- 3. DIGITAL SLR CAMERA… Whenusing this camera I learnt how to: Using and handling the camera safely, How to use the focusing wheels accurately, How to use the camera when working in an outside environment, Work the flash. I used this specific type of camera because digital cameras have viewing screens on the camera body which allows me to view the image as soon as I had clicked to view it. If I do not like the image I have taken I could either delete it if it was of bad quality or take another photo that is of better quality. Furthermore, digital cameras also have a large memory, therefore can hold a large amount of photos allowing me to take as many shots as I needed to get the perfect image for my magazine.
- 4. DEVELOPMENT/PRODUCTION OF PHOTOSHOP SKILLS… Before creating my magazines I had never used Adobe Photoshop therefore there was a variety of tools I learnt to use, such as; Magic Wand tool Transformation tools Polygonal Lasso tool Stroke tool Eraser/blur tool Adobe Photoshop was the best software to use when producing my media product because it allowed me to create a high standard product that looked professional. For example I wouldn’t have been able to keep my colour scheme the exact same on my front cover and double page spread without the use of the ‘eyedropper’ tool.
- 5. CREATING A WORDPRESS BLOG… Creating a blog seemed like a challenge because I have never used one before. However once I got to know the basics of how to navigate around the system and uploading and editing posts it was quite an easy task. When producing my blog I had to make sure that I kept it interesting for others to look at by using different software's to display my work, for example uploading videos, word documents, PowerPoints and images .
- 6. USING A RANGEOF MICROSOFT PROGRAMS… Even though I already knew how to use Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint, I was able to develop further skills, for example creating useful tables and creating a variety of designs. However I struggled when using Microsoft Excel, this is because I was unsure on how to create pie charts, I wanted to create these to show the results of my questionnaire. To learn how to use this software I watched a tutorial on YouTube as this gave me some independent learning. After learning the steps of how to create a pie chart I was able to make them successfully.
- 7. UPLOADING DOCUMENTS ONTOMY BLOG USING SLIDESHARE AND GOOGLE DOCS… I had never used slideshare or google docs before the making of my product, this meant that I had to learn new skills such as; Creating an account Uploading documents Using the software embed code to post them onto my blog Without these sites I wouldn’t have been able to create a successful blog for others and myself to view.
- 8. USING THE INTERNET… Whencreating my product the internet played the most important role, this is because it allowed me to research into other music magazines and find out what the common conventions are and also get an idea of what magazines similar to my genre looked like. Furthermore, it also enabled me to use my blog and upload documents using different software’s like slideshare, google docs and YouTube. Without this technology, I wouldn’t have been able to make a successful media product.
