We used various media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages of our coursework. This included using a Canon D600 video camera with a tripod to record footage, which was then transferred to a computer via card readers. We also used Google Blogger to document our process online and embed links from other sites. Additionally, social media like Twitter and email allowed us to communicate with teachers for feedback or answers to questions. The internet provided a valuable resource for research and finding ideas or support from previous student work. Finally, Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro were utilized for designing a digipak, magazine ad, and constructing a music video.

1. How did we use media
technologies in the
construction and research,
planning and evaluation
stages?

2. Brand new state if
the art video
cameras.
We used a Cannon D600 to record
our video and to keep our recording
still we would use a tripod.
Afterwards, we transfer our footage
to the computer via the card
readers.

3. Google blogger.
We used google blogger. This is an online blog
which we use to document all stages of our
coursework. In order to make it look easy to
use, we used tags to split our coursework up
into sections. Also, blogger has allowed me to
embed links from different sites, allowing my
posts to be visually interesting.

4. Websites

5. Social media
we kept in touch with our
teachers via twitter or email. In
doing so we got feedback or
questions answered quickly.

6. Internet
Due to technological convergence, it has
become easier for us to use the internet
to get the information we needed to do
our tasks especially the research task.
Also, because of the internet being
available to us we had the ability to gain
ideas or support from previous student
work.

7. Photoshop & Video
Editing.
Photoshop played a big role when we were
creating our digipak and magazine ad. This
program allowed us to use a series of filters,
it also gave us the ability to experiment and
try new things in Photoshop.
We used adobe premier Pro to successfully
construct our music video. In premier pro we
used a lot of fast paced cuts so it fit well in
with our chosen genre.
