How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Research and Planning Research: To research the codes and conventions of film magazines, trailers and posters we had to use multiply technology, the main device was the internet on the PC. The internet allowed us to view real media products- often used trailer addict and YouTube to watch trailers. The system meant that we could hear and see them in detail. When focusing on sound we used to video player. The video player was as effective however the internet meant we could explore the web to find products fitted to our chosen genre. Google is another source of our research, it meant we could find how many websites were on offer, and it meant is was less time consuming. Blogs: Through out our research and planning we needed to present it somehow, we have used the blogs, through the internet. Without the internet it would not be possible to represent our coursework so effectively. Photocopier : we used the photocopier so that we could scan our initial ideas onto the computers, eventually uploading them onto our blogs. This allowed us to express our ideas clearly to show our planning process.

Filming Procedures ,[object Object],[object Object],Sound: We used a boom microphone, to emphasis the speech, we learnt from last year that the camcorder did not always pick up every piece of speech intended. We tried the boom microphone before we began filming to make sure it worked, and taught us how to use it. While filming, we used it in every scene what involved speech. Once we uploaded the shots we found that it improved the sound.

Construction of Poster ,[object Object],[object Object],On the side bar, it gave us the most useful tools to use, we used the colour fill, this helped when it came to the text, it allowed us to try different colours in order to get the more eerie colour scheme. The blur tool, gave us the fade out effect, this was our initial idea however we were having difficulties finding a tool appropriate.

Construction of Film Magazine ,[object Object],[object Object],The side bar gave us some useful tools which we could use on our magazine cover. We tried the lasso tool, this meant we could cut around the girl, which allowed us to put her on top of the text, however when we discussed it together, we decided we preferred her behind the text. This tool took a while to use however, once we got the hang of it, we had our own technique of using it. We also used it on the pictures in the corner, we wanted to border them, and in order to do so we had to lasso them first, then click on border from the ‘select’ option. This was a lot more difficult because the selection needed to be perfect in order for the border to be straight. We also used the ‘Spot healing tool’ this meant that we could get rid of the blemishes of our model, making her face to look like perfection. This was a simple tool to use, and it is effective to captivate our male target audience. The red eye tool, although it was only a small adjustment, it meant that she looked natural with brown eyes instead of red.

Evaluation ,[object Object],[object Object],Question three: To present this question I have used a podcast, this allowed me the write out little notes, which could prompt me on the correct pathway. I think using the podcast has given the examiner a clear view of my thought process when it came to feedback. It was simple to use, I had to plug a microphone at the back of the computer, and the blog allowed me to talk straight onto it. I only made one mistake, so I had to restart one podcast. Apart from this, I had no other problems. Question four: PowerPoint is a quick and easy method to use, It has given me a chance to present my information, and because there was a lot to be evaluated, although it is not as visually creative, I thought this was the best way to present the fourth question.
