JOHN CARPENTER’S ‘THE WARD’
THE NARRATIVE OF ‘THE WARD’ IS SIMILAR TO WHAT WE WERE AIMING FOR OUR
FILM TO BE ABOUT. THE WARD IS A STORY BASED ON A WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN
LOCKED IN A MENTAL INSTITUTE. THE MAIN INFLUENCE OF THE WARD WAS THE
WAY IN WHICH THE NARRATIVE WAS CONSTRUCTED. THERE IS A TWIST IN THE FILM
WHICH IS SOMETHING HANNAH AND I WERE KEEN TO HAVE IN OURS TOO. THERE IS
A SENSE OF CONFUSION THROUGHOUT THE FILM HOWEVER EVERYTHING
BECOMES CLEAR WHEN ALL IS REVEALED AT THE END OF THE FILM. THE ONLY
PROBLEM POSED BY FEATURING A MASSIVE TWIST WAS THE WAY IN WHICH WE
WOULD INCORPORATE IT INTO OUR TRAILER AND TO STILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
SOME SORT OF CLARITY TO THE VIEWERS.
TRAILER INFLUENCES
THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE
THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE IS BASED ON REAL LIFE EVENTS WHICH IS SOMETHING
WHICH I FELT WAS A GOOD THING TO INCLUDE IN A HORROR FILM. THE FACT THAT THE
AUDIENCE HAVE A KNOWLEDGE THAT THE EVENTS IN THE FILM ARE BASED ON SOMETHING
WHICH HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN REALITY. THE NARRATIVE WAS THE MAIN THING
ABOUT THIS FILM WHICH INFLUENCED ME. I ALSO LOOKED AT OTHER FILMS WHICH WERE
BASED ON REAL EVENTS AND DID A BLOG POST ON WHAT THE STORY WAS ABOUT AND
HOW THEY MAY INFLUENCE ME.
Here is a link to my blog which shows a further analysis of
‘The Ward’

1.IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE,
DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND
CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?

TRAILER INFLUENCES
IDENTITY
THE MAIN PLOT OF THIS FILM IS BASED UPON MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES. THIS IS A VERY
SIMILAR BASIS TO THE PLOT AS TO WHAT WE HAVE USED FOR OUR TRAILER, THIS FILM
FEATURES THE TRADITIONAL TWIST IN A HORROR FILM. THERE ARE STRANGE GOINGS ON
THROUGHOUT THE FILM AND THEN ALL IS REVEALED TOWARDS THE END. THIS IS
SOMETHING WHICH I FEEL WE WANTED TO ACHIEVE WHEN CREATING OUR TRAILER AND
OUR IDEAS REALLY MATCHED THE TRADITIONAL HORROR/THRILLER CODES AND
CONVENTIONS.
THE CONJURING
THIS FILM IS ABOUT A SUPERNATURAL PRESENCE HAUNTING A FAMILY WHICH IS NOT
SIMILAR TO OUR FILM IN ANY WAY APART FROM THE FACT THAT IT IS PART OF THE
HORROR GENRE ALSO. WE TOOK LOCATION INSPIRATION FROM THIS FILM HOWEVER. IT IS
LOCATED IN A LARGE HOME WHICH MAKES MUCH MORE OF AN EERIE ATMOSPHERE. THE
NARRATIVE HAS BEEN THE MAIN INFLUENCE OF ALL OF THE OTHER FILMS WHICH WE
LOOKED AT FOR OUR RESEARCH INTO SIMILAR PRODUCTS HOWEVER THERE WERE
CAMERA ANGLES AND SHOTS IN ‘THE CONJURING’ WHICH INSPIRED US AND WE ADAPTED
THESE TO USE IN OUR TRAILER.

WE TOOK A LOT OF INSPIRATION FROM THE FILM
‘THE CALL’. MANY OF THE SHOTS WE USED HAD
CAME FROM IDEAS WE HAD AFTER WATCHING THE
TRAILER. FIRSTLY THE SHOT OF OUR MAIN
CHARACTER BY THE PHONE WAS INSPIRED BY
THE SHOTS CONNECTED BELOW. MANY OF THE
SHOTS WE HAVE USED ARE NOT EXACTLY THE
SAME AS THE ONES FROM ‘THE CALL’ HOWEVER
THEY ARE SIMILAR IDEAS WHICH HAVE BEEN
ADAPTED.
‘THE CALL’ TRAILER
1.IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT
USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND
THIS SHOT OF SAM IN THE DOORWAY IS
VERY ALIKE TO THE ONE IN THE CALL.
THE LIGHTING IS VERY LOW KEY. I
LIKED THE WAY IN WHICH THE IDENTITY
OF THE CHARACTER IN THE SHOT IS A
MYSTERY. ALL OF THE SHOTS WHICH
SHOW A RESEMBLENCE ARE
CONSCIOUS DECISIONS WHICH HANNAH
AND I HAVE MADE.
THE ABOVE SHOT IS AN OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT,
BELOW IS A SHOT FROM OUR TRAILER. WE ATTEMPTED
AN OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT FROM THE MALE’S
POINT OF VIEW HOEVER IS DIDN’T LOOK AS EFFECTIVE
AS SEEING BOTH CHARACTERS AT THE SAME TIME

MOVIE POSTER INFLUENCES
ALTHOUGH THIS POSTER IS FOR A TV SERIES AND
NOT A MOVIE I DREW QUITE A LOT OF INSPIRATION
FROM IT WHEN PLANNING IDEAS FOR MY OWN
MOVIE POSTER. I LIKED THE WAY THE FOCUS WAS
ON THE CHARACTERS FACE WITH HANDS OF AN
UNKNOWN PERSON ON THE FACE/MOUTH.. THE
FACT THAT THE PERSON WHO THE HANDS BELONG
TO IS NOT IDENTIFIED MEANS THAT THERE IS A
SENSE OF MYSTERY. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A
REALLY GOOD IDEA FOR A MOVIE POSTER AS IT
WOULD PUT QUESTIONS INTO THE AUDIENCE’S
HEADS AND THEREFORE MAKE THEM WANT TO
WATCH THE TV SERIES (IN MY CASE THE MOVIE). IN
RELATION TO THE FONTS ON THIS POSTER THERE
WAS NOT MUCH WHICH I TOOK INSPIRATION FROM.
THE LAYOUT WASN’T SOMETHING WHICH I
PARTICULARLY LIKED AND. THE COLOUR SCHEME
HOWEVER IS DARK AND MAINLY GREYS AND
BLACKS WHICH WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING
WHICH MY POSTER WAS GOING TO HAVE.

MOVIE POSTER INFLUENCES
SEEING AS OUR TRAILER IS A TEASER TRAILER I LOOKED AT
SOME TEASER POSTERS. THIS ‘CARRIE’ POSTER ONLY
FEATURES AN IMAGE AND TAG LINE. I THOUGHT THAT THIS
WAS QUITE EFFECTIVE HOWEVER IT WAS NOT SOMETHING
WHICH I WANTED TO DO. THE COLOUR HAS BEEN DRAINED
FROM THE ACTRESSES FACE WHICH I FELT LOOKED REALLY
EFFECTIVE. THE BLOOD IS STILL BRIGHT RED WHEREAS THE
MAJORITY OF THE POSTER IS IN PALE, DRAINED OUT
COLOURS. I LIKED THE CONTRAST HOWEVER I KNEW THAT I
WANTED MY POSTER TO BE BLACK AND WHITE OR GRAY
SCALE. I TOOK INSPIRATION FROM THE DARK EYES AND
DIRECT ADDRESS USED IN THIS POSTER.

MAGAZINE COVER INFLUENCES
I LOOKED AT EMPIRE,TOTAL FILM AND
LITTLE WHITE LIES MAGAZINE COVERS AND
DECIDED THAT I WANTED TO USE LITTLE
WHITE LIES AS IT WAS MORE OF AN EDGY
COMPANY WHO WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO
FEATURE INDEPENDENT FILMS ON THEIR
COVER.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTH EMPIRE
AND TOTAL FILM IN COMPARISON TO LITTLE
WHITE LIES IS HOW MUCH THE COVERS HAVE
GOING ON. LITTLE WHITE LIES DOES NOT
HAVE ANY COVER LINES AND IS VERY
SIMPLISTIC HOWEVER THE OTHER TWO
BOTH HAVE A LOT OF COVER LINES AND
OTHER FOCUSES APART FROM THE MAIN

I PARTICULARLY LIKED THIS LWL MAGAZINE COVER. THE
WAY IN WHICH THE PIECES OF THE COVER HAVE BEEN PUT
TOGETHER. THE MAGAZINE COVER IS NOT ONE WHOLE
WHICH I THINK LOOKS QUITE EFFECTIVE. I LIKE THE WAY IN
WHICH EACH PART OF THE COVER HAS BEEN EDITED A
DIFFERENT COLOUR. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT HAND
SIDE I CROPPED MY IMAGES IN ORDER TO SEE IF THEY
WOULD FIT TOGETHER IN A SIMILAR SORT OF WAY.
I FOUND THAT WHEN I TRIED TO PUT DIFFERENT PARTS OF
AM IMAGE TOGETHER IT DID NOT LOOK PROFESSIONAL AT
ALL. THE REASON WHY I TRIED TO CREATE ONE IMAGE
FROM SMALLER SECTIONS IS BECAUSE I WANTED THERE
TO BE A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN MY MOVIE POSTER
(A STRAIGHT UP IMAGE OF THE GIRL).
THIS LITTLE WHITE LIES COVER IS A PERFECT REPRESENTATION OF WHAT
OUR FILM IS ABOUT. HOWEVER USING THE PROGRAMMES I AM USING I DID
NOT EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO CREATE ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THIS.

WHEN LOOKING INTO LITTLE WHITE LIES COVERS I
REALISED IT WAS HARD TO FIND ONES WHICH
FEATURED HORROR FILMS. THE ONES WHICH I
LOOKED AT SUCH AS THIS ONE I ATTEMPTED TO
INTERPRET HOWEVER IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS FILM IS
GORY DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD ON THE GIRLS
FACE. HOWEVER OUR TRAILER IS NOT GOING TO
FEATURE ANY BLOOD OR GORE SO I TRIED TO USE
THE CARTOON EFFECTS OF THE COVER TO INSPIRE
ME.
THIS IS ONE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
HANNAH AND I TOOK TO USE FOR OUR
POSTERS AND MAGAZINE COVER.
I USED AN EDITING WEBSITE TO TRY AND
MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A LITTLE WHITE LIES
COVER.
THE COVER OF LITTLE WHITE LIES IS
PURELY THE GIRL AND HER HAIR TAKES UP
THE REST OF THE PAGE. HOWEVER THE
IMAGES WHICH WE HAVE TAKEN WOULD
NOT WORK IN THIS WAY WHEN CROPPED
SO THIS IS WHEN I TRIED SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.

GENRE CONVENTIONS
http://caitlinchandra.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/researc
h-and-planning_26.html
My analysis of genres on my blog:
THE TRAILER WE HAVE CREATED IS PART OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER/ HORROR
GENRE.
TYPICAL FEATURES OF THIS GENRE ARE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND I HAVE TICKED AND
CROSSED THE COLUMNS ADJACENT TO THEM TO INDICATE WHICH CONVENTIONS WE HAVE
FEATURED IN OUR TRAILER.
CONVENTION USED IN OUR TRAILER (✓) NOT USED IN OUR TRAILER (X)
A VULNERABLE FEMALE
CHARACTER
✓
MADNESS/PARANOIA ✓
A MALE VILLAIN ✓
ISOLATION ✓
DARK LIGHTING ✓
DEEP/EERIE SOUNDS ✓
ABANDONED SETTING X

BBFC RATING
WHAT WOULD YOU FIND IN A 15?
• STRONG VIOLENCE
• FREQUENT STRONG LANGUAGE (EG F****)
• PORTRAYALS OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY
• STRONG VERBAL REFERENCES TO SEX
• SEXUAL NUDITY
• BRIEF SCENES OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE OR VERBAL REFERENCES TO
SEXUAL VIOLENCE
• DISCRIMINATORY LANGUAGE/BEHAVIOUR
• DRUG TAKING
WHAT WOULD YOU FIND IN AN 18?
• VERY STRONG VIOLENCE
• FREQUENT STRONG LANGUAGE (EG ‘F****’) VERY STRONG
LANGUAGE (EG ‘C***’)
• STRONG PORTRAYALS OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY
• SCENES OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE
• STRONG HORROR
• STRONG BLOOD AND GORE
• REAL SEX (IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES)
• DISCRIMINATORY LANGUAGE AND BEHAVIOUR
AFTER RESEARCHING THE CONTENT FOUND IN BOTH
15 AND 18 FILMS WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING
TO USE A 15 RATING. ALTHOUGH OUR FILM IS IN THE
HORROR GENRE WE DIDN’T THINK THAT THERE WAS
ANY BLOOD ORGORE AT ALL AND THERE WAS NO
SEXUAL SCENES OR VIOLENCE WHICH WOULD MEAN
THAT OUR FILM WOULD HAVE TO BE AN 18 RATING.
THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR OUR FILM IS 15 AND
OVER DUE TO THE SHOCKING CONTENT WHICH MAY
PUT SOME VIEWERS ON EDGE. WE DECIDED WE
WANTED TO AIM OUR FILM AT AN OLDER AUDIENCE
AS THE PLOT IS QUITE COMPLEX.

2.HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF
YOUR MAIN PRODUCT AND ANCILLARY
TEXTS?
THE BRANDING OF ‘TORMENTED’
I FEELAS THOUGH THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN BOTH OF MY ANCILLARY TEXTS. BOTH THE MAGAZINE COVER
AND MOVIE POSTER FEATURE THE MAIN CHARACTER. IN BOTH, THE GIRLS EYES ARE DARK AND THERE IS USE OF
DIRECT ADDRESS IN BOTH. THE FONTS USED ARE NOT THE SAME AND THEY ARE NOT THE SAME COLOUR HOWEVER
THERE IS A SENSE OF SIMILARITY DUE TO USE OF ONLY BLACK AND WHITE. THE REASON WHY I USED PHOTOS WHICH
FEATURE THE MAIN FEMALE ROLE IS BECAUSE I FELT AS IF IT BRINGS A SENSE OF BRANDING TO MY PRODUCT.
THE LITTLE WHITE LIES COVER IS VERY DIFFERENTAS IT HAS BEEN EDITED AND CHANGED A LOT. IN BOTH IMAGES THE
GIRLS EYES ARE DARK AND LOOKING STRAIGHT INTO THE CAMERA WHICH BRINGS BACK THE BRANDING BETWEEN THE
PRODUCTS.
I HAVE USED THE SAME HOUSE STYLE FOR MY MOVIE POSTER AN TRAILER HOWEVER I HAVE SWITCHED THE COLOURS
AROUND.
ALL OF LITTLE WHITE LIES COVERS ARE NEVER COMPLETELY THE SAME AS THE FILMS INITIAL BRANDING AS THEY AIM
TO BE DIFFERENTAND ALSO FEATURE ADAPTIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS OF FILMS ON THEIR COVERS RATHER THAN
THE STRAIGHT UP IMAGE.

2.HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF
YOUR MAIN PRODUCT AND ANCILLARY
TEXTS?
THE BRANDING OF ‘TORMENTED’
WHEN CREATING THE TRAILER WE DECIDED TO
USE ‘ANNA PURNA PICTURES’. ANNA PURNAAIM
TO PRODUCE FILMS WHICH MAY BE DEEMED
AS RISKY BY BIG HOLLYWOOD COMPANIES
SUCH AS UNIVERSAL OR PARAMOUNT. ANNA
PURNA BEING AN INDEPENDENT MEANS THAT
IT WORKS WELL WITH THE ANCILLARY
MAGAZINE COVER FOR LITTLE WHITE LIES.
LITTLE WHITE LIES COVERS FEATURE
INDEPENDENT MOVIES MOSTLY AND IT IS
HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT YOU WILL SEE A
UNIVERAL FILM FOR EXAMPLE ON A LWL
COVER AS THEIR TARGETAUDIENCE IS A NICHE
MARKET RATHER THAN MASS.
LAWLESS FOR EXAMPLE IS AN ANNA PURNA
PRODUCED FILM WHICH HAS BEEN FEATURED
ON AN LWL COVER.

3.WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT FROM YOUR
AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?
I USED SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM TWITTER TO RECEIVE AUDIENCE FEEDBACK ON MY
MEDIA PRODUCTS. I FOUND THAT TWITTER WAS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO RECEIVE
FEEDBACK AS IT IS QUICK AND EASY. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF POSTING A TWEET I
WOULD RECEIVE A RESPONSE BASED ON A PERSON’S OPINION. I WOULD USE THE
PERSON’S RESPONSE WHO SEEMED MOST FIT TO OUR TARGETAUDIENCE.
I USED PINTEREST TO PIN CERTAIN IMAGES, DRAFTS, FILM NAMES ETC. THIS ENABLED
ME TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WERE EFFECTIVE OR NOT BASED UPON HOW
MANY ‘LIKES’ THEY GOT.
SURVEY MONKEY IS AN EASY TO USE PROGRAMME. IT ENABLED ME TO DEVISE A
SHORT IN DETAIL QUESTIONNAIRE TO RECEIVE ANSWERS WHICH WOULD LET ME
CREATE A VERY EFFECTIVE MOVIE TRAILER WHICH MATCHED THE TARGETAUDIENCE.

http://caitlinchandra.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/vhh.html
http://caitlinchandra.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/planning.html
ON MY BLOG THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES OF WHERE I HAVE USED TWITTER TO
RECEIVE AUDIENCE FEEDBACK.

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?
I asked for feedback on twitter when I had created my first draft
template of both my magazine cover and my movie poster. Both
responses said that they liked the style of the font. Throughout
the drafting and research process I realised that LWL and many
horror now use minimalistic fonts. The font I had used looked
very dated in comparison so that is why I didn’t stick with what
the feedback told me.

4.HOW DID YOU USE MEDIA
TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONTRUCTION,
RESEARCH, PLANNING AND EVALUATION
STAGES?
BLOGGER HAS BEEN USEFULAND MY NUMBER 1 PLATFORM WHICH I HAVE
USED TO TRACK ALL OF THE RESEARCH, PLANNING AND DRAFTING OF MY
PRODUCTS, ANCILLARY AND MAIN. IT IS USEFULAS IT IS AN INCENTIVE TO
MANAGE MY TIME WELL (DATED BLOG POSTS). BLOGGER IS COMPLETELY
ONLINE WHICH MEANS IT IS A LOT EASIER AND MORE ORGANIZED THAN
HAVING A PROJECT KEPT ON PAPER.. THE PROS OF USING BLOGGER
CLEARLY OUTWEIGH THE CONS. THE DOWNFALLS HAVE NOT EFFECTED ME
DRASTICALLY IN MY PROJECT.
BENEFITS OF BLOGGER
-EASY TO USE
-ORGANIZED (EASY TO SEE PROGRESS)
-CAN EASILY USE PICTURES, GIFS,
VIDEOS
-WORK AUTOMATICALLY BACKED UP
DOWNFALLS OF BLOGGER
-ONCE A POST IS MADE THE DATE
CANNOT BE CHANGED
-DESIGN OPTIONS GIVEN ARE LIMITED

STAGES?
YOUTUBE HAS BEEN A VITAL
PART OF MY REASEARCH AS I
HAVE USED IT TO LOOK AT
TRAILERS IN THE SAME GENRE.
YOUTUBE IS EASY TO USE AND
HAS ALMOST ANYTHING YOU
ARE LOOKING FOR WHICH
MEANS THAT RESEARCH INTO
SIMILAR PRODUCTS WAS MADE
EASY FOR ME.
FREESOUND.ORG HAS BEEN A
PARTICULARLY USEFUL
WEBSITE. THE SOUNDS ON THIS
WEBSITE HAVE BEEN PERFECT
FOR MY TRAILER, THERE IS AN
EASY SEARCH TOOL WHICH
ALLOWS YOU TO LOOK FOR ANY
TYPE OF SOUND.
DOWNLOADING THE SOUNDS
DID NOT PROVE DIFFICULT.

DAFONT IS A VERY EASILY
ACCESSIBLE FONT WEBSITE WHICH
HAS A WIDE ARRAY OF DIFFERENT
FONTS. I USED THIS DURING THE
WHOLE PROJECT HOWEVER I
TENDED TO ‘SCREENHUNT’ THE
FONTS DURING THE
DRAFTING/PLANNING PROCESS
HOWEVER WHEN I WAS CREATING
THE FINAL VERSIONS OF MY
ANCILLARY PRODUCTS I
DOWNLOADED THE FONTS ONTO THE
COMPUTER WHICH MEANT THEY
WERE OF A MUCH BETTER QUALITY.

FONT TYPES FOR FILM TITLE
AND TAGLINE ON THE BLOG

STAGES?
THESE ARE ALL OF THE EDITING WEBSITES WHICH I HAVE USED. I USED KUSOCARTOON MAINLY IN DRAFTING AND
PLANNING TO TEST OUT CERTAIN EFFECTS AND WHETHER THEY LOOKED EFFECTIVE OR NOT. THE MAIN TWO
EDITING SITES I USED ARE BEFUNKYAND FOTOR. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A WIDE RANGE OF EFFECTS ON BOTH
SITES.
I USED PAGE PLUS IN THE CREATION OF MY ANCILLARY PRODUCTS, I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROGRAMME
BECAUSE I USED IT AT AS LEVEL HOWEVER THERE WERE MANY NEW FEATURES I DISCOVERED DURING THE A2
PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE ‘PHOTO LAB’ IS AN IN-PROGRAMME PHOTO EDITOR WHICH MEANT ONCE I HAD INPUTTED
AN IMAGE I COULD ADD FURTHER EFFECTS AND REFINE THE PICTURE WHILST IT WAS IN THE PROGRAMME. I WAS
FAMILIAR WITH ‘CUT STUDIO’AND THIS ALLOWED ME TO REMOVE THE WHITE BACKGROUND FROM THE FONTS I
SCREEN GRABBED FROM DAFONT. HOWEVER THE QUALITY WAS NOT GREAT SO I THEN DECIDED TO DOWNLOAD
THE ACTUAL FONTS AND THEY AUTOMATICALLY WHERE AVAILABLE IN PAGE PLUS. I CREATED A MAGAZINE COVER
TEMPLATE AND A MOVIE POSTER TEMPLATE ON PAGE PLUS SO THAT DURING DRAFTING AND PLANNING ANY
DRAFTS I MADE COULD BE THE SAME SIZE AND SHAPE.
MOVIE PLUS IS THE PROGRAMME HANNAH AND I USED TO PUT TOGETHER OUR TRAILER. THIS PROGRAMME
ALLOWS YOU TO EASILY CUT, SLOW DOWN, SPEED UP AND PUT FILM CLIPS TOGETHER. EDITING THE SOUND
ON MOVIE PLUS WAS PROBABLY THE THING WHICH I FOUND MOST DIFFICULT HOWEVER ONCE I GOT TO GRIPS
WITH IT, IT BECAME A LOT EASIER. THERE ARE VARIOUS LAYERS FOR BOTH CLIPS AND SOUNDS WHICH MEANS
YOU CAN MUTE OUT CERTAIN PARTS AND ADD OTHER SOUNDS IN.

STAGES?
I HAVE USED MICROSOFT POWERPOINT TO DO MY EVALUATION. I FELT THAT IT
WAS EASIER TO USE THAN PREZI. I AM FAMILIAR WITH POWERPOINT WHICH
MEAN IT WAS A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO ORGANIZE MY WORK. POWERPOINT
ALLOWED ME TO USE LINKS AND IMAGES AT EASE.
THE ORGANIZATION OF SLIDES I EASY AND YOU CAN RE-ARRANGE THEM
WITHOUT HASSLE. SHAPES AND FONTS ARE AVAILABLE WHICH MEANS AM ABLE
TO MAKE THE POWERPOINT EASILY READABLE WITH A MIX OF LINKS,
PICTURES AND ICONS.

STAGES?
A2AS
SKILLS WHICH I LEARNT FROM MY AS
PROJECT HAVE TRANSFERRED TO MY
A2. MY PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS HAVE
PROGRESSED SLIGHTLY AS I WAS A
LOT MORE AWARE OF POSITIONING
AND LIGHTING. I USED PAGE PLUS AT
BOTH AS AND A2 AND FEEL AS
THOUGH I HAD AN ADVANTAGE WHEN
STARTING A2 AS I WAS ALREADY
FAMILIAR WITH THE PROGRAMME.
A2 WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN SOME WAYS AS MY
MAIN PRODUCT WAS MOVING IMAGE. I DON’T FEEL AS
THOUGH IT WAS A STRUGGLE GETTING TO GRIPS WITH
MOVING IMAGE AS MOVIE PLUS, ALIKE TO PAGE PLUS, IS
VERY EASY TO NAVIGATE AND USE.
THE RESEARCH PROCESS DURING A2 WAS A LOT
EASIER AS I KNEW HOW TO PICK OUT CONVENTIONS OF
PRODUCTS AND HOW TO APPEAL TO A CERTAIN
AUDIENCE DUE TO WORK AT AS.
