The student used various media technologies during the construction, research, planning, and evaluation stages of their project: - Blogger and Google Drive were used in the planning stage to share and collaborate on work from any device. - Prezi, Slideshare, and Tagul were used to create presentations and brainstorming diagrams because they allow for interactive and customizable designs. - Professional cameras like the Sony HXR-MC 2000 and Cannon DSLR were used for filming and photography for their high quality output. - Editing software like Premier Pro, Audacity, and Photoshop were used for video editing, audio recording, and photo editing to produce professional quality final products.

1. Evaluation 4
How did you use media technologies in the
construction and research, planning and evaluation
stages?

2. Research and Planning
Blogger – at the beginning of the year we made
a blogger account to keep up to date with our
work and so we could easily upload our work.
The benefit of this is that we can access blogger
from any internet enabled device.
Google Drive – We used google drive as a quick
way to share work that we produced as a group.
The benefits of this was that we could access all
the documents for any device.

3. Tagul
I used slideshare as a way of
embedding PowerPoints onto my
blog. The benefits to this is that
there is a lot of storage and it is free.
Prezi
Prezi is a good way to make
presentations because it is simple to
use and also more interesting to
watch because it is more interactive.
The benefits are that it is free and it
is easy to understand.
Slideshare
Tagul is a good software for
creating brainstorms. The
benefits of using tagul is that
you can customise your ‘tag
cloud’ to however you want it.

4. Construction
Sony HXR-MC 2000
- We decided to use this camera because we wanted to get the highest standard of recording
possible. These cameras are accessed through college. These cameras are simple to use and
recording can be easily imported onto the computer.
Cannon DSLR
- This was the camera that we used for the print advert because it has a high quality. As it was a
professional standard camera it made it easier to edit in Photoshop.

5. Post Production
Premier Pro
- Premier pro is the software that we used for editing our documentary and radio advert, we
chose to use this because it was the most professional and easiest editor to use. Before this
year I had never used this software, however it was fairly simple to use and it was easy to
organise the different types of footage into different folders. We used many effects in our
documentary, one of which was in our opening sequence, it made our title look like it was
appearing through the steam coming out of the kettle. The only negative thing about this
program was that when the clips weren’t rendered it made the footage delay which caused
the clips to jump.
Audacity
- This is the software we used to record the voice overs for the documentary and the radio
advert.
Photoshop
- Photoshop was used to edit the print advert, however only simple tools were used including
magic wand tool, clone, brush and fill. The benefit is that it is a professional software that creates
professional looking products

6. Evaluation
YouTube
- YouTube was the best was to present our documentary and radio advert
because it allowed us to get a good audience feedback and it was also and
easy was to upload our final products onto our blog. The advantages of
putting this on YouTube is that it is a global website so it is shared with people
all over the world
