How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

1. HOW DID YOU USE MEDIA
TECHNOLOGIES IN THE
CONSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH,
PLANNING AND EVALUATION
STAGES?
By Leah Simmons

2. RESEARCH AND PLANNING
Initially, the majority of my blog posts for my
research and planning stages were
constructed in Microsoft Word or Microsoft
PowerPoint as I saw it as the easiest platform
to access but there are many different ways
within these software programs to
manipulate the information to make it look
both affective and intriguing, these would
consist of either making lists, mind maps and
questionnaires.

3. After looking back through my
earlier posts, it came to my attention
that they all looked fairly using
different platforms to make my blog
seem more interesting. For example I
changed my mood board of location
shots to a video with different
transition which I created on
Animoto, which helped me develop
my skill on different media platforms
when constricting other posts and
media products.

4. Another post that I changed was my institution case study of
Sony Music Entertainment as it was a mind map that I
created on Microsoft PowerPoint but found website online
that made my mind map look more professional and it was
free and easy to use making it a great platform to use.

5. The post I put the most work in was my
shot list for my production as without out
this I would be completely lost when
filming my production. This was made on
Microsoft Excel which was the easiest and
most effective way of creating a table
which consisted of the shot number, the
camera angle being used, how long the
shot lasts for, what happens in the shot
and what props are being shown in the
shot (also this table was colour coordinated
to help distinguish between the real time
and which shots where flashbacks, helping
me organize different costumes for
different times).

6. Another media technology that I
used was my iPhone as we were
filmed as we sat with our
teacher and spoke about our
initial ideas for what we was
going to produce in the
foreseeable future. However,
there were a few faults by using
this device as the sound was
fairly quiet and my memory ran
out so I had to quickly delete
some content and upload it to
YouTube in two different parts.
