space.

• Word
• YouTube
• canon 550d – 50mm lens/kit lens

3. Microsoft PowerPoint
• This allowed us to effectively showcase our
research and planning. It made it easier to
convey how research and planning has helped
us, and convey ideas to use in the product.
This example shows how PowerPoint allows us to effectively portray planning needed to
make our products. Here we can consider conventions with ease.
4. Prezi
• Prezi is another program used for showcasing
ideas. This was useful when showing all ideas
when responding to the brief.
Prezi showcases ideas in an effective, and cohesive way, allowing all ideas to be
in one place, showing them how they link together more effectively. This is why
it was convenient to use the software for the response for brief.
5. Photoshop CS4
• Photoshop was useful for creating an effective
filming space. It allowed us to create a large
composition so we could display all of our
locations on one file, making it easier to use
during production.
6. Wordpress
• Wordpress was used to
display the planning,
research and evaluation
we have done in order to
make our products. It
allowed YouTube videos,
PowerPoint and Prezi to be
embedded into posts
enabling us to effectively
convey these pre and
post-production stages.
7. Microsoft Word
• Microsoft word was
used for the
creation of scripts
and additional
notes for videos. It
was convenient,
since it allowed for
quick word
processing that
could be printed.
8. YouTube
• YouTube was used to upload videos, so they
could be embedded into Wordpress. The
annotations tool on the ‘edit video’ option
within YouTube was also used add annotations
to a video.
9. Canon 550D
• The canon 550d with the 18-
55mm and 50mm lens were
used to effectively convey
the behind the scenes for
production, and others for
the planning and evaluation
stages. It was convenient,
since it enabled information
to be displayed in a much
more creative, and
interesting way.
10. Sony Vegas
• Sony Vegas was also used
during the planning and
evaluation stages to edit
footage. It is convenient
for basic editing uses, and
helped showcase the
planning and evaluation
stages more effectively.
11. After Effects
• After effects was
used to create
advanced effects for
some of the videos
made during the
planning, research
and evaluation
stages. An example is
the gun shots in the
target audience
video.
12. Camtasia Recorder
• This software was used for recording a
computer screen. It allowed me to showcase
editing, during the planning and evaluation
stages, which was useful since it more
effectively shows how we created and used
effects in different videos.
