Different media technologies were used throughout all stages of the coursework unit. The research and planning stages involved technologies such as google search engine, google images, youtube, dafont and blogger. The search engine we used in the planning to research the genre of supernatural thriller we had chosen to base our productions around.
The Images branch of the website search engine google we used frequently to collect example images of posters and magazines front covers to analyse in our planning.
The well known world wide media site google we used alot to help with our planning and research stages to find example trialers to analyse an gain inspiration for our own productions.
We made use of the site dafont.com alot in the planning stages of our production in order to choose a genre related font that would create the right atmosphere for our trialer, poster and cover. Dafont had a wide variety of fonts what you are able to choose from and download for free.
Blogger obviously was used frequently throughout the production to post our planning and analysis keeping track of our progress throughout the production of the entire project.
Our planning process also made use of technologies such as digital cameras and camera phones to take our own images to compare settings etc..
Another technology we used was the scanner we used this to scan in our hand drawn plans for covers and posters.
In the production process more media technologies were used throughout. These were softwares such as Indesign, photoshop, serif movie plus 5, fireworks and paint. Indesign is a print editing programme that allows you to use different layers to create a product with a very proffessional finish, this is the same as the progremme fire works on a slightly different variaiton of the software, Indesign was used to create the magazine front cover and fireworks for the poster. Photoshop is a photo editing software that allowed us to change colours, contrast and backgrounds of the images we intended to use in our productions, this was used for both the print productions. Paint and Mircrosoft word were used for the more basic parts of the production e.g. we created the production logo in word and print screened it into paint to make it an image rather than a document. The software Serif Movie Plus 5 was our film editing software where we were able to add in transitions text and other editing techniques to produce a professinal production.
Hardware was also used in the production of our tasks this included the video camera we used to film our trailer and the digital camera we used to take the images for our poster and cover.
Finally our evaluation used tenchnologies such as blogger which was mentioned above which is the webpage I am using now to currently write my evaluation. Other methods have also been used, I have created image through print screening into paint to show examples in my evaluation, I have made spider diagrams created in word to help evaluate conventions in my poster and cover.
I aslo need to collect audience feedback we did this through the use of facebook, we used this to post our productions on and got people to comment, we did the same using youtube.
Good post. I think this is much easy question because we all use all of above media technologies to evaluate questions so it is easy to write on them.
