The document discusses the use of various media technologies throughout the planning, production, and evaluation stages of a media project. During planning and research, the student used Google, YouTube, SlideShare and Publisher to research other films, film posters, and reviews. iMovie was used to edit the short film. Photoshop and an iPhone camera were used to create promotional materials like the film poster and magazine review. Survey Monkey was used to collect audience feedback on the short film, which informed further edits. Overall, a wide range of technologies supported the conceptualization, creation and improvement of the media product.

2. Q1.Inwhatwaydoes yourmediaproductuse,

As our film is called ‘Invisible' it is already kind of telling you what the film is about. the word invisible is
very powerfully. this is because it is stating that someone feels invisible to the rest of the world. also, as
the film title is only one word, it can be memorable to the audience. Our short film is set in a school,
therefore we knew it would be good to actually film the short film in a school. For example, we used
classrooms to film some of the scenes in, with real teachers. Location is a very important thing when
making a short film. This is because it makes the film seem more realistic. The opening scene is very
important in a short film.
This is because if you get the audiences straight away it will make them want to carry on watching it,
where as if its not that interesting at first, the audience may get distracted and loose concentration. Our
short films opening scene is when there are a bunch of students entering the school. This opening scene
has already set the scene.
The mise en scene is key to have in a short film. This is what makes the film look realising. I think it does
because if you have the wrong key of lighting it can make the film look un-professional. there are many
different things that we used in mise en scene, including; the main prop which was the lighter.
The lighter was the main prop because we made sure we zoomed in, and focused on the lighter to try
and hint things that was going to happen. the character who we used was Rhys. We used Rhys because
he was happy to play the part. the clothing we used on Rhys was typical boy wear. We had a scene
where he was changing his clothing to try and fit in with the rest of the friendship group. this is also part
of the costuming and props. When creating the film poster, we made sure it was still realistic, but we
made also made it as though the colour scheme. We did this by making sure we used the same colours
on the film poster to make it look dull, but exciting at the same time. i think this worked well because it
made it seem mysteries because its not giving much away.
Whereas on the magazine review we portrayed many different scenes through out the film. This Showed
us that there is a dog as a main focus, as she was in two of the pictures from the film. we made this a bit
more colourful as there was props in background of the action shots.

3. Q2.How effectiveisthe combinationofyourmain
productandancillarytext?
When we was creating the film poster, we made sure that we researched them before we did
it. we made sure we did plenty of research before starting. we did this so we are fully
educated on what a good film poster looks like. When i was researching the film poster, i then
understand why film producers do it, it is to advertise the film and to make sure that everyone
is aware that there is a new film coming/came out.
The things that you need to include is, the film title, actors names, due date, production and
sometimes a tag line. We didn't include a tag line on our film poster. Our film poster is quite
simple, but I think that it is quite powerful. I think it attracts the audiences attention because it
looks different. This is because the flame is in the centre on the poster, I think this catches the
audiences attention.
Also when we creating the magazine film review, we had to make sure we was fully educated
on what a good film magazine looks like, and what a bad one looks like. This made me feel as
though it made out film magazine review a lot better than what it would do if I didn't research
them.
We found that the film magazine review pictures were all action shots from the actually
filming, we made sure we did this when we was filming, we also found that it mostly the main
character who appeared on this. when we was writing the review we made sure we used
exciting words such as, 'warms your heart' 'deja vu' 'awareness that bulling is still going on'.
This shows that it can have quite an effect on the audience.
I think that the magazine review is effective to the audience because it combines with the
other products that we created in my course work. I think the magazine film review makes the
short film have more impact. I think this because it makes the audience want to watch the
film.

4. Q3.Whathaveyou leanedfromaudience
feedback?
The audience feedback is very important when creating a new product. this is because the
responses that you will get is what the audience actually think. This can help you in the future
for planning what you are actually going to do.
The type of audience feedback that we receives was through survey monkey. I added
questions on there when we was planning our film.
We leaned that the audience wanted to see in the future with films. we also wanted to know
what different types of technology is used to watch films.
This helped us improve our short film because it made us figure out what different types of
technology our film could be distributed by. I think the audience feedback is one of the most
important things because its the audience opinion that matter the most.
We used survey monkey to get audience feedback we used this software because I think it
helped because it give you the answers that you need, and it is simple to use. As we also we
unloaded our short film to YouTube, we also got feedback from there, with many different
comments.
Some of the feedback that we got was to add more scenes, that's why we then took it of you
tube, added a few more scenes in, and then uploaded it again to YouTube. That is why in some
of the scenes the cast have different clothes on. We then got better feedback from this
because it improved out short film.

5. Q4.How didyouusemediatechnologyinthe
constructionandresearch,planningand
evaluationstages?
• Through out all of my course work there are many different types of technology that
have helped me including: Blogger, Slide share, Google, YouTube, iMovie, Publisher,
Photoshop and iPhone camera.
• These different types of technology have helped me produce all of my course work
this year. Without any of these different types of technology I wouldn't have been
able to do my work.

6. I have used this blogger to keep all of my work up-to-date and to keep a record of
everything that I have done through out this year. this has helped me keep on track on all my work
because I know what I have done, and what I haven't done. I think this is a good idea to use blogger
because it keeps all of my work together, therefore I wouldn't lose it.
I used slide share to look at other peoples work. This has helped me because if I
was ever unsure of what I needed to do, I could look on there and see what other people have done.
This has helped me figure out what I need to do within my course work this year
I have used Google throughout all of my research to research things that i needed to
know. I used this type of technology because it is very easy to access, and it easy to understand. i
used Google through out all of my course work.
I used YouTube when we was palling out short film. I used YouTube to research other
short films that have been created. I watched these to fully understand what a short film was. This
was very helpful to me because it help me figure out what I needed to do, and it showed me what a
good short film was.
My group used iMovie at the final stages of our course work. This was to create our short
film. we used this piece of technology because it a good piece of technology to use when creating it.
this is because it has all the latest features. we also used this piece of technology because it made
our film look better and professional. we used iMovie on a mac laptop.

7. We used publisher when we was planning and researching in the first few steps. This is
because we had to produce a PowerPoint of annotations on different film posters and magazine film
reviews. this is so that we have a full understanding of what we needed to do, and what a good one
looked like.
We used Photoshop when we was creating our film magazine review, and film poster. we
used Photoshop because it is a good technology to used when editing pictures. this is because it has
many different features that can change the way images can look.
We used the iPhone 6 camera throughout all of out filming and photography. We used this
camera because it has got a high quality camera which made the image really clear. we made sure
that we used the same camera through-out it all because if we would have used different, you would
have been able to see it, and tell a difference. this would have made out short film look odd.
We have also used Microsoft PowerPoint to create many different PowerPoint presentations.
We have put research that we have found, on them and then uploaded them onto slide share so that
they can go on my blogger account. I found that using PowerPoint it has made my coursework look
better than what it would on just a normal word document. I think this because it makes it look more
interesting and it makes it look more presentable.
