Question 4 A level evaluation

1. Question4 How didyou use mediatechnologiesinthe constructionandresearch,planningand
evaluationstages?
Throughoutthe making of my productsI usedseveral technologiesincludingthe following:
 Weebly –to buildwebsite
 Photogalleries- seeninplanningsector
 VideoScribe- evaluationquestion2
 Prezi- evaluationquestion1
 Mobile phone- usedforfilming/photography
 PC’s– usedtouploadand create all content
 Digital cameras – photographyand
 Soundcam – usedto recordsoundcontent
 Premiere Elements–editingsoftware
 YouTube – trailerupload
 MicrosoftPowerPoint – evaluationquestion3
 MicrosoftWord- filessuchascontact sheets,riskassessmentsetc.
 Da Font - Curiousmindspostertitle

2. The benefits to using these different platforms of technology meant that I was able to produce a
movingimage piece, editmyphotosimperfections, create a customized layout and get everything
done a lot quicker and accessible which is also more reliable as opposed to hand written.
The difficultieshave mostlybeenthatitwasmyfirsttime usingor I had limitedexperience on these
technologiessuchaspremiere elements and using digital cameras. Sometimes the internet can be
unreliabletooandaccesscan be slowor restrictingonpublicdevicessuchasthe schools computers.
Overall I think that the work I produced this year compared to my As work is significantly better
quality, however I would still consider myself a beginner with most of the technology that I came
across.
I felt that in the research stage I focused more on the content compared to the use of technology
whenI started this topic; however my confidence grew in the production stage where you can see
the use of Weebly’s own tools and formats such as their slides/galleries. It is very clear in my
evaluationhowvariedmy usesof apps were when presenting my questions, which were very easy
to produce.
