Millie England used new media technologies at various stages of her short film project. She used a blog to keep people updated on the group's progress and research. YouTube was used for genre research and to eventually post the finished film. Google Forms allowed the group to create and receive feedback from a questionnaire. Photoshop was utilized to design the film poster. Audio was recorded using a Zoom recorder and edited in Premier Pro, including adding sound effects and music to create a radio trailer. Throughout the project, the group learned skills like film editing, poster design, and creating audio promotions using various software programs.

1. Question 4
Millie England

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

3. Blogger
Blogger keeps people up to date with the things we have done. It also shows the research
taken place in order for us to create our short film. We each have our own blog posts as well
as group posts showing who has done what between the four of us and what we have worked
together on. It is a really good way to put across our ideas and inform people bits about our
genre choice and the ideas behind our creation.

4. Internet
YouTube
I use YouTube for research into genre like examples of films it is also something
we can put our film onto for people to watch.
Google Forms
we used Google Forms to create our Questionnaire this allows us to receive
feedback on not only our film and what they think of it but also people
understanding of our chosen genre.

5. Photoshop
We used Photoshop to create our film poster, this
programme was really helpful as you could work
with different layers and lock them down to keep
and get rid of backgrounds you no longer want,
using certain tools provided.

6. Zoom recorder/ Premier Pro
The Zoom recorder is a hand held digital audio recorder which we used to record out radio trailer.
The zoom recorder was useful, it records sounds in very high definition helping our trailer more
clear to understand and sound more professional when putting it together. We edited it on
premier pro and layered sounds from our film throughout.
We used Adobe Premier Pro we used this for editing to put our film together and make it appear
more professional and clean cut. The programme was incredible straight forward to use and gave
options to layer footage with sound effects and music. We also used this to make our radio trailer,
it allowed us to work with film as well as it did audio.

7. What we learnt
Throughout this year we have learnt how to edit a film, put together a poster and
make it look professional we have also learnt how to create a radio trailer from
using a voice recorder and Premier Pro. Throughout the year we had to use the
internet for a source of research on the genre of our film, music, costume. Before
we started to make any of it. We had to create a survey in order to get the public
feedback on our production what they think of the name the storyline ect.
