This document provides guidance on evaluating one's use of technology throughout a coursework project. It prompts the student to identify different technologies used in the research, planning, production, and evaluation stages. For each technology, the student should explain what it allowed them to do and the benefits. Examples of technologies include using social media for audience research, creating an animatic for planning, and using video editing software for production and evaluation. The document advises using specific examples and media from the student's own work to support the points made.
3. QUESTION 4
How did you use media technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation stages?
The question is asking you to consider your of technology in all
stages of the coursework, not just the production stage.
4. APPROACHING THE
QUESTION
Identify different technologies you have used in the different
stages of the coursework (research, planning, production,
evaluation).
What have these technologies allowed you to do? How have
they benefited you?
5. APPROACHING THE
QUESTION
Examples of Technologies
Research – use of social media to complete audience
research
Planning – creating an animatic
Production – editing software
Evaluation – use of video to evaluate production work.
6. APPROACHING THE
QUESTION
Identify technologies used – explain what the technology
allowed you to do – consider benefits and any problems.
Make sure you used specific examples from your work to
support the points you make. Consider using print screens
to show elements of production work, or video clips of
unedited/edited footage, and links to examples of uses of
technology.
You may want to use Prezi or powerpoint to create an
overview of your use of technology, and then other more
relevant methods for specific types of media – e.g. video to
show how you edited your product.
