2. Software I used
• To make sure I created my Ancillary tasks and my main product I needed to look
into many forms of multimedia and ways to create, these are the methods which I
utilized.
• Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0
• iMovie
• Slide share
• You tube
• Action Movie FX (App for iPhone)
• Camera
• Microphone

3. Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0
• Adobe Photoshop Elements is a downgraded and simplified version of the
ever so popular Adobe CS series.
• For me this was utilized for the planning and construction of my task, it
was used to create the magazine front cover and poster for my ancillary
tasks, Doing these tasks in Elements proved to be very effective as PS
Elements is a very strong image manipulation application.
• Using Photoshop also proved to be good for creating effects in my text and
giving it an original look and appeal.

5. iMovie
• iMovie Is seen as Apple’s general software for movie creation and
manipulation, it is very popular and comes with any MacBook or iMac,
there is also mobile versions of this application.
• I used iMovie for the construction and evaluation stages of my project,
this is the application which proved to be very useful for when it come to
editing and when I was doing voiceovers as there is a button which can be
utilized to do that. The software proved to be very reliable and rarely ever
crashed, although one problem which I faced was when importing a lot of
content it found a way to become slow and take a while to respond to
keyboard and mouse inputs. Above all that I was very happy and pleased
with what I was able to produce in iMovie and it has given my trailer a
very professional aspect.

7. Action Movie FX
• Action movie FX Is an app which can be downloaded on iPhones, this was
an app which proved to be very helpful in adding special effects to my
trailer.
• I used this app to add a car rolling out of the sky and into the camera at
the end of my trailer, this proved to be very effective as when it was
combined with the the actors motion and them reacting to it when it all
was put together it gave the general thought that a car had actually began
to fall out of the sky.
• Because of this the general look and appeal of my trailer was increased
and it looks even more professional and it gives the trailer a strongpoint
about it and a scene which people would rewind back to.

9. YouTube
• YouTube is a website which people can upload
and share videos to the world.
• I made use of YouTube by using it to upload my videos to there so they
could be embed into my word press blog, this was very helpful as it would
only take a few minutes to upload it and it was very effective to use, all of
my construction and evaluations have been done through YouTube.

can upload there power point presentations
and PDF files too.
• I made use of Slideshare so I could upload my presentations to word press
so I could give them a more professional look and appeal, this was done
very effectively through the use of Slideshare.
