Eval part 3 media
- 1. How did you use new media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
- 2. Programs used when researching and planning I used blogger to upload all of my work, it also allowed my lecturer to have access to it and grade it easily. I found it easier to use than printing everything off, also I could link to things from there Survey Monkey has allowed me to gain audience feedback easily, and fast, it also means that I didn’t have to print off numerous pages to hand out to people, I could also review the feedback with charts and graphs instead of creating my own. Prezi has allowed me to create interesting mind maps and show how I am going to work with ease. It has an interactive interface which is also good for showing presentations. YouTube has helped me upload my work which is in video form, also I could find clips to analyse and look at to get ideas for my work.
- 3. Microsoft Office has made it easy to create PowerPoint's and also write essays, it also allowed me to write my script, and deconstructions. Adobe Creative Cloud There are a number of programs I have used in the adobe creative cloud, including, After Effects, Premier Pro and Photoshop. I created my poster on Photoshop, and created my trailer and practice trailers on premier pro. I edited in gun shots with After Effects
- 4. Hardware Used The main piece of hardware I used was a Mac, it is great for editing photographs and has a quick and smooth interface. The only problems I encountered was the mac loosing data, but I think this is more of the colleges server problems than the computer its self. To film I used a Canon EOS 60D, it is a really good camera, but I couldn’t film in high quality otherwise it would only film for 10 seconds, and I needed to film parts which were several minutes long. I also took photos for my poster with this camera, It is an 18 megapixel camera, so made really good quality images.
- 5. How I have progressed I have used a wider range of programs from last year and I think this has worked to my advantage, I could do more work in different ways and make it more visually appealing. I also am more confident using these platforms compared to last year as I have more experience in them.
- 6. Conclusion Altogether I used a wide range of technologies to create my work, mostly revolving around the internet, it made research and uploading really easy and was a much more effective way to do it than by hand on paper, or printing it out. I think that I could have used a wider range of technologies if I wanted to, but the amount that I have used has worked really well.
