1. HOW DID YOU USE TECHNOLOGIES
IN THE CONSTRUCTION, RESEARCH
AND PLANNING AND EVALUATION
STAGES?
By Kessia Raghoonauth

2. Different Technologies
There are different form of technologies which I used throughout the whole
coursework. They vary from filming equipment to online internet website.
I will talk about the different form of media I used through the different steps, which
they include research and planning, construction and evaluation.
The different technologies which I will talk about will also include forms of new
technology.

3. This is justa summary throughimaged in thedifferent form of technologies
whichI usedthroughoutmywhole coursework.

4. Research
& Planning
Through my research I mostly used the
internet to find information. For example in the
conventions of a drama, the institutional
research and narrative theories. This included
websites like Wikipedia.
I also looked at websites such as IMDB to look
at deconstruction of trailer as they provide
detail information about films which I relevant
to my planning.
I also had some work saved on my phone and
so I downloaded the WordPress App so that it
be constantly used on the go.
Slideshare and Google Docs, was a way in
which I presented my work other than just
putting on the blog. I also used Vimeo to
upload my pitch in format of a video and also
used iMovie to edit the pitch to look
appropriate.

5. Research
& Planning
I also use Photoshop throughout the
research and planning as I needed to
create layouts for magazine and posters. I
also used Photoshop to create my
moodboard.
I also used Wordpress to publish my work
on there also other blogging websites such
as Blogger.
I also needed to conduct research on my
target audience, so therefore I set out
surveys to them and to this I used
Survemonkey, which collected all the
information and allowed me analysed
them later.
Also before the production of the trailer I
published the images online on
Photobucket so that they could be stored
and view by people.

6. Construction
For my construction of my part of the trailer I
used Adobe Premier, while I used Adobe
Photoshop for the creation of the poster and film
magazines.
To photograph and film all of this I used my
Canon 600D camera which all the footage would
be stored on my SD card which would be used on
the Apple Macs. They were very efficient and
supported all the work that I would be doing as
it. The use of my camera in comparison to phone
camera was better quality and allowed for the
trailer to be at 720p, which would be at HD
quality.
Throughout my construction I would use Google
Drive and Dropbox as it allowed me to store
videos and images, which would normally take a
large amount of space. This is so I could access it
at home and on other computers which did not
have all of the data on it

7. Construction
The music of the trailer was found on
Soundhound, from searching, however this
meant that we needed to ask permission for the
song usage. FreeSFX was also used to find
sounds/music to be used in the trailer and this
allowed a large library of uncopyrighted
sound/music.
Once the product was finished, the drafts were
uploaded to Vimeo, however Vimeo had some
drawbacks as it only allowed me to upload a
certain amount of video and not unlimited. This
thereby resulted to start using YouTube, which
meant a mass amount of people were allowed to
view the trailer in comparison to Vimeo as they
don’t get as many people.
After all of the products were released, the trailer
was promoted via Facebook and also on
Instagram by posting the pictures of the Poster
on there, so it will influence people to watch the
trailer.

8. Evaluation
For evaluation I again used YouTube to upload my
first part of my trailer. The reason for this was
because my evaluation was in a format of a
video. Also to create this I used iMovies, as this
was lot more simplified compared to Adobe
Premier. The whole video was also recoded on
the Mac computer
I also used Prezi to publish another part of my
evaluation as it offers a diverse option compared
to Slideshare on how to publicise presentations.
Another form of evaluation was publicised on
Photobucket so it can be seen as a slideshow as it
provides a large format of the presentation to be
seen.
And this evaluation is posted on Slideshare as it
allows the presentation to be viewed on
comfortable way.
Also my presentation were created on Microsoft
PowerPoint. An of course all of my evaluation is
published on Wordpress on my blog.

9. Conclusion
Forms of technology and new media was really important throughout the whole
process of my coursework and so it made a huge impact on presentation of me
coursework.
Also it impacted my construction, otherwise if I did not have any of the forms of
technologies, my product would not of probable been made in the same standards as
it currently at. Technology would of also effected my research and planning otherwise
I would of not as been as prepared for the whole creation of my product.
Overall the technology improved the quality of my coursework.
