1. How did you use media technologies in the
construction and research, planning and evaluation
stages?
2. Equipment used 1
The main piece of equipment I used
in creating the film was my own
camera. It is a Nikon D7200, and is
so easy to use. It is always in focus,
and shoots amazingly clean shots.
3. Equipment used 2
The second most important piece of
equipment was the microphone. I
used a Rode one. The sound that
came out of it, was unfortunately not
amazing but I believe it was also not
dreadful.
4. Equipment used 3
Another piece of equipment used
was the tripod. I borrowed a tripod
from college, and unfortunately it
also was not that amazing as I could
not let the camera stay on top of it,
as it would have fallen off.
5. Equipment used 4
The final piece of equipment I used
was two different types of computers
which were: a Mac desktop and Mac
Laptop. Whilst I was editing it was
extremely hard to bring the file over
from my laptop to the desktop.
6. All these media products were used to
come together to help me record, edit and
create my poster and magazine.
7. Websites used 1
One of the websites that I was
continuously using throughout the
year was Blogger. I used this website
to create blogs about my ongoing
creation of all my media products
over the year.
8. Websites used 2
Facebook was also a large factor in
two of my media products. I put up
my poster and magazine review onto
Facebook, and received reviews
which helped me see what people
liked and disliked about it.
9. Websites used 3
Another key website used was Celtx.
This website was used to help me
create my script. I could not
download the application as they
charged for it, so I used the website
to construct it.
10. Websites used 4
I used Youtube on two different
occasions. To place my film upon it
so that I could download it to my blog
and also at the beginning of the year
I researched different Drama short
films.
11. Websites used 5
I used Prezi to create an
Evaluation Question. It is so difficult
to use to it took me quite a long time
to create it.
12. Websites used 6
I also used Emaze to create an
Evaluation Question. But this website
was not that hard to use, so I got into
it quite easily.
13. Websites used 7
The final website I used was
DaFont.com. This is a website used
to find different types of fonts. I used
it in both my poster and magazine
review.
14. These media products came together to
help me create my script and got me
reviews for my poster and magazine.
15. Whilst creating my media products, I
encountered myself using many different
applications to help edit the photographs
and create my movie.
16. Applications for Editing 1
The main application on my laptop I
used was iMovie. It is extremely easy
to use, so therefore I used it to
create both my main media product
(my movie) and one of my evaluation
questions
17. Applications for Editing 2
I used Photoshop to create my
poster and it was very hard to use. I
had to keep on editing it, as it never
seemed to look right. To help me
understand how to use it I looked up
a tutorial on youtube.
18. Applications for Editing 3
Another application I used was
Indesign to create my magazine, and
it was not as hard as I was expecting
it to be. This meant that I created the
poster within 2 hours, which help me
allocate more time, on editing my
movie.
19. Applications for Editing 4
The final application I used was
Lightroom. This application helped
me brighten up the over all
photograph so you can now see the
main character better.
