New media technologies played an important role in the planning, production, and evaluation stages of the project. YouTube was used for researching film trailers and uploading the created trailer to gather feedback. Photoshop allowed for separating figures from backgrounds in magazine covers, downloading fonts, and designing posters and magazines. Editing was done in Adobe Premiere, which enabled adding non-diegetic sound, editing audio, and color correcting footage to create a more authentic horror trailer.

1. Question 4- evaluation
How did I use new media technologies in the construction and research,
planning and evaluation stages?

2. Internet + youtube
• Planning was done using the internet, mostly on YouTube, founded in
2005, February 14th, the platform has 300 hours of video uploaded
every minute , so as you can imagine there is plenty of film trailers to
research, it also allowed us to upload our trailer and embed it, thus
making it very easy to get feedback and embed our trailer to the blog.
• Imdb.com also provided easy insight into movies also

3. Photoshop
• Photoshop allowed me to use the magic wand tool in production for
my magazine cover to separate the person from the background,
making them pop out past the masthead

4. Photoshop part 2
• Photoshop allowed me to download new fonts, to implement into my
poster and magazine, the “deadwood” logo/title I used was
downloaded from the internet. Without the synergy of the two I
could not have the classic horror font I wanted.
• Both my poster and magazine was made in photoshop, for my poster I
rasterized type on everything to make sure I can change and move
the text to make the most compact poster I could, other features such
as a black and white mask also allowed us to do what I did.
It also allowed me to do basic things, such as editing photos for the
location scouting (basic cropping and colour correction)

5. Editing
• Editing was done in adobe premier, this allowed us to create non
diegetic sound, such as music. Edit audio, (removing basic background
noise, and dubbing) colour correction (some scenes had the colour
enhanced with colour grading removing some colour for almost black
and white like shots) All of these allowed us to make a more authentic
horror trailer, more loyal to the genre.
