The document discusses how various new media technologies were used at different stages of a project. Slideshare was used to gain information and upload files to a blog. Eblogger was used to organize work in chronological order. Final Cut Pro was used to edit footage and add effects to create a teaser trailer. Sound Track Pro was used to create the soundtrack by editing songs. Google was used for research and finding similar films and resources.

1. Question 4 :How did you use new
media technologies in the
construction and research, planning
and evaluation stages?

2. Slideshare
I used slideshare to help us gain information on
what Chick flick conventions were. I also used
slideshare in order to upload powerpoint and
pdf files to our blog. It was much more concise
and organised than just writing paragraphs of
text every time we blogged.

3. Eblogger
• Eblogger was one of my favourite websites we
used, it made all our work look concise and
organised. I loved how you can show
progression throughout your work by it being
in chronological order. I had no problems
using the site as it was easy to use

4. Final Cut Pro
• Final cut pro is where we edited all our footage into a
teaser trailer, it was really good for adding post
production affects. It enabled myself to change scene
order, background noise and the general sequence of
the trailer. The programme had some really useful
features such as a flash image to convey the school
photo introduction, without this feature we would have
not been able to portray the introduction clearly. The
only problems I encountered with final cut pro was
media files going offline, however after re-uploading the
footage it did not become a problem.

5. Sound Track Pro
• I used sound track pro to make our sound
track to our trailer, it was really hard to choose
from lots of the songs provided. After
choosing our tune, we then changed it by
adding in different beats, and changing the
tempo. I had no problems using sound track
pro, it was easy to use.

6. Google
• I used Google to find appropriate images for
our research, to find similar chick flick films
and to help find resources to aid our trailer.
