We used various media technologies throughout the construction, research, planning, and evaluation stages of our documentary. For research and planning, we used blogs to document our work, YouTube to watch inspirational documentaries, and Wikipedia for facts and statistics. In construction, we used iMovie to edit our documentary, a Canon camera to record footage, and GarageBand to record voiceovers. For ancillaries, we utilized composition and Photoshop to manipulate images, and InDesign for page layout and graphics.

5. Blogger
• We will tell people that we had to keep documented all
our work virtually, by using the Blogger. Each draft and
each step of everything we had to posted on the blog.
• This made it easier for the examiner and teacher to access
our work.
• In our blogs we had to put everything we do in class and
at home, and also do VLOGS to explain how the process
of our work is going.

6. • Wikipedia
• YouTube
• Slide share

7. Web 2.0
 YouTube – We will say how we used YouTube to watch different
inspirational TV documentaries for our research. It helped us to get the
links and to talk about the documentaries.
 Wikipedia – In order to access information about our topic, we had to
research and the best way to find information was online. Wikipedia
helped us with dates and figures, from there we could include statistics
towards our research and understanding of the topic.
 Slide Share – This was the platform that we used to put all our
presentations in our blog, it allowed us to put heavily presentations in
our blogger. All of our presentations was in one place, and we could
also go back and forth to change things.

9. PowerPoint
 We will say how you can easily use a slideshow to present
your ideas and your researches.
- How to embed videos
- Brainstorm your ideas
 PowerPoint helped us to record our progress during drafts,
as for example we were able to use tables to explain what
have changed and what we will improve on it.

12. IMovie
•IMovie is one of the main software we used for our
construction. IMovie helped us edit our documentary and
Evaluation.
•Since the beginning we had to learn step by step how to use
IMovie because last year we used an older version.
•We learnt how import and export videos , how to put the
videos together in older for everything to have a meaning
when finished.

14. Camera
 For this year we used a different camera, allowing us to have a better
quality image. The camera that we used was Cannon EOS 1100D. The
image was in HD allowing us to have a great quality
 The camera could take picture and also record, the sound was the
weakest point from the camera because it didn’t include a
microphone, only an internal microphone.
 The camera also had two lenses, one from 18 to 55 mm. Also another
lenses from 70 – 300 mm. This allowed us to have extreme close ups
with great image as well.

15. Rafaella

16. Garage Band
 We will talk about how we used garage band to record our
voiceovers
- No effects (to be clear and real)
 We can also do our own music on it, using all the effects
tools that is available on garage band and by doing so we
don’t need to search for copy right free music

17. Ancillaries

18. • Framing
• Meaning
Alexa

19. Composition
We used composition in a lot of thing during the process of
R&P, construction, ancillaries & evaluation, but for the
ancillaries ,composition was an important element.
We had to keep looking at framing when taking the picture
for ancillaries in older to send the right message to the
audience.
We also had to manipulate the characters in the picture so
they could act well to sent the message we wanted to send.

20. Dafne

21. Photoshop
 We used Photoshop for quick changes in our photographs.
 Photoshop allowed us to change the background and to
make the picture have more contrast and more brightness.
 Photoshop also allowed us to change anything that we
wanted to take away from the picture.

22. Rafaella

23. InDesign
 We will talk about page size which is very important when
printing it.
 Also we will show how to place a picture, which you need to
pay attention when sizing the picture because of the pixels
and quality
 Another important tool, is how to design graphics on the
page, for example we used the gender icons in our draft 4
