New Media
Technologies
When I was doing my
practical media project, I used
variety of new media
technologies such as Adobe
photo shop, final cut pro and
YouTube.
These technologies greatly
benefited my studies and
allowed me to further
develop and enhance my
magazine front cover, horror
poster and horror trailer.
When undertaking my A2 Media Studies practical project, I
was able to develop on the techniques that I had learnt in
AS where I created an opening to a thriller film, I also used
a different website hosting service to record information
about my horror production.
In my AS Media studies practical project, I
used Weebly to record my progress with my
research and planning, evaluation,
construction and preliminary task of my
media products and in A2 I did the same. The
advancement of new media technologies
allowed me to use Weebly which I believe
works efficiently.
Research and
planning
Whilst undertaking research and
planning for my A2 practical
project, the use of new media
technologies greatly benefited my
ability to produce tasks.
For instance, in the research and
planning stages of my practical
project, I used a green screen to
complete my trailer analysis.
With the use of the green screen,
it enabled me to to go into
deeper depth and expand upon
points buy using evidence that
appeared behind me. New media
technologies such as green screen
were a of great benefit to my
studies as I was able to use the
technologies to go into deeper
depth.
For my research and planning I also used new media
technologies such as YouTube. YouTube was greatly beneficial in
the research and planning section as it allowed me to gain
inspiration by viewing other horror trailers. YouTube also
enabled me to research the film trailers that I analyzed in my
trailer analysis in the green screen room.
Construction
During the construction stages of my practical project,
new media technologies were incredibly useful in aiding
me to create my horror trailer, horror poster and
magazine front cover.
When creating my horror trailer, again new media technologies such as
cameras, editing soft ware and YouTube greatly benefited the way I was
able to produce my horror trailer.
New media technologies such as cameras allowed me to film my trailer
at the back of the hall.
When editing my trailer, I found that the soft ware final cut pro was very
useful in cutting and editing my trailer and also it was easy for me to
add effects and music as well. The editing soft ware enabled me to edit
my horror trailer to make it have more of an impact with my target
audience.
YouTube again here, was very beneficial during and after the production
process of my horror trailer. At first I gained inspiration from previous
horror production as mentioned before, however, I was also able to
upload my final horror trailer so that it could be accessed from my
Weebly blog.
When creating my magazine front
cover and horror poster, new media
technologies such as cameras and
Adobe Photoshop allowed me to
create and edit.
For example when creating my horror
magazine front cover, I used Adobe
Photoshop to add the blood splatter
onto the face mask on antagonists
face.
In my theatrical poster I used a
camera to shoot the raw image of the
hand. I used photo shop to add the
blood effect and make it look more
realistic.
Evaluation
At the stage of my evaluation for practical project, I used
a variety of new media technologies such as green
screens, Prezi, SlideShare, StupeFlix and YouTube
I used new media technologies such as Prezi and SlideShare to upload
presentations to my blog. These allowed to answer the evaluation
question in greater depth as I was able to elaborate on certain points
with the use of images and embedded videos.
As well as Prezi, SlideShare and StupeFlix I
also used green screen in order to discuss one
of my evaluation questions which, allowed me
to go into greater detail and elaborate on
certain points with images and videos that
appeared behind me.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I believe that using new media technologies in my
A2 practical project was greatly beneficial as it allowed me to use
new and innovative methods od displaying information.
