1. How did you use media technologies
in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages?
Evaluation.
2. Throughout the course of my project I have used a variety of
different technologies and programs to display my ability and
to experiment with my creativity.
By using different technologies and programs it gave me the
chance to show my research and planning in a variety of
different ways.
3. Filming Equipment.
For the construction of my trailer i used a
portable Panasonic camcorder, this piece of
equipment was provided to me by Chenderit
media department. The camera I used had
fairly good quality, and allowed me to be
versatile and got all the shots I needed doe
successfully. Being a small hand held camera
made it easy to manoeuvre about. I also found
that this camera had a good crisp quality
when filming the close ups of characters faces.
It also recorded the sound to a good quality.
4. Final Cut.
This software was also used for the construction of
my trailer. I used it to edit and piece together my
trailer. By using this programme I was able to add
visual effects such as filters to my trailer to give it
a more horror feel to it but also it enabled me to
change the order in which I filmed scenes, which
makes it seem more like a trailer. I could also
create cuts which created a jumpy feel to it
which is what I wanted.
5. Youtube.
Youtube had a great impact in the research part
of my project. I used it to research other
examples of existing trailer which were
created by both professionals and students. By
watching others it gave me a first hand
experience and influence on what i would
wish to similarly create.
6. Slideshare.
Slideshare is a website that has really helped me
during my coursework. I used it to display
information especially throughout my editing
stage; showing on each slide how I gradually
got to my end product. The website was really
straight forward to use and by uploading
PowerPoint's to it and then embedding them
onto my blog it gave variation to my blog
rather than just showing information in blocks
of writing.
7. Prezi.
Prezi is a website which I used to create a
creative interactive spider diagram. It is a very
simple website to use once I had a few
practises, and is also very effective. I think that
prezi was a great tool to use to show in-depth
information in my researching stages.
8. Photoshop.
Using Photoshop was a great tool to use, as it is
a photo editing programme it meant that i
could use tools such as resize, crop and colour
adjusting on the digital photos I had taken to
help create a professional look, but to also
achieve the creative qualities I wanted. The
software enabled me to enhance the effects I
had made with the makeup i had done on my
characters making them fit more into my
chosen genre.
9. Social Networking.
Social media and networking sites played a large
part in my project as it gave me the chance to
expose my work and to gain audience
feedback through sites such as;
facebook, flickr and instagram. By opening my
work up to many people it meant that i could
get a variety of feedback from a mixture of
people which helped me to improve my work
and get the best possible outcomes.
