How did you use media technologies in the

construction of research planning and evaluation?

Photo shop

I used photo shop for both of my ancillary products and some of the text slides in my trailer. I had already had some experience with photo shop from AS however I wanted to improve on these

skills for my ancillary products I therefore watched you tube tutorials and asked friends who had more experience in it. Having done this I was able to remove an image from its background to put it on a plain white one and how to make an

image brighter. having learnt these skills I think I managed to create a professional and polished

ancillary products.

Final cut

Final cut was used for my trailer it enabled me to put together my clips in an order which revealed part of what my film was about in a conventional way. By learning how to use the different told such as the

blade tool to cut longer peaces of film. The colour corrector tool, to make a more

sombre atmosphere to the break up scene and a lighter brighter atmosphere to those which are seen as moor positive. As well as been able to layer number of pieces of audio and change levels to blend them in

more.

Celtex

Celtex was used to create the script for the trailer. This proved useful when planning out the scenes for the story bored and

which scenes could be filmed on the same day. It was also useful for my actors as they could have a look over the script

before filming and know there lines rather than making it up on the spot. Although I originally found using celtex challenging i quickly came to use it to create a script

that made my filming run more efficiently.

Social networking I used facebook in order

to get feedback on my final products, this

proved a great way of doing this because I

had very little time to get my audience feed back and my target

audience could message it me almost straight away. It also

meant that I could ask more people than I

would have been able to in person.

I phone 4s I Used my I phone to record

videos for my audience feedback this proved a really great way on collecting some of my audience research as I could easily summarise the reaction. This could then be

directly uploaded to you tube via the app and put on my

blog all from my phone. This was really efficient and easy as there is a microphone on the recorder . I also used my

phone to record the voiceover to my trailer. Had I realised it would have been this easy I would have used it fro my

audience research.

Youtube

You tube was obviously useful for analysing videos as I can easily

embed videos into my blog. This was fairly easy to do. I also have a

youtube app on my phone which made it simple to upload feed back

videos

WordleI hadn't used wordle

but before but I liked the idea of presenting my conventions in

image form it was really easy to use but really effective

and clear to see rather than looking

at a number of blog posts.

Nikon DSLR camera and 50 mm lens

I has used a DSLR camera before briefly to take

pictures for my as music magazine however this was the first time I had recorded using one this proved very challenging

changing the shutter speed and ISO however

once I had been give guidance I think I

managed really well. The 50 mm lens was also really effective and made it look really professional and conventional.

Slide Share I used slide share for the research, for presenting my conventions of magazines. planning, by inserting graphs i summarised the results of my audience feed back and evaluation stages of my project I found it a good way of presenting my information it was basic and easy to embed into my blog.
