This document discusses the use of various media technologies in planning, constructing, and evaluating a media project. It describes using blogs, YouTube, and Skype for research and planning stages. Filming utilized POV shots, match cuts, and more experimental shots. Editing integrated music, transitions, titles, and special effects across multiple programs. Ancillary tasks included photography and Photoshop. Feedback was gathered through recorded discussions, shared videos, and audio software. Overall, a wide range of technologies were experimented with, skills grew significantly, and digital media contributed greatly to completing the project, though some opportunities were missed due to inexperience.

- 1. Media Technologies in my A2 How did I use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
- 2. Introduction Planning and Research Filming Editing Ancillary Tasks Feedback
- 3. Research Youtube Convenience Professional and Example Pieces Music Blogs Tumblr Communication Filmed Meetings
- 4. Research & Blogs Why was the blog so vital? Accumulation of evidence Easy to refer back to Access to all our blogs so we could compare our research
- 5. Were we successful? Yes Good amount of research Good use of combining research together No Social Networking could have been used more strongly
- 6. Planning Powerpoint – Slideshare Skype Facebook Photography Audacity Adobe Illustrator
- 8. Planning & Blogs Accumulating Evidence Visual References A platform to build off A central hub
- 9. Were we successful? Yes We used multiple platforms of media to express and record our ideas and plans We communicated well in this section We had a broad range of media to refer to when making the trailer No Missed Opportunities – Skype Later in the project we narrowed our planning
- 10. Construction - Filming New shots – freedom of a trailer POV Shot Reverse Shot Match-on-action First Scene –traditional Later shots – More experimental. Dialogue
- 11. Construction - Blogs Blogs were vital during this stage Uploading independent clips for group review Uploading every draft for analysis and comparison
- 12. Did our skills develop? Yes We used shots which were more experimental with confidence. We adapted shots like the match-on action shot and developed them. We had a more varied project thanks to new shots
- 13. Editing Rhythmic Editing Edited the music through Audacity Cut the clips to the music – created a flowing pace Transitions & Titles Used to blend contrasting clips Used to create a time-lapse scene Use of both iMovie and Windows Movie Maker Voice-Overs/Soundtrack Multiple characters – fit with clips Two soundtracks blended with Audacity
- 14. Editing – Special Effects CCTV Shot Developed twice Layered over the clips Added professionalism and variation to our work
- 15. Did our skills develop? Yes Our editing became cross-platform, taking in the best of multiple programs. We developed special effects to a level we had never attempted.
- 16. Ancillary Tasks Use of photography Multiple takes Allowed us to develop photography skills Photoshop A new skill to learn Two different pieces
- 17. Were we successful? Yes We created two original pieces. We developed our photography skills to the point where we could take pictures which were appropriate No We were hampered by a lack of experience
- 18. Audience Feedback Recorded Discussion with peers and teachers Allowed easy references back at a later stage Video of students – Youtube Allowed us to share easily with the group Mumble feedback from peers Allowed specific feedback from a multitude of peers. Superior audio quality
- 19. Conclusion Used a wide variety of technology, experimenting with new ideas and using technology in new ways. We also learnt a great deal and our skills in utilizing digital technology grew significantly. However, we were hampered by a lack of experience and a few missed opportunities. Overall, despite these difficulties, we effectively used digital technology in all stages of our work and their use contributed massively to the completion of the project.
