The student used a wide range of new media technologies throughout the creation of their advanced portfolio. Final Cut Pro was used for editing video clips, layering sound, dialogue and soundtrack. YouTube provided research and inspiration. Blogger presented thoughts and progress. A 600D SLR camera allowed for changing lenses and a fold-out screen. New media technologies played an integral role in planning, production, post-production and evaluation, benefitting the overall outcome.

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

2. • The use of modern media technologies have made my advanced portfolio possible. without some of this
tech, it would not be possible to create a production as high quality as our finished piece. New media
technologies have not only helped in providing us with information and inspiration for our production, but
have also given me a platform to present my work in a number of ways. I used a wide range of new media
technologies during the creation of my Advanced Portfolio; some were used sporadically for specific needs
and some were consistently used at every stage of production.

3. Final Cut Pro X
• Having experience with final cut in my previous
year i was able to extend my knowledge and
understanding of this software. where laborious
hours of editing are valuable as they give you
much needed experience. with every new skill
learned on this software you find yourself using
that skill to improve both the production and the
ease that you can use the software
• Final Cut Pro was used to edit our main
production. After using Adobe premiere pro for
our AS production moving on to a different
software ambitious with our post production such
as through colour grading. We used Final Cut to
both cut and edit our video clips, but also to layer
the foley sounds, dialogue and soundtrack to
create the finished piece.

4. Youtube was used throughout our A-level course, mostly used as a
research and informative tool. Youtube having such a vast amount of
content which approximately adds up to 819,417,600 hours of video,
there is a video for just about everything. Videos that consist of anything
from tutorials on how to use software, videos for inspiration and to help
explain evaluative point for our Advance portfolio have all been used
throughout the course making youtube an integral part of media sharing.
Thus making youtube a major part of our course.

5. Blogger
Blogger is the platform in which we present our thoughts of
our production where it can be made visual the progress
from start to finish. It shows our thought process and puts
our ideas on an easy to use personal web page which can
be made to our liking.

6. 600D SLR camera
This camera differed from the simple digital camera used in
my AS production its features consist of being able to easily
change leses to fit the scene which was helpful as there
was a variety of shots used throughout the sequence. It had
a fold out screen display which we could use instead of the
view finder which was useful when using the rig, camera
slider and the glide cam.

7. New media technologies played an integral and irreplaceable part in the
production of my Advanced Portfolio. It has been ever present
throughout the planning, pre-production, production, post-production and
evaluation stages. The ways in which I have used new media
technologies have most certainly benefitted the overall outcome of my
Advanced Portfolio. They have allowed us to produce a production that I
believe is quite professional, and enabled me to share our progress in
almost real time.
