write an X in
red (you choose through
colour selection)

5. I then used the text
boxes to add my text
and then imported the
Facebook and twitter
icons to offer more of
a multiplatform
approach

6. Lastly I added
my age rating
(15) which I
imported from
google and also
included my
production
company
(slaughterhouse
productions)

7. Similarly to the to the
poster, I trimmed this
image with the lasso tool
and then put in on a black
background. On this
occasion I did add the
masthead ‘PARACINEMA’
which is the magazine
distributing my front cover
(as I am part of an
independently produced
film that would need a
magazine to distribute my
front cover)

8. I then added my text
using the text button
and then imported a
picture of a barcode
to place on the
bottom left hand
side of the page
