Question 4
How did you use media technologies in
the construction and research, planning
and evaluation stages?
2. Adobe Premiere CS5
All of the documentary and the radio advert were create on
Premiere. We had multiple tracks for different songs to that we
could have them all at different levels. I feel that this works well as
some interviews where quieter then others and we needed to be
able to make them louder and the sound bed under them quieter,
using the audio mixer.

3. Adobe Premiere CS5
Each sound and video clip we imported
separately and each of them had to be edited
weather that was the volume or the brightness
and contrast.
On the sound we added constant gains
between the clip which we were
repeating so that the blended well
together. I think that this worked well
as when you are watching the
documentary you can not tell the
music is repeated and it flows well.

Photoshop and Lightroom
We used Photoshop and Lightroom to create the newspaper advert. As we
could turn the image black and white in light room and we could add the
text and the image in the pupil of the eye in Photoshop. I think what we
did was very successful

Blogger
All of our pieces of course work for
the unit are presented on this
website. You can include images, text,
videos and more into your work
easily .
6. + Slide Share
Side share is a internet site were you can upload power points and work
documents easily and link them to your blog. I used this for quite a few of
my course work pieces as I could make them how I wanted them in the
document, and upload them. This also helped when the group was
struggling we could go on to one of the others slide share to inspire us as
what to write next.

Tagul
This site allows you to add either separate words of a paragraph and give
certain words different weights or say how important the word is. As a
ground we did a brain storming activity and I chose the most common words
of each spider diagram and added them to Tagul and decided which word
was most important for each idea. This was good for our project as we could
see what we could focus on most out of our different ideas.

Camera and Equipment
We used a Sony DCR-SD 1000E camera to film
our interviews as this is a semi professional
broadcasting camera and shots in 720p. It
worked well as it gave up professional quality
video but I found that when we where filming
the Vox Pops we had some problems with the
sound of the wind when we were using the
external microphone so one a few we had to
switch to the clip microphone. Also on one of
our interviews we had to do the opposite as
the clip mic was broken also during that
interview we didn’t have a base pate to fit the
camera the tripod so we faced some problems
levelling the shot. The tripod we used was just
a standard tripod. To record the voice over we
used a zoom voice recorder we like the camera
this gave to a professional sounding voice
over, and this was a very easy to use piece of
equipment.

Prezi
Prezi is a site where you can present your work
professionally using the themes they already have or create
your own. This has been very use full to use as al you have
to do it type what you want into it and like slide share if we
were stuck we were able to look at each others work and
figure out what we needed to do next.
