A brief analysis of all the technologies I have used in the blog portion of my media coursework this year.

1. Technologies in
my Coursework

2. Youtube
In addition, I have used Youtube as a presentation platform by
uploading videos of myself discussing my outcomes, music
videos and theorists. This approach has been a useful and
dynamic way of explaining ideas and creating more dynamic and
involving pieces of work.
Youtube has been helpful during my research
as it has allowed me to research music videos
by Elle Mary and the Bad Men and by artists
of similar genres. Because of Youtube, I have
been able to directly imbed videos into my
coursework, as well as viewing the music
videos of other groups and uploading my own
music video, thus allowing for peer feedback.

3. Blogger
Blogger has been the platform for all of my A Level Media
Studies coursework; the site allows a user such as myself to
create and post any content whilst also allowing one to imbed
links to other sites and pieces that I have made.
The site has prevented me from needing to organise paper
coursework, as all of my documents are digital and filed under
different labels, making my work easy to access and more
eco-friendly.
I have been able to save draft posts and continue them entirely
online, as well as receive peer and tutor feedback via the
comments section.

4. Soundcloud
Soundcloud has been very useful, as it was on this site that I first
listened to Elle Mary and the Bad Men. After getting the
band’s permission to make the video, I listened through the
music and selected Rose as the strongest track.
However, the site has also been very useful in allowing me to
record and upload audio presentations where I verbally
discuss different ideas that I have considered in my
productions.
Presentations have included
band studies and concepts
of narrative structure

5. Emaze & Slideshare
Emaze is a more dynamic
and eye-catching way to
present information. It
provides interesting transitions and colourful display templates
which help to make my posts more memorable and unique.
Slideshare is a more basic way of uploading power point
presentations, but it has allowed me to quickly and easily
share PowerPoint documents online. Both Emaze and
Slideshare are embeddable to blogger allowing feedback, as
well as allowing comments
from external viewers.
