Evaluation 4: How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages

Research and Planning: (Blogger, Prezi, Excel, Internet, Word)

• Blogger was used for my second year again to keep a track of my teaser trailer, poster and magazine. Comparing to last year i knew straight away what i had to do on blogger so this year i have created more posts and extended the post with the relevant information needed. 

• Prezi was used to find out my target audience. Again i used    this last year and i found it useful as it was quick and easy to use and gave a clear indication of what audience it was targeted audience

Excel was used for my publication plan so i got myself sorted and knew what i was doing for my teaser trailer, magazine and poster. Again this was another software that was used last year so i understood straight away what was needed.

I used Word for questionnaires and for audience feedback for my magazine, poster and teaser trailer. This was easy to use and was able to get the right information across to get the right feedback

The internet was used to gather most of my information on magazines, trailers and posters. this helped me decide my actual products.

Construction ( SLR Camera's, Sony Camera's, Mini-DV Camcorders, iMovie, Garage Band, iShowU, Photoshop)


Imovie is a new software that was introduced to me this year. This was where we made our teaser trailer by adding sound, doing the cinematography and also the mise en scene if needed. this took a little bit longer as it was new to us and took a bit of time to get used to.

The camcorder used was for the whole footage for our trailer. This was now to us this year but using a camcorder before it didnt really take any time off our schedule.

 The SLR camera was used last year  so there was a good understanding and grew in confidence every time i used it. I used the camera to take photos for my Magazine and Poster.

GarageBand was also a new software that was used For the sound to be made. This had to be made ourselves and would have to be produced on garageband and making our own sound is difficult

Ishowu has been used for showing the moderator how certain things have been done and use it for my evaluation. this has been used before so it wasn't to bad to work 

Photoshop has been the main software used for my poster and magazine cover. you can edit, put images on and basically do anything you want to get the cover you want. this was still difficult to handle at first even though it was used last year as a lot more techniques had to be involved but was much easier knowing your way around the software
