Marina Osbourne used new media technologies throughout the research, planning, construction, and evaluation of her A2 media product. During research and planning, she used Final Cut Pro X to edit research videos and YouTube to find inspiration. For construction, Final Cut Pro X and Photoshop CS6 were used to edit her horror trailer and design magazine/poster visuals. In evaluation, Prezi, Slideshare, Skype, YouTube, and Stupeflix allowed her to create interactive presentations and upload videos to thoroughly explain her media products.

1. Question 3) How did you use new
media technologies in the
research/planning, construction
and evaluation stages?
By Marina Osbourne

2. • I used a variety of different types of media in order to construct and plan my A2
media product. This was used when doing my research and planning, as well as
constructing my media product.

3. Research and Planning
When doing my research and planning, using new media technologies had enabled
me to produce high quality research when planning for my horror trailer, magazine
and poster. For example, the use of the green room when filming my trailer analysis
video. Doing this, I was able to edit images and clips in the background to showcase
my research using Final Cut Pro X.
YouTube was also helpful in my research and planning as it allowed me to understand
current trailers and use them to my advantage to inspire me for my media product.
This was also used to upload my work to be view in high quality.

4. Construction
Final Cut Pro X was a huge part of my construction of my final products. It allowed me
to edit my trailer to make it to the industry standards. I was able to edit sound, add
special effects i.e. filters which helped create a bigger impact in my trailer.
Photoshop CS6 made my magazine front cover and poster have high quality. This
helped me create the scary images on both my front cover and poster. This added to
create a visually better front cover and poster to entice my audience.
YouTube was used again in order to upload an d share my horror trailer in high
definition.

5. Evaluation
With the use of websites such as Prezi and Slideshare, I was able to make more
interactive and high standard presentations. I could answer the evaluation questions
in a more creative way using images etc.
I also used a Skype to create my presentation which allowed me to thoroughly explain
my media products. YouTube was used once again to upload my presentation so the
public could view it.
Stupeflix allowed me to make a short video to present my answer efficiently, whilst
making it interesting to watch.
