The document discusses various media technologies used in the construction of research planning and evaluation for a project. These include: - Photo shop for editing ancillary products and slides, learning skills like removing backgrounds. - Final Cut Pro for editing video clips and trailers, using tools like color correction and audio layers. - Celtex for scripting scenes and providing structure for filming. - Social media like Facebook for gathering audience feedback. - An iPhone 4s for recording videos and the voiceover, and uploading content. - YouTube for analyzing videos and embedding content. - A Nikon DSLR camera and 50mm lens for recording, which was challenging but improved skills. - SlideShare for presenting

1. How did you use media
technologies in the construction
of research planning and
evaluation?

2. Photo shop
I used photo shop for both of my ancillary products
and some of the text slides in my trailer. I had
already had some experience with photo shop from
AS however I wanted to improve on these skills for
my ancillary products I therefore watched you tube
tutorials and asked friends who had more
experience in it. Having done this I was able to
remove an image from its background to put it on a
plain white one and how to make an image
brighter. having learnt these skills I think I managed
to create a professional and polished ancillary
products.

4. Final cut
Final cut was used for my trailer it enabled me
to put together my clips in an order which
revealed part of what my film was about in
a conventional way. By learning how to use
the different told such as the blade tool to
cut longer peaces of film. The colour
corrector tool, to make a more sombre
atmosphere to the break up scene and a
lighter brighter atmosphere to those which
are seen as moor positive. As well as been
able to layer number of pieces of audio and
change levels to blend them in more.

8. Celtex
Celtex was used to create the script for the
trailer. This proved useful when planning out
the scenes for the story bored and which
scenes could be filmed on the same day. It
was also useful for my actors as they could
have a look over the script before filming
and know there lines rather than making it
up on the spot. Although I originally found
using celtex challenging i quickly came to
use it to create a script that made my filming
run more efficiently.

10. Social networking
I used facebook in order to
get feedback on my
final products, this
proved a great way of
doing this because I had
very little time to get my
audience feed back
and my target audience
could message it me
almost straight away. It
also meant that I could
ask more people than I
would have been able
to in person.

12. I phone 4s
I Used my I phone to record
videos for my audience
feedback this proved a really
great way on collecting some
of my audience research as I
could easily summarise the
reaction. This could then be
directly uploaded to you tube
via the app and put on my
blog all from my phone. This
was really efficient and easy as
there is a microphone on the
recorder . I also used my
phone to record the voiceover
to my trailer. Had I realised it
would have been this easy I
would have used it fro my
audience research.

14. Youtube
You tube was obviously useful for
analysing videos as I can easily embed
videos into my blog. This was fairly easy
to do. I also have a youtube app on
my phone which made it simple to
upload feed back videos

16. Wordle
I hadn't used wordle
but before but I
liked the idea of
presenting my
conventions in
image form it was
really easy to use
but really effective
and clear to see
rather than looking
at a number of blog
posts.

17. Nikon DSLR camera and 50 mm
lens
I has used a DSLR camera
before briefly to take
pictures for my as music
magazine however this
was the first time I had
recorded using one this
proved very challenging
changing the shutter
speed and ISO however
once I had been give
guidance I think I
managed really well. The
50 mm lens was also really
effective and made it
look really professional
and conventional.

lens

19. Slide Share
I usedslide share for the research, for presenting my
conventions of magazines. planning, by inserting
graphs i summarised the results of my audience feed
back and evaluation stages of my project I found it
a good way of presenting my information it was
basic and easy to embed into my blog.
