As Prezi was new software, it took some time for the author to become proficient in it. However, they were eventually able to create a good presentation displaying the codes and conventions of a magazine cover. The author felt Photoshop was a strength as they were familiar with it from GCSE studies, though some tools like cropping were difficult. Quark Xpress was also new, making it challenging at first, but skills improved after training. The author believes their magazine prototype could have been better by including additional codes like buzzwords, though it did represent some conventions through color scheme and text hierarchy.
Question 6/7
The document discusses the various software programs used during the production of a film project. Photoshop was used to create promotional posters but had limitations when importing online images. Final Cut Pro X was used to edit the film together in a professional manner, though it occasionally crashed. Prezi was good for creating presentations but uploading to blogs had issues. Blogger, YouTube, SlideShare and Weebly were used to organize and share content online, though some sites went down occasionally. GarageBand was used to create copyright-free music. Microsoft Word and PowerPoint worked for documentation but lacked creativity. Padlet created mind maps but was difficult to use. SurveyMonkey gathered audience feedback but was limited to 10 questions for free use
Evaluation question 6
Through constructing their product, the students learned several important skills regarding camerawork, filming, and editing. They learned that keeping shots steady using a tripod and stabilizing mounted cameras are important for quality. Proper planning of shots is also crucial to the final product.

Evauation 7
For their preliminary task, the student's group overcomplicated the concept and tried more difficult shots that ended up looking poor quality. They struggled with shots like the over the shoulder shot and had too much empty space. However, they learned better cinematography techniques from practicing. For the opening sequence, the student spent more time editing and using effects. They found better ambient music instead of using Final Cut's default options. Overall, the opening sequence demonstrated progression in cinematography, editing, sound design and time management from lessons learned in the preliminary task.
Media- Technology
The document discusses the technologies used in creating a film production. A camera was used to film footage, but it had limited settings which made lighting adjustments difficult. A tripod helped produce steady shots. Final Cut Pro was used for editing, though it took some time to learn. Sound equipment precisely recorded audio, while YouTube provided planning resources. Photoshop and lighting tools were also utilized. Overall the document reflects on learning how to operate various technologies through the filmmaking process.
Evaluation Question 6
Through constructing this product, I have learned how to use various technologies including video editing software like Final Cut Express, audio software like Garageband, blogging platforms like Blogger, and content hosting sites like YouTube. I have gained skills in editing video clips, adding titles and effects, incorporating soundtracks, and publishing my work online. Some of the technologies like Final Cut Express and Garageband took time to learn but allowed me to create a professional-looking final piece.
Question 6 Media Evaluation
The document discusses various technologies used in the process of creating a film project. Blogger was used to collaboratively share research and ideas. Celtx software allowed the writer to format screenplays professionally. A Sony HD 1000 camera and tripod were used to film footage, although the tripod was limiting at times. Final Cut Express was used to edit the film, adding transitions and sound, and allowing revisions. Sound effects were found online as Garage Band proved difficult. Google Forms created an accessible audience questionnaire. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube helped share and get feedback on the completed film.
Evaluation question 4
The document discusses the various media technologies used during the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages of a media coursework project. Technologies used included Blogger, YouTube, cameras, iMovie, Photoshop, Prezi, and external hard drives for backing up files. Blogger was used to create a blog to log progress, YouTube was heavily used for research, and cameras, iMovie and Photoshop were utilized for filming, editing and creating ancillary materials for a music video project. Skills such as embedding YouTube videos, editing shots to music, and manipulating layered images in Photoshop were developed through this project.
Presentation1
Sherry Fletcher created various multimedia projects including editing photos on Shutterfly, making a podcast on Garageband and Podbean, making a 30-second video on Animoto, editing home videos on iMovie, and uploading the video to YouTube. She faced some initial challenges with the tools but was ultimately successful. The projects gave her experience with multimedia skills and online platforms that she plans to apply in her classroom.
Preliminary task evaluation
The document discusses the filmmaking group's experience with their pre-production, filming, and editing of a preliminary film task. It notes that their idea development went well, but their pace of work was slow. They used an iPad to film, which provided good quality but required steady hands. Editing in iVideo went smoothly. Lessons learned include needing to check for unwanted objects in shots and improving time management. The preliminary task met the criteria of demonstrating techniques like match cuts and shot/reverse shot. The process helped the group learn basic camera techniques and terms.

The document discusses the use of new media technologies at different stages of a project.
In the early stages, the internet was used to set up a blog on Blogger.com and search for bands on Myspace.com and Unsigned.com.
When filming, an HD camcorder captured footage and Apple iMac computers were used for editing in Final Cut Express, though the software took time to learn. The finished video was uploaded to YouTube for feedback.
Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Paint were used to create a digital packaging design, while Picnik.com allowed for online photo editing.
SlideShare.com created a survey for feedback and allowed results to be shared on a blog

- 2. Research We needed to create an anamatic remake; therefore we used Final Cut. It was slightly different using pictures instead of clips in Final Cut to create the remake of our music video and because we hadn’t used Final Cut for a while – we had to familiarize ourselves again. For our research we used Yahoo Answers a lot, this is where you post questions and other people can reply. The difficulty that I had to overcome was that my question time would run out before anyone had answered, as you are only given a certain number of days until your question is erased.
- 3. Planning Fortunately for us, we didn’t have that many difficulties in planning. There were a few in Google & Safari in where we had to research specific things and it was difficult to find. There were also small difficulties in the blog when the internet went down and we lost work. This didn’t affect us that much because the blog auto saves. However it still cost time when we had deadlines to reach.
- 4. Construction GarageBand was a programme that was very new to us, therefore we had to brush up our knowledge by asking technicians, other classmates and researching it on the internet. We used a Samsung camera to take pictures and upload to the blog, unfortunately the cable was misplaced when we needed to upload the photos. This lead to a delay but fortunately the problem was fixed and everything was fine. Because we wanted our project to be the best, we added a lot more effect to it this year on Final Cut. This meant we have to research how to do it. This proved to take time and patience but it looks great. We used more layers than normal in our music video and used ChromaKey and Colour correction to make it look effective.
