1. Q4. How did you use media
technologies in the
construction and research,
planning and evaluation
stages?

2. Youtube Research
I conducted research through YouTube to watch other soap trailers. By
watching other trailers this gave me the inspiration for the scenes in
my own soap and what I should include in my own trailer.

3. I made a YouTube account so that I could upload my own trailers and post them
on the website. From here I could share my videos and embed them into my
blog.

4. iMacs
The use of the iMacs enabled the group to edit the footage we
had captured and create each trailer. iMovie was significant
to the creation of the trailer, it enabled us to edit all aspects
of the footage including the sound. Everything could be
produced in one place using a professional program. We
could also use the iMovie feature to edit the sound of the
trailer this included adding a soundtrack and
ducking/increasing the sound.

5. Soundtrack
To get the music we wanted to use for our trailer we first had to use
YouTube to find a song that we liked and thought would work well.
From here we would then have
to copy and past the YouTube
link into a video ripping site to
retrieve the audio.

6. I used the website www.youtube-mp3.org to rip the audio.
We then had to paste the link into
the website where the video audio
was changed to mp3 so it could be
downloaded.
