- 1. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
- 2. Starting Point When beginning our planning process for our trailer, we used a variety of new media to shape, construct and research typical conventions of teen dramas. Using YouTube videos we watched a variety of teaser trailers to study mise en scene and how particular music was used. Furthermore, using Mahara blogs we tracked our process and recorded starting ideas to help create an idea for our storyline. Using ‘Pearl and Dean’ helped with research regarding target audience and genre styles.
- 3. Creating The Trailer When actually creating the trailer, we used a variety of new media to produce and edit our clips. Software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Final Cut Pro. Creating the poster and magazine cover included Photoshop, a software used for photo editing, particularly helpful when moving and editing images. Final Cut Pro was used when editing our trailer videos, which we filmed on a Canon 80D camera. Final Cut pro was a relatively easy software to use, and allowed us to produce a successful trailer. However, our group didn’t have much experience using these software's, only knowledge from the previous year during AS. This meant we watched a wide variety of YouTube tutorials to educate us on how to use these software’s correctly.
- 5. Evaluation Overall, creating our trailer included a variety of new media techniques. When constructing researching and planning our teaser trailers software like Photoshop, Illustrator and Websites were used to create a well produced finished product. We also used real media technologies, including a microphone and canon 80D. All of these features helped shape our research and creativity. As well as a capturing storyline, we also wanted to ensure we kept the trailer aesthetically pleasing.
