SlideShare - Q4
- 1. How Did You Use Media Technologies In The Construction, Research, Planning & Evaluation Stages? Saad Khan
- 2. Research Researching trailers and posters I had gotten help off the internet, using websites such as YouTube, Google and other search engines such as Yahoo and Bing. I had used Google to search for researching on what genre I should use and the contents that I need to take into consideration. YouTube was used for the purpose of getting ideas on how I need to create my trailer and what possibilities I can place into my trailer. My Device – using my phone I also had the availablity of the internet. This only came in use if I had no access to any other internet outlets, this again helped me in deciding what I need to include on my magazine front cover, trailer poster and trailer itself. Using my phone I had the same accessability as I would had on a normal PC or Mac. YouTube and Google was again used to search for ideas on what I could include in my three media products.
- 3. Research & Planning Blogger was used by our entire class whilst in the process of the creation of our media products. I kept track of what I needed to do as well as uploading pictures of the Recce and write up of my storyboard and script. I had blogged almost every step and every Ideas I had thought of, to use for future ideas. Blogger was used almost like a diary, to keep track of what needed to be done as well as what has been done, the blogger helped me keep track of I had to do, and when I needed to do it. It also allows me to upload pictures and any other ideas. Target audience, schedule shooting and questionnaires are only some of th documents uploaded onto the blogger, to show what I had done, in terms of planning, during the creation of my media products.
- 4. Software's Using software's such as Microsoft Office and PowerPoint I was able to come up with my questionnaires. Coming up with questions to ask was written up in Microsoft as it was easy and available on almost every computer outlet available to me. Microsoft PowerPoint was used to create bars and graphs, to show my responses I had received from my questionnaires, this allows me to put into a clear picture of what my audience thinks about my trailer poster, magazine front cover and trailer itself. Microsoft Word was also used to create my script. My script was planned and written up in Microsoft because of it being easy and accessible from anywhere.
- 5. Construction To do the filming, we were provided with the Panasonic Camera. This camera would allow me to record in bulk or in stages. Along with the camera was a tripod, to hold in place the camera whilst it was recording. The camera also allowed me to upload clips easily onto the software I had decided to use to create my trailer, Adobe Premier, from which the video clips were used and put together to create the trailer. Still cameras were also used to take pictures for the magazine front cover and trailer poster, a Panasonic still camera was provided to my by my teacher. The camera also allowed me to upload pictures straight from the device to the software I had chosen to use, Adobe Illustrator.
- 6. Editing I had used Adobe Premier to create my trailer. This is because the software provides you with a timeline to manage your clips as well as separate sections on managing audio and video. Adobe Premier was suitable for my clips both long and short. Adobe is also compatible with Apple Macs, which was the main outlet of the creation of my three media products. It was easy and quick to use as well as being simple. Adobe Photoshop was also used in the creation of my cover and trailer cover to cut out bits and to add effect. Once effects were added I had used Adobe illustrator to put my items together for it to form my magazine front cover and trailer poster.
- 7. Adobe Premier Pro CS6
- 10. Audience Feedback I had used social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to gain feedback on people opinions of my movie trailer. Facebook allowed me to share my video to everyone on my friends list, and required the people to click the “like” button if they had liked it. People were also able to leave comments on what they personally think about the trailer. Twitter allowed me to tweet my video to everyone on my friends list. Similar to Facebook, people had easy access to watching the video and were urged to leave their comment and opinions on what I need to keep and what improvements I need to make.
- 11. Evaluation – Slide share/PowerPoint To finalize my coursework, I had used PowerPoint and slide share to map out a visual presentation on what I have been doing over the course of the year, what videos, Ideas and software's I had to used to construct my complete coursework. Both PowerPoint and Slide share were easy to use and simple to upload seeing as their functions are basic and easy to read and understand.
