2. Over the period of creating our
coursework we have use a number of
different real media technologies to
help us along the way.

3. • HD Digital Video Camera
• Tripod
• iMac
• Final Cut Express
• Photoshop
•Slideshare
•Prezi
• Mobile Phone
•Blogger
•YouTube
•Wordle
• Digital Still Camera

4. For our A2 coursework we were able
to use high definition cameras to
record footage rather than using a
standard definition camera. This
allowed us to film in a higher quality
so that it looks more professional.
We used the camera in our research
and construction. Not only did we
use it to film our music video but we
also used it to film our audience
research. This was a vital piece of
technology because without it we
could not complete our coursework
at all.

5. The tripod was a very
important piece of technology
because it allowed us to film
easily and professionaly.
Without it our shots would
have been shaky, unsteady
and looked rubbish. We used
the tripod for mostly the
construction but also for
research when we filmed our
audience research interviews.

6. The iMac computers were very
important to us as we were
using the all of the time because
we were using them to search
the internet, edit our video and
keep a record of our work on
blogger. The iMacs were perfect
for us as we could use them for
research, construction,
planning and the evaluation
because they contain all of the
software that we need such as
final cut express, the internet
and adobe photoshop. So as
you can see it is a vital piece of
technology.

7. Final cut express was a piece of
technology that we used the most
throughout our coursework
because we used it to edit all of
the tasks that we did on camera.
My skills of using final cut
express improved massively from
when I edited the preliminary
task to when I edited my final
music video. We used this
technology for construction in a
lot more detail than research
because when editing research we
only needed to edit in straight
cuts with no added extras.

8. Photoshop was a very difficult
but valuable piece of technology
that we used. We only used
photoshop for the construction
side of the project. Photoshop
was very important to us
because we used it to make our
digipak and magazine advert
and we could not of made them
without it. To begin with I
found it very difficult to use so I
was just using it in a very basic
way but when I began to
understand it more I could use it
more effectively. For example
using the clone stamp tool.

9. Slideshare was a piece of
technology that I used for
planning and my evaluation. I
used it so that I could convert my
powerpoint presentations in to
slideshares so that I could put
them on to my blog. For example
I used one to show the potential
settings props and locations for
planning and I am using it to set
out my evaluation question.

10. Prezi is a new piece of
technology that we found and
used it for my evaluation. Prezi
is similar to a powerpoint
presentation but it can be used
in a more effective way and it is
more attractive so it can grab the
viewers attention more. Because
I was new to Prezi I made a
couple of practice ones so that I
could then use it for one of my
evaluation questions.

11. I used a still digital camera quite
often because I used it for taking
pictures of our plans and
pictures of things like location
for research. I also used it so that
we could take pictures of us
during the construction section
for my blog.

12. I did not use a mobile phone
very often. I used it so that I
could take pictures for
planning and research when I
didn’t have still digital camera
avalable.

13. Blogger is the technology that I
used all of the time because I had
to be recording my work all of the
time. I was able to upload
pictures, videos, slide shares and
prezi so that I could present all of
my work

14. I used YouTube quite a lot for
research because it is a very
easy way to access music
videos so that I could get an
idea of what we should be
doing. Also it made it very
easy for me to look at past
students work so that I could
see that standard of work and
see what other students have
in their videos.

15. Wordle is a piece of technology
that allowed me to present my
research in an attractive way. I
used it to display our survey
results. Using wordle is a very
effective way of presenting
information because it shows he
information very clearly.

16. As you can see we used a wide range of technologies
to help us in completing our coursework product.
