Evalaution question 3
- 1. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
- 2. logger Blogger is a google app that is used document and produce content online and build social relations with their readers and other bloggers. I have used blogger to document the whole of my A2 level media coursework to help me keep up to date and explain about the work I am producing and how I am getting there. This is the first form of media technology that I have used on my project and probably the most important as I am able to show my evaluation stages.
- 3. YouTube YouTube has been a very helpful tool throughout my media project, this is because it has helped me to research different types of music video and really understand investigate the codes and conventions of house music which has helped me to make my own. Another thing I have been able to access is past students A2 level music videos. This was particularly important because I was able to understand what videos needed to include to gain good mark and also the things that should not be included because they do not work well. Lastly, YouTube has helped me with is uploading my finished product online so that other can view it and it can be submitted and put on to the blog.
- 4. IPhone messenger The IPhone messenger helped me and my media partner a lot in the planning process of making our video. We have been able to communicate with each other about meeting up for filming, planning places to film and making sure that we have all the stuff we need in order to shoot the video. Without having this messenger app we would not have been able to easily know when and where we were going to film.
- 5. emiere Pro This was a crucial part of technology which helped us with the construction of our video. On here we were able to edit all of the clips we took and transform them into a video. We both put a lot of time into this video and figured out how to use many special effects to make it stand out from other videos.
- 6. Lucidpress I used Lucidpress during the construction of both my Digi pack and my poster. This app was very easy to navigate around and enabled me to move pictures around easily, insert shapes, texts and also chose and change colours of the things needed.
- 7. Prezi Prezi is an application that allows you to creatively produce a slide share type document. This application helped me to present and evaluate my ideas about different types of media theories.
- 8. Photoshop Photoshop helped me when creating both my Digi pack and my poster, this is because I was able to easily edit the images taken from my video and subtly change things such as the colours of them so that they were perfect and linked into the colour scheme of my digipack and poster.
- 9. oogle Google was most probably the most commonly used technology for me throughout the whole of my A2 coursework. This is because it has the most amount of information readily available so that I could research, earn and understand many different things throughout the course such as theories, existing products and the codes and conventions.
- 10. Slideshare Similarly to Prezi, this is yet another way that I have decided to present and evaluate information for the blog. I used this publication so that I could be more creative with the ways that I present my work.
- 11. Wordle I used this publication to help transform all of the lyrics included in the song into a picture of the words that come up most throughout. This publication helped me a lot and was the best to use as it was a fast and accurate and helped me to pick out the feelings and meaning of the song so I could portray this in my final media piece.
- 12. Cannon DSLR camera This is the camera that we used to construct and film our music video. We thought that this would be the best option because the camera quality was a lot better than the quality of the iPhone and we was able to use this camera along with a tripod to help keep it steady and create different camera movements.
- 13. owerPoint PowerPoint has helped me a lot through this coursework because it has helped me show information, research and evaluate my work just like I am doing now before posting it on to Slideshare to show on my blog.
- 14. Overall we used a fast majority of different media technologies that helped us with the construction, research, planning and evaluation of our media work. Without all of these media technologies it would not have been possible for us to create the video that we did.
