This document discusses the various media technologies used during the construction and evaluation of a documentary project. It describes using websites to research the history and effects of social media. Statistics were gathered from Statistic Brain. Existing documentaries were analyzed from YouTube. Research was also done on the most effective TV channels to reach the target audience. Draft layouts of pages were created and scanned. Audio was recorded and edited in Final Cut Express for inclusion. Premiere Pro, Vimeo, iPhone, YouTube, Prezi and PowerPoint were used at different stages for editing, sharing, gathering feedback and presenting evaluations.

Technologies In The
Construction And Research,
Planning And Evaluation
Stages?

I wanted to research some of the history
behind social networks and social media
and I finally came across this website that
had a brief yet useful information all about
the history of social media which allowed
me to use and learn quite a lot about the
topic.

8. 
This was another website which I used to find out
some of the good and bad effects of social media,
I thought this could be quite essential towards our
documentary to intrigue in our audience.


We used Statistic Brain as it is a very
reliable website used by businesses,
and the general public to get all the
latest updates and can even hold old
information if searched.
We used this because we wanted to
find out the latest statistics gathered
on social networking.

13. 
We had to analyse many more existing
documentaries to ensure our product can
be proficient. To do this we initially used
YouTube, which is another search engine
which navigates you to specific videos.

This allowed me to watch and analyse
some documentaries that were available
on YouTube. However it wasn't always
reliable as parts of the documentaries
were divided into sections and were not
always easily accessible.

18. 

The reason we chose to research
on just three channels which
were BBC One, ITV1 and Channel
Four, was because we thought
they would be the most effective
in reaching our target audience.
We had also done a focus group
in which they also said that they
mostly watch documentaries on
these channels.
Finally from all the research and
findings, the channel we thought
best suited displaying our
documentary style was channel
Four, because of the fact that it
shows similar documentaries to
ours.

After the research we did a draft layout of
our double page spread.
We included where everything will be in
terms of where the images will be, how big
each image would be and where the written
article and heading would go.
Once we did this, we scanned it in and
added it to our blogs to show the idea and
plan of the double page spread before it
was constructed, the draft helped us to
remember and follow the layout of the page
which made it a lot quicker in creating the
product.

I had also included another voice in the Radio Trail who
was the Radio presenter.
This was recorded on a recording device which I then
transferred with an USB port and finally dragged onto
Final Cut Express where I cut and edited some of the
parts into sections to apply in different parts of the
Radio Trail.

64. I used Premiere Pro for evaluation 1 to edit
my video’s together and used a recording
device to record my voiceover.
I uploaded evaluation 1 on to Vimeo in order for
my video to be available on Blogger, I had also
used my IPhone and recorded a Focus Group
Feedback for Evaluation 3 and used YouTube
to upload this.
To present what I had learned from
evaluation 3 I used Prezi to do this where I
also inserted my focus group video into
Prezi.
For Evaluation 2 and 4 I had used PowerPoint
to present my work, which was then uploaded
onto Slideshare .
