How did you use media technologies in the2

How did you use media

technologies in the

construction and

research, planning and

evaluation stages?

- Construction of

the trailer, poster

and magazine cover

Photoshop

• This software is used for editing

photos to make them look

professional. I used this to create

and edit my poster, I was able to

use many different effects and

change the brightness to make my

poster look more authentic.

• I also made a movie title card for

my trailer. I did this by using the 3D

tool and different layers. By

following a tutorial online I found

this easy to make.

• I edited the images for my

magazine covers using photoshop,

making sure that they were edited

to a high standard.

InDesign

InDesign is another software that

allows you to edit photos and

construct media products such

as magazines and posters. This

is why I decided to make my film

magazine using InDesign.

I used a font called ‘Hitchcock’

for the writing and made the title

of the film red so it would stand

out.

I found this software easier to

use than Photoshop.

Premiere

Pro

This is a software that ables you

to edit videos at an industry

level. I found Premiere pro really

difficult to use at first and it

took some getting use to. I tried

out many different effects using

this software, for example the

colour correction on the dress.

This technique was relatively

straight forward. I also edited

text onto my clips to conform to

a film noir trailer.

I used youtube to upload different

versions of my trailer to show my

progression to the final trailer that I

created.

Edublogs

On my blog I kept record of my

progression, this also allowed people to

comment on what I needed to improve.

Other technologies

that I used

• Panasonic camera for filming

• Voice recorder

• School computers and my own

laptop

• Fuiji camera for the photoshoot
