1. How did you use new media
technologies in the
construction and research,
planning and evaluation
stages?
Ancillary Task

2. We used new technology a lot to make our
ancillary. Not only did we use the internet,
especially google to research, similarly to our
music video, but we also used various
programmes. We used digital SLR camera’s to
capture the pictures in the studio, and edited
them in Photoshop and PhotoImpression. The
editing was vital to give the poster and album
cover a unique look. We also used the website
dafonts.com to get the writing for our album and
poster. This is another benefit of web 2.0, as we
entered our title and various fonts were made for
it.

3. We have used blogspot to create this blog, this is
probably the main new technology used by us.
Blogspot has given us a way of presenting our
work in a professional, simple and neat way. It is
so simple to upload work and is instantly on the
web for everyone to see. I have also used
powerpoints to present some work, this is also a
simple programme and works really well with
blogspot via slideshare. I also have used
Windows Movie Maker during my pre
production, this was to create a video of my
parents interview. I used this so my blog didn’t
just contain paragraphs and powerpoints.
