2. Throughout our coursework, WordPress has been a massive part of it as this
is where we present all our work. We present our work through a blog format
where we can add pictures, videos, text and links. We have been able to
express our work on the blog and show our skills and technology.
It is relatively easy to use and it has allowed us to present work in different
ways to make out blog interesting and creative. We are also able to link
other software website links onto the blog which expands our ability of
creativity in present our work.

3. Final Cut Pro X is where we put together and design our adverts. We
have previously used this software in GCSE and AS level so we have
experience using it. This year we have found new skills and
techniques on the software which has helped us to transformed our
adverts to high quality real world adverts.

4. YouTube is used a lot within our production.YouTube is huge part of our
distribution for our advert. Having our adverts onYouTube has exposed them
to a wider audience and they can give them positive or negative feedback.
This helps us to learn and improve from other peoples opinions on our
adverts.
YouTube has also given us the ability to create our own content for example,
montages, equipment video and other things.
Gauntlett’s theory of 2.0 is a platform that allows us to connect to our target
audience and to a wider audience. Gauntlett states that because of 2.0, we
as an audience can become our own producer thanks to websites such as
YouTube where you can show footage of your own for free. Viewers also will
not have to pay to watch our adverts, which can lead to a big advantage not
having to pay of advertising slots e.g. on the TV.

5. Slideshare is very simple to use, as you produce a PowerPoint and
then download it onto the website and then your presentation can be
viewed over the internet very easily.
Slideshare allows you to be creative in imagery but it also allows you
to put a lot of information on in a form of text and still keep it
interesting for the audience reading it.

6. Prezi is slightly more challenging presentation software but it gets easier the
more experience you have on it. We have used Prezi through GCSE to A2
levels so we enjoy using this type of presentation as it allows you to be
creative and different. Every Prezi presentation is different so the audience
won’t get bored ready and watching them.
However, when putting a Prezi onto the blog, you have to put a screen shot
of the main page of your Prezi and then put a hyperlink just under the image
as Prezi doesn’t allow you to embed on our blog.

7. Powtoon is a very creative presentation software which allows you to
produce mini videos of images and text to present your work.You can
either follow a template which has already originally been done or
you can create your own.
Powtoon has allowed us to present our work alternatively and has
expanded our creativity side when it comes to the presentation of
our work.

8. Emaze is also another way of creativily presenting work. We really enjoy
using Emaze to present our work as it allows you to put imagery and text in
an alternative ways. It is a bit more of a advanced version of a
PowerPoint/Slideshare, as it allows you to put lots of information in it but it
keeps it interesting and creative.You follow templates which are full of
bright colours and you can change as much as you like to them to fit the
theme of what you are presenting.
However, when putting an Emaze on the blog, again you have to take an
screenshot of the main page of your presentation, upload the image onto
the blog and then put a hyperlink below the image to your presentation as
embedding does not work on this software onto our blog.
