The document discusses the various media technologies used during the construction, research, planning, and evaluation stages of a project. Photoshop was used to edit photos and create a poster and magazine covers. InDesign was used to construct the magazine layout due to its capabilities. Premiere Pro, though difficult to learn initially, was used to edit videos and apply effects like color correction. YouTube was utilized to upload trailer versions and receive feedback. An edublog documented progress and allowed for comments. Additional technologies included a Panasonic camera, voice recorder, school computers, laptop, and Fujji camera.

1. How did you use media
technologies in the
construction and
research, planning
and evaluation
stages?- Construction of
the trailer,
poster and
magazine cover

2. Photosho
p
• This software is used for
editing photos to make them look
professional. I used this to
create and edit my poster, I was
able to use many different
effects and change the
brightness to make my poster
look more authentic.
• I also made a movie title card
for my trailer. I did this by
using the 3D tool and different
layers. By following a tutorial
online I found this easy to
make.
• I edited the images for my
magazine covers using photoshop,
making sure that they were
edited to a high standard.

3. InDesi
gn
InDesign is another software
that allows you to edit photos
and construct media products
such as magazines and posters.
This is why I decided to make
my film magazine using
InDesign.
I used a font called
‘Hitchcock’ for the writing
and made the title of the film
red so it would stand out.
I found this software easier
to use than Photoshop.

4. Premiere
Pro
This is a software that ables
you to edit videos at an
industry level. I found
Premiere pro really difficult
to use at first and it took
some getting use to. I tried
out many different effects
using this software, for
example the colour correction
on the dress. This technique
was relatively straight
forward. I also edited text
onto my clips to conform to a
film noir trailer.

5. I used youtube to upload
different versions of my trailer
to show my progression to the
final trailer that I created.
Edublog
s
On my blog I kept record of my
progression, this also allowed
people to comment on what I needed
to improve.

6. Other technologies
that I used
• Panasonic camera for filming
• Voice recorder
• School computers and my own
laptop
• Fuiji camera for the
photoshoot
