The document discusses the various media technologies used during the research, planning, production, post-production, and evaluation stages of a coursework project. During research and planning, the student used Blogger, Google Drive, Tagul, Prezi, Infogr.am, and SlideShare to organize information and ideas. For production, a Sony camera and Canon DSLR were used to film footage. Premier Pro, Audacity, and Photoshop were the main software used for post-production tasks like editing video and audio and designing advertisements. YouTube and social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter were utilized for sharing final projects and gathering audience feedback during evaluation.

Research and Planning
 Blogger
 This was the first step in my Production Process
because I knew I would need this to hose all of my
final production work.
 The advantages of this are all my work is available
in one place and is accessible by my teachers and
the examiners without the risk of losing
paperwork.
 Google Drive
 This is a key component in the production and find
process of our documentary as it allowed us to have 30
GB of free storage with the shared folder so we can all
access vital information if one of the other group
members wasn’t available.
 What are the main advantages of this is that we say
time is there waiting for the other person to come back
from university interviews unplanned sickness.
 Tagul
 Tagul is a fast and quirky way of showing small
amounts of information as a brainstorm which
worked really well for our brainstorm of ides in
the planning stage of our production.
 The advantages of this platform are that you get to
display your work effectively and that it can be
embedded via HTML.
 Prezi
 This is an alternative way of presenting your
information online instead of PowerPoint. One of
the main reasons that you do your Prezi is because
of the unique way it displays your presentations.
 Again one of the main advantages of this platform
is that you can embedded it by HTML directly
onto your blog.

Research and Planning
 Infogr.am
 This is an effective way of displaying statistics
questionnaires. This platform creates information
graphics from the information you input. In our
case we use the results from our questionnaire.
 The main advantages of this waffle is that it can be
embedded via HTML directly onto your blog and
that it is visually dynamic for the viewer.
 SlideShare
 SlideShare was another key component in the planning,
production and evaluation stages I’m a documentary.
This platform allowed us to embed word documents,
PowerPoints, PDF files and other documents to our
blogs.
 The advantages of this are that we were able to upload
all possible evidence via one platform or another.
 PowerPoint
 PowerPoint was used as a way of collating large
amounts of information into short and snappy
bullet points. This was key in demonstrating some
information on our blogs.
 The main advantage of this is that we do not have
to learn how to use any platform in order to create
the evidence.

Production - Equipment
 Sony HXR-MC 2000
 One of the main reasons we chose
this style of camera, to film a
documentary, was to produce the
highest standard of video footage
that we could get hands-on.These
cameras film in 1080p HD and are
easy to access through the college.
 The main advantages of these
cameras are they are easy to use
when filming and importing onto a
computer system.
 They have a professional standard
video and have the option to add an
external microphone which is key
for interviews.
 Cannon DSLR
 For the print advert we are DSLR to
shoot a high-quality background image.
Using this professional standard
camera allowed us to edit the photo
within Photoshop to develop the advert
to the highest possible standard.

Post - Production
 Premier Pro
 Premiere pro was the editor of choice for our documentary and radio advert the reason we chose
premiere pro was because it was the most professional and easy to use editor available to us. Prior to
this course I had no idea how to use premiere pro and had to develop my skills throughout this
production process.The software made it easy to organize footage and sound and cut them together
on the timeline. Using the effects within the program we were able to manipulate footage to treat the
best documentary possible.
 One of the effects used within documentary was on the title text which made it look like it was
appearing through the steam in the background.
 Using the audio levels on the timeline you are able to level the sound across the documentary to
ensure that all the sound in the documentary was at an equal level.
 When we had filmed interviews the microphone only recorded morrow sound so we had to develop it
to stereo by using an effect on the audio fax panel called ‘fill right’.
 When we had finished documentary baseball today as the high definition format which we uploaded
toYouTube audience feedback and for presentation.
 When producing the radio advert we use the same tools such as the cutting tool and the audio levels
tool to cut and place the advert together.When we have finished the advert we exported it as an audio
only file.

Post - Production
 Premier Pro
 Some of the benefits of this program but that it is easy to use and easy to get
your head around.This was key as we do not have the time to spend hours
upon hours learning the software.This software was also efficient in
everything as it has been used by industry professional, which gave us the
necessary tools to move on into the industry.
 So the negatives of this program are that you have to render when you make
a change which delayed those in some parts of the production process. Also
that if you’re not using a high and computer software sometimes freezes or
missing out frames which causes defect in the production.

 Audacity
 We used Audacity to record voice-
overs for both the documentary on the
radio advert.This is a useful program as
it is free however has the professional
editing tools available.
 The advantages of this software is that it
allows us to export the audio in a
format, which is compatible with
premiere pro which was our editor.
 Photoshop
 During the production process
wheeze to the shop to edit our
newspaper advert.This was only
using some of the simple tools
available however allowed us to
treat the most realistic newspaper
advert possible. Some of the tools
we used were the brush, fill, clone
and magic wand tool.
 Again the advantages of this
product is that it is a professional
software allowing us to create
professional results.

Evaluation
 YouTube
 In the evaluation process we use
YouTube to host our documentary
and radio advert to show to our
audience to get audience
feedback and display on our blog
by using the embed function that
uses HTML.
 The benefits of this are that
YouTube is a well-known platform
and is trusted by millions of
people across the world.
 Social Media
 Facebook & Twitter
 Facebook and Twitter were an essential
part of the evaluation process as it
allowed us to share and gain
information for audience feedback.
 The advantages of these platforms is
that they are online and available to
everybody which allowed us to get a
wide range of feedback from a lots of
different people.
