1. How did you use mediatechnologiesinthe construction and research planningand evaluation
stages?
Whencreatingmy piece there wasawide range of mediaplatformsusedtocreate the production
The internethasbeena verygoodresource forinformationasithas allowedme to understand more
aboutwhat needstogo intothe productionforit to be successful.Ithasalsotoldme exactly whati
can and cannot use whenbrainstormingideasonwhatstoryline togoonin orderto avoidplagiarism
fromotherpeople’s ideas.
By usingthe internettoconductresearchon websitesithasbeenveryeffective asithasbeena lot
quickerthanthe alternative thenresearchingintoabookthat couldtake twice the amountof time
and alsonot givenme the amountof informationandanswersontopicsthatthe internetcan
provide
YouTube isthe biggestworldwidevideosharing websitesowhenconducting researchitmade the
mostsense to use thiswhenlookingintomychosengenresof fantasy anddrama.Aswell as
YouTube providingmore in-depthresearchinformationintogenresformyproductionithasgiven
me a lookintoexactlyuploadmyownvideostothe site ina more interestingformatformy
audience insteadof justonpaper,anexample of thisisuploadingmyfocusgroupaudience feedback
and teasertrailerproduction.

2. In additiontousingwebsiteslikeYouTube otherwaysof showingworkandtaskonmy blogwere
neededsuchassiteslike http://www.slideshare.net/and Prezi,thesewere usednearlyasmuchas
YouTube.
Slide share alot like YouTube allowsthe usertouploadvideostothe internet,howeverinsteadof a
videoformatitisdone in a PowerPointpresentation.Thissite wasmainlyusedtopresent
information thatcouldn’tbe done inavideoformat.
The applicationhasbeenveryuseful aswheni uploadthisinformationontomyblogitshowsthe
informationinthe same PowerPointformatandpresentbold writingthatcanbe seenbythe
majorityof people.The applicationisalso easily accessible because if itsnotworkingdirectlyonthe
blogby copyingthe linkthe publicisable tosee iton the website.

3. Prezi hasalsobeenone of the mainsourcespresentingmywork,forexamplePrezi isasite that
allowsthatallowsthe usertocreate theirownlayoutandformatof how theywanttheirpage to
looklike whetherornot thatbe withtext boxes orpictures.
The site alsohas a feature of allowingthe usertouse the zoomin and outtool whichcan be very
useful asa viewerbecause itallowsthemtosee the whole page withouthavingtoreadeverylast
detail.Italsomakesthe page seemmore interactive and interestingtolookat.

4. In orderto actuallyuploada videoto YouTube throughthe application softwareof Adobe Premiere
a videoisputthrough the YouTube converterandthenthe linkis embedded tomyblog.This
displayedthe informationwritten orvideoinaan pleasingwayformyaudience because YouTube
has goodqualityvideoformatsandpicture qualitygothroughtheirsystems.Howeveri couldhave
usedthe website Scribd todothisas an alternative buti believedthat YouTube providedwhatwas
neededwhichwasqualityvideosformyaudience.
Software used
The software thatwas usedwithinthe productionconsistedof Adobe Premier, AdobeEffectsand
alsoAdobe Photoshop.
Adobe Premierhasbeenthe mostimportantandmostusedsoftware asit has beenthe application
that has createdthe actual teasertrailer withinthe production. Adobe effectswere usedtocreate
the titlesand writingseenwithinthe trailer.

5. Premierhasbeenallowedme tocreate the trailerthathas come outoverall successful.Anexample
of thisiswheni have usedvarioustoolstocreate thisforinstance the title tool hasallowedme to
add information intothe audience andalsogoback and editchangingthingsthatdone needtobe in
the sequence.Premierhasalsohelped me tochange the audioby increasingthe volume oreven
gettingridof itall togetherfor certainparts of the trailer.
Anotherprogramme thatwasusedis adobe effectsitwasonlyusedbrieflyinordertocreate some
of the letteringandfontsthatwere neededforthe productionsuchasthe title of the trailer.
Out of all the software usedpremierwasthe hardestof themall,mainlybecause whenotherpeople
startedto make theirtrailersitinterfered withthe speedqualityslowingthe wholeproduction
down,howeveroverall the softwareproducedagoodqualitypiece.

6. In conclusioni believe thatbyusingmedia technology throughoutthe wholeproductionitmade the
whole thingcome togethermore thanitwouldwithoutitasit speedupthe processof havingto
make it all.Onthe other handif there’s anythingthati believethati couldimprove oni wouldspend
more time on adobe Photoshop asi believethatinaddingslightlymore detail itcouldhave
improvedthe final product
