Question 4
1. How did you use media
technologies in the construction
and research, planning and
evaluation stages?
2. Emaze
• Emaze was my primary alternative to software
such as power point. As a presentation
software it is useful and easy to use.
• The presentation software allowed me to
develop my skills on a computer but
sometimes became frustrating due to the
options and settings.
3. Prezi
• I used Prezi to collect my research and
organise it on my blog. The software is easy to
use and has a professional finish to it. The
themes enabled to me to have some variety in
my work.
4. InDesign
• We used InDesign to construct our double
page spread. This software offers a
professional layout as it gives construction
lines that mean everything is in line.
• The software enabled us to insert our copy
into columns easily and replicate real life
double page spread conventions.
5. Premier
• We used this software to edit our
documentary, it was initially difficult to use as
its functions are complicated and confusing.
However we did a workshop with the
technician and it became easier.
6. Word
• You cant go wrong with word, simple,
efficient, reliable and easy to use. The basic
for presenting all pieces of work. For some of
the more difficult software's I used word to
write down my idea’s initially before pasting
them into the alternative software. Word is
good because it spell and grammar checks
your work whilst also easy to read and assess.
7. Powtoon
• This was the most fun of the software’s as it
really allowed me to be more creative in the
idea’s and the way I presented them. From
sound effects to the wide variety of themes it
really made it more creative. I chose this when
the content was not as heavy and I chose to
use more creative techniques.
8. Blogger
• We used blogger to track the planning and
research process of the coursework. All of our
work remained organised and we could see what
needed to be done. Having used this software in
AS we were all able to use it easily.
• One of the more time consuming elements to
blogger is the changing of times and dates in
order to order your work properly. But this
consequently lead me to developing my time
keeping skills and getting all my work done on
time.
9. SoundCloud
• Sound cloud was very long winded to use in
order to voice my opinion. I thought it would
work well as an alternative as I was actually
able to physically voice my work this made it
more direct and easily explainable to the
listener. The downside to it was that the
account making process was long and
temperamental.
10. Sribd
• Scribd was used as an accessory to word for
my blog, being unable to just type straight
onto the blog this broke down that barrier.
Making it easily presentable on blogger the
word documents could be displayed quickly.
The major downside to it was changing and
embedding links sometimes became confusing
and didn’t work, also having to adjust the link
to make the scribd fit was not easy and caused
frustration.
11. • My main problem was getting all my work
onto blogger as I had difficulties with things
such as embedding.
