2. CONSTRUCTION
Being the camera person, I decided to film using
the SLR camera. I chose the SLR camera
because the quality is high and it is very easy to
use. I have also used the SLR camera before
therefore I have experience using it and I can
use this to get a footage that is of a high
standard. Also, the camera is small compared to
other video cameras and the advantage of this
is the fact that it made it easier to carry the
camera to the different locations.

3. NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGY
New media technology allows us to send
information/documents/files in a digital format. An
example is web 2.0 where social networking such
as Twitter and Instagram is available. Loads of
different information about different topics is also
available and users are able to send files to one
another. Other ways of transferring information is
via a USB or CDs.

4. PHOTOBUCKET
I was the only one in my group to use this site. I used
this website to present the reece pictures. I decided
to use this software because it presents the
pictures professionally and in a slide show. Also, it
uploads pictures very quickly and it also allowed us
to add captions for each of the pictures. The
viewers will be able to view the pictures in an
organised way.

5. MACBOOK PRO
Macbook Pro was the laptop we used in school to
complete our coursework. I mainly used this laptop
if I was completing my coursework on an online
website such as Prezi. I did not like using Microsoft
websites on the Macbook because the layout was
different compared to the one on my own computer.

6. PHOTOSHOP CS5
Photoshop is a software which allows us to edit
pictures. This was my first time using this software
and it took me a couple of months for me to learn
the basic skills of using this programme in order for
me to create the film poster and film review. Once I
familiarised myself with the software I managed to
produce my work to the highest possible standard
that I could achieve. I learned the fact that work
produced on Photoshop is more professional than
using sites such as Publisher.

8. POLLSNACK
PollSnack enables users to create an online survey. I
used this software to create the pre- questionnaire
and post questionnaire. It is an useful site as it
saves a lot of time and it is straightforward. The
template is already created so it only required me to
create the questions and the answer options. This
site is better than Survey Monkey because it allows
us to create more than 10 questions for free.

9. BUBBL.US
This software is designed to create online brainstorm.
We used this site when brainstorming our
production company name and ideas. This site is
only useful for creating brainstorms. It is a good
way of presenting brainstorms as it allows us to add
colour and also it is quick and easy to use.

10. BLOGGER
Blogger was one of the sites we used. This is where
we created our group blog. We used this site to
upload our coursework and to embed all our work.
We used Blogger because we prefer this site over
other websites such as Tumblr. It helped us keep all
our coursework in one place and helped us keep
organised. I was personally responsible to create
the account and to make sure our work was
uploaded properly.

11. YOUTUBE
Youtube was another important site we used. Being
the camera person, I found it useful as I watched
videos of different camera shots and angles to help
expand my ideas and to make my ideas more
creative. We also used this site to upload our final
video publicly for the audience to see and also to
gain feedback. I also used this site to annotate my
film for my evaluation task. I also searched
different sound effects that could be used within our
film. I then used Youtube Mp3 converter to convert
the video into Mp3 format.

12. USB
The function of a USB is to transfer files from one
place to another. It allowed me personally to send
my work to my other group members faster than
using an email. I could use any of the files on any
computers and all my coursework was backed up
on to my USB just in case any of my work get lost
or deleted.

13. WHATSAPP
Whatsapp is an app that can downloaded onto
phones and allows users to communicate with one
another. We created a group chat and discussed
important details to do with our production such as
where we are filming and how we are going to meet
up. It was a quick way for us to communicate with
each other.

14. FINAL CUT PRO
Final Cut Pro was mainly used by the editor has this
site is mainly used for editing. It helped us cut down
any footage that we do not need. We also used this
to add the final elements to our film such as the
sound and transitions to make it look more
professional. It was my first time using this site and
I was responsible for logging and capturing. With
the help of my group, I managed to use this
software.

15. PREZI
Prezi is a more professional version of Microsoft
Powerpoint. I came across this site last year as
previous students have recommended this to me. I
have used this online presentation numerous times
as it is an interactive way of presenting my
coursework. This site has variety of templates for
different purposes and allows users to add images
or Youtube videos on their presentation.

16. FACEBOOK AND TWITTER
We created a Facebook and Twitter account to
advertise our film 'Life is a Journey'. Both of these
social networking sites are a good way for us to
reach a wider audience and also for us to gain
feedback to those who have watched our short film.

17. SLIDESHARE
I mainly used Slideshare to upload my Powerpoint
onto Blogger. It was quick and easy to use as it only
required me to upload the Powerpoint presentation
and then copy the embedded code onto Blogger.
Slideshare is not as interactive as other sites
however the way my Powerpoint was presented,
was in an organised and professional way.

18. SCRIBD
As a group we used Scribd frequently. To upload word
documents onto Blogger it requires an embedded
code therefore I uploaded word document on this
site, which then gave me an embedded code, so I
could upload my work onto Blogger. I mainly used
this site for the pre and post production work. The
only problem with Scribd was the fact that it wasn't
interactive at all.

19. ISSUU
Issuu is a site similar to Scribd. This site presents the
word documents in an interactive way. I used this
site when my word documents was more than a
page long. The users are able to view it as if they
are reading a print publication online. Production
Schedule was a document that I uploaded onto
Blogger by Issuu.

20. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, due to the new media technology I was
able to complete my work in a professional,
interactive and organised way. Through using these
different softwares, I learnt different skills and
improved the quality of my work from last year.
