Evaluation Question 4

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research,

planning and evaluation stages?

From starting from scratch at the beginning to towards the end when I have finished my final products. I have used a lot of different software and types of media technologies to make this final outcome happen. To start this all off I signed into blogger.com this is where all of my work is going for the examiner to mark it. This is where I started off by putting down class notes at the beginning on different types of research.

Secondly we used YouTube to help us research on professional horror trailers and horror music. Also this helped at the end when we put the film trailer on to youtube so we could put this on our

blog.

After some research we did a grid of 9 this was hard to upload to blogger.com and we used a website called scribd.com which is where you can upload posts of documents and put them on to our blog.

Once I did a lot of research on movie trailers on Google and YouTube I started doing the practical

work. This is started filming with a camera and a tripod. We used a Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 this is a video camera which is HD this is a very good camera. Also we used a very standard tripod which I have used for a long time

.

Once we finished the filming I took pictures to evidence the location of the film set. I took this with a Canon 500d Slr camera which is also a very good 15 megapixel camera. I also took pictures with this for the promotional work for both the film poster and the film magazine cover.

After we finished taking pictures and filming we uploaded the movie clips on to a Apple iMacbook pro. This is where we was going to edit our film on. We uploaded the movie clips by using a USB lead and saving them on to the harddrive.

After this we used software called Adobe Premiere Pro Cs4 which is an editing software, this is where we edited our film for our film piece.

Once we finished this we used Adobe Encore to transfer our finished product onto a cd for the examiners to mark.

We finished the editing and now we moved the pictures from my Canon 500d to the Apple iMacbook Pro. Once we did this we opened Photoshop elements 5 which we used to edit both the promo packs. To help edit our photoshop files too we managed to find fonts on www.dafont.com which is a font website which helped us find a good font for our final products.

Once we finished this all we uploaded the video to YouTube, and we uploaded the magazine cover and the film poster both up on the blog so we could analyse what we did step by step and what we had included on this. I also managed to upload my blog onto my facebook so I could promote this so friends of mine can see what I have done say they could comment on this.
