How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages
-
Using Blogger and Researching
We were given an email and password to where we would blog events relative to the process of making our products. Here we would update things like a plan as to where we would film and a time schedule. We also developed our ability to research different places and aspects related to our genre in the process of making our product. -
Using camera's and memory cards.
We learnt how to use memory cards and where to insert them in the camera. One of the memory cards was for audio and the other for visuals. We then learnt how to use these memory cards to process our footage onto a computer. This was important in the process of not only storing our footage but to organise the footage as well. -
Applications
We also used applications as a companion to Blogger. These were applications such as Timetoast, Prezi, Emaze, PhotoSnack, Animoto and many more. These applications were essential in organising our blogs. -
Social media
We used Social media applications like twitter and Instagram to keep our teachers posted about what was going on with our production, and the making of our product. This was also very influential in us developing our product as we could see where our product started off and how it ended up. -
Premier Pro
Premier pro was key in the making our music video. This was our key source for assembling the music video and putting everything together. There were various tools we learnt how to use, such as the snipping tool which allowed us to cut the clips up. We learnt how to add transitions as well to help our music video flow quicker which was relevant to the genre of our music video. -
The internet
In order to research our plan for our products we used various websites on the internet. These are websites such as Google, Youtube, Vevo and many more. We researched different products related to our genre in our music video and used different videos on youtube to do this. We also used google to help us find locations for our filming. -
Photoshop
I used photoshop to design my ancillary products and used various tutorials on youtube in the process of making them. I learnt how to crop out images and blend them with the background. I also learnt how to use different tools in photoshop such as the magnetic lasso tool and the magic wand. This helped me to make the audience wary of my synergy product.
