MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN
THE CONSTRUCTION AND
RESEARCH, PLANNING AND
EVALUATION

2. IMPACTS OF NEW MEDIA
TECHNOLOGIES?
• New media technology has had a positive and
negative affect on the film industry and In the
production of films. Now that in this day and age
we have/ still now experiencing the full effects of
media convergence, this has allowed society in
society to benefit such as furthering the skills of their
creativity. However it also been a pain the film
industries finance and culture, due to the nasty
plague of piracy and illegal downloading on the
internet affecting box offices finance for film.

3. REASONS WHY THIS HAS RAISED
• One of the main catalyst who are responsible for
the impacts of new technology with in the film
industry is due to technical media convergence.
Technical convergence is the idea of different
media technologies being combined into one
product. For example in this day and age mobile
phone consists of radios, cameras, mp3 players,
cam recorders and many more features. This has
resulted into film productions being way more
accessible to conduct for the public and individuals
who don’t have the cash to by expensive
equipment to recorder some footage.

4. AN EXAMPLE OF A MEDIA
CONVERGENCE ITEM
• If you look at one of the most common
mobile phones of today it would most
probably range to and IPhone. What
features do IPhone have
Video Recorder
Camera
ITunes : Music, Music Videos
Internet
Calculator
Calendars
Voice Recorders and many more
• If you notice all the listed features
above which are in this common
IPhone of today all the types of
technology you need to produce a
decent quality film.

5. TECHNOLOGIES WE USED IN THE
PRODUCTION OF OUR MEDIA PRODUCT
• The production process of the our film required and
involved us using many different pieces of
technology ( Hardware and Software). These are
listed below:
Video camera
Photoshop
Camera
InDesign
Computer
Mobile phone
Sound cloud
Final cut pro

6. IN WHAT WAYS DID WE USE AND HOW
DID THEY HELP US IN THE
PRODUCTION OF FILM
• Video Camera – the HD Video camera was one of the main
crucial pieces of technology/equipment that we used in order
to produce the film. The HD Video camera was the main
device were all the footage from the video was filmed
• Photoshop – the image manipulating software ‘Photoshop’
was the main software were I designed most of the images I
had to produce for my review and poster. This enable me to
take pictures and manipulate them in what ever way I
wanted.
• Camera – the HD Cameras I used was also another important
piece of technology that I had used to produce my poster
and review. Reason being because without the HD Camera I
wouldn’t have any pictures of the main characters or location
in my poster or review which I implemented.

7. CONTINUED…
• InDesign – this was the main software I used to produce
the review of my media product. InDesign is a software
which provides the tools for individuals of any
experience to design reviews, posters, flyers etc.
• Computer – A desktop computer was also one of the
main contributors for the result of broken trust for the
main simple fact that without the computer it would
have made it very hard nearly impossible for me to
communicate with my blog by updating it regularly. A
desktop computer was also used in the film as prop at
the beginning of the film when the main character
Jennifer is being bullied. Furthermore the desktop
computer also allowed me to carryout the majority of
my research due to it containing internet app behind
most of the features I produced for my film such as the
main three being Posters, Short Film and reviews.

8. CONTINUED…
• Final Cut Pro- this was the editing software used to put
together the footage we had filmed in the camera.
• Mobile Phone- my mobile phone played an important
part in the production of this project due it enabling me
to catch images of us in the process of conducting the
film and posters.
• WordPress – was another internet app which was the
main software technologies in the production of my film
hence this was the main place were I updated on how I
was producing this project. WordPress is a website which
allows people to blog and share their artworks.

9. PROBLEMS WE FACE WHEN
PRODUCING THIS PROJECT
• One of the main problems I was faced with was
getting with grips of knowing how to use the
software used to create the poster on Photoshop
and review on InDesign.
• Another problem raised in the production for me
was the time keeping of producing the film. The
production of this film required me (director)
organising the times to meet up to film the film. This
was difficult as some people were available when
some people weren't which resulted into us leaving
things late and then RUSHING!

10. WEB 2.0
• The web 2.0 theory suggest that media audiences and
consumers don’t just purchase and consume media
content anymore, we now also create and design our
own media content for the near enough same
enjoyment and pleasure. Furthermore when this is usually
done it is often explored on the internet which is another
way of people exemplifying their talent and creativity on
the internet.
• This highly related and corresponded in the ways in
which I produce my media content. For the simple
reason that I produce my media content by myself for
my enjoyment and interest and shared it on the
interente similar to what the theory suggest
