The document discusses the various software programs and tools the author used to create different elements of their multimedia project. They used Photoshop to create an ident, edit a poster and magazine, and draw frames for a hand animation. They also used Photoshop to edit footage from a camera, After Effects to add effects to video clips, Publisher to design layouts, and PowerPoint for an evaluation. Online tools like Prezi, YouTube, WordPress, and Slideshare helped present and host elements of the project.

2. I used Photoshop to create my ident and edit
both my poster and magazine.
 All of the frames in my short hand animation were drawn
and collected in Photoshop with the help of my Wacom
tablet.
 My poster was collected and edited on Photoshop. I used
the layering feature to organise the features. Similarly I
also used it to create my magazine cover. The tools that I
used most frequently were burn, dodge and eraser. The
effects were mostly down to the adjustment options in the
drop down menu at the top of the application.

3.  I used this to edit my footage which I shot using
my Toshiba camelio H30 camera and converted
into a working format using any video converter
(freeware). I also used this application to edit
the evaluation video above. I have come to grips
with the software in the past year and learnt
how to cut, extend edit clips using the software.
However because the software also has the
capability to apply effects to the video I have
also used it to play with the length, colour and
content of the clips.

4.  After effects has been a new step for me
altogether because unlike last year (where I
had the chance to use premiere) I haven’t
had any experience with it. I have found it
really enjoyable to learn about the
capabilities of the software and apply them
to my work.
 In particular I have used the software with
green screen shots and to add effects over
the top whilst making the usual tweaks like
colour correction and size.

5.  Publisher: I used this to make my moodboard
and try out different poster/magazine
layouts.
 PowerPoint: I have used this for the
evaluation stage of my project.

6. Online applications have helped me greatly in
presenting my project.
 Prezi: This was really easy to use and helped me
present my answer to question one of my
evaluation.
 Youtube: This helped me show case evidence of
my planning details of and the trailer itself.
 Wordpress: The website that hosts my project.
 Slideshare: This is the application that is hosting
all of my PowerPoint's.
