The document discusses the various media technologies used during the construction, research, planning, and evaluation stages of a media project. InDesign was used to design a poster and magazine cover for its professional layout capabilities. Photoshop was utilized to edit photos by removing imperfections and adjusting settings like exposure. A Canon HD camera filmed all trailer shots from a tripod for steady footage, and studio lights helped remove shadows from actor photos and add tension with colored gels during void filming. Final Cut Pro provided advanced editing to combine footage, transitions, and text into a polished trailer.

1. HOW DID YOU USE MEDIA
TE CHNOL OGIE S IN THE CONSTRUCTION
AND RE SE ARCH, PL ANNING AND
E VALUATION STAGE S?
Question 4

2. INTRO
 We used many different media technologies in the construction
and research, planning and evaluation stages.
 In the construction and research, planning and evaluation of our
media product I used media technologies such as InDesign,
Photoshop, cannon HD camera, studio lights and cannon 1D camera.

3. INDESIGN
 I used in design for the construction of my poster and magazine front
cover.
 I think this program helped me get the highest quality products as it
allows you to go into more smaller details and give a professional result.
 I found was also much easier to use and apply what you want on the
page than other programs I have used in the past to do such products
such as pages and Photoshop.

4. PHOTOSHOP
 I used this program to edit my pictures that would be on my poster
and magazine front cover.
 It was simple to use once you go the hang of it and allowed me to
change aspects of the photos I didn’t like or to improve the.
 For example I used the spot healing brush to remove anything on the
picture I didn't’t like, such as imperfections, spots flyaway hairs etc.
 I also used Photoshop to change the settings of the photo such as
white balance, exposure, add or remove shadows and many others.

5. CANNON HD CAMERA
 This camera was used for filming all shots in the trailer
 We used this camera by putting it on a tripod to keep it steady
during filming.
 The camera is HD which allowed us to get high definition footage,
we could also change the settings on the camera to get a better shot
such as white balance and ISO which allows more light in and makes
the picture less pixelated.

6. STUDIO LIGHTS
 I used studio lights in the studio whilst I was taking pictures of the
actor to remove any shadows from the photographs.
 I also used the lights to create shadows on the actors faces to show
evil/ darkness to reinforce the idea that the trailer is a horror film.
 We used colored gels to change the colors of the lights whilst filming
in the Void this allowed us to create tension in our shots by having deep
colors and hues adding to the feeling the audience gets when they see the
void.

7. FINAL CUT PRO
 I used final cut pro to digitally edit and cut my final pieces of
footage into one to create my trailer.
 I found it quite difficult to use but gave better more professional
finishes than IMovie that I trued to use.
 It allowed me to cut my footage to what I needed and to add
transitions and text to make all my footage come together smoothly.
