QUESTION 4

4) How did you use media technologies in construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

When researching and planning I used many different programmes such as:

  • Blogger
  • www.google.co.uk
  • www.wikipedia.co.uk
  • www.imdb.co.uk
  • www.youtube.com
  • www.prezi.com
  • Microsoft office - word and PowerPoint
  • www.slideshare.net
In the planning and research stages I wrote down all my findings/ideas onto my blog which is set up on www.blogger.com I used blogger as if it was my 'media diary' updating it with a new post whenever I got inspiration or had completed some research. I used www.google.co.uk as my main search engine to look up certain things about the thriller genre. www.imdb.co.uk was my main search engine when it came to actual film research and directors but whatever I couldn't find on there information wise I went on www.wikipedia.co.uk and what ever trailer or movie clip I couldn't find on www.imdb.co.uk or www.wikipedia.co.uk I found on youtube.com.
For a lot of presentations i used a website called www.prezi.com. This is a free website that allows you to make formal presentations look more visually appealing which I think is a key tool for presentations so you don't get bored half way through they keep your interest/focus 100%. I also used Microsoft PowerPoint  and uploaded them onto my blog via slide share, PowerPoint I found better than www.prezi.com for some things for example if I had a lot of content to write in PowerPoint was the more appropriate choice.
For my audience feedback I hand wrote the questions and just wrote down their responses for no technology was used in this process. 
I also used Windows movie maker to edit a stop frame section together this was experimental so I did not feel as though it had to be done with a professional standard editing programme. 

I used my samsung galaxy s2 to take some location shots and also to contact my friend to see when I could borrow his camera etc. I used my home computer to blog and edit when I wasn't near the college computers. 

During the construction process I used my friends camera which is a Sony A37,  the editing software I used Sony Vegas 12 to produce my film. To edit my photos for my film with Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended which is one of the 
I used www.blogger.com again to post my evaluation questions. I also used www.slideshare.net also.
I posted my final product- Film trailer onto www.youtube.com I chose to post it onto www.youtube.com as it means you can access it quickly and easily it is also a free website that has a very high amount of users so is also a way of promoting my film more.
