Evalution question number 4
- 1. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? By Okechi Ezerakalu
- 2. When planning and research I used a lot of different programs
- 3. Research The internet was critical for my research, without it research would have been really difficult, I used internet explorer and safari, the main reason why I switched between the two is when one of them stops working I would use the other. To find trailers of the same genre which I as focusing on I went on YouTube and Google As I enjoying watching horror films I had a little idea on what to search for on YouTube so I simply clicked on the website and clicked on what I want As I wanted a wide range of horror trailer I went on Google to search for what meet my specific needs. When I was not near a computer I used my mobile phone to access the internet, this allowed me to do research even when I was on the go.
- 4. Planning and research I used Microsoft word to construct my questionnaire for the my audience research. After I had given out my questionnaire and collect the data I used Microsoft excel to convert the date into graphs, bars charts and pie charts. I have had previous experience with Microsoft excel so constructing the charts was fairly easy to create. I also used Microsoft word to complete the risk assessment sheet and my edit decision list
- 5. Mobile phones, IMac and laptops Mobile phones helped me to organized with my actors a suitable time for us to film. I also used my mobile phone during the filming stage, the reason for this was to take pictures of us filming which I then sent to Imac at school via email. When I was at home and I wanted to do research and make notes of that research I used my laptop. I would use YouTube and Google to do research on my chosen genre.
- 6. Construction Panasonic camera (NV-GS500)- this the camera that I used to film the footage that I was going to use for my trailer. Along with the camera I used a tripod to get my footage as steady as possible. When I was finished filming I used a USB to upload the footage from the camera to my school IMac because that where final cut pro is installed which I needed to edit.
- 7. Editing- Final cut pro After the footage had been filmed I then upload the footage onto final cut pro where I can edit my footage into the sequence that I want.
- 8. Final cut pro This is the timeline, where you can view footage you have editing on the top right screen. This allows you have choose the clip you want to edit, to add effects and text. These screens are where you can view the changes that you have made on the timeline.
- 10. Garageband This where you can choose instruments that the sounds will be based on. This is where you drag the sounds that want and place them, its in a timeline format This is where you can edit the sounds that you have on your timeline This is where you can choose specific sounds that you want.

The questions were: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? What have you learned from your audience feedback? How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
