2. Evaluation question 4
How did you use media technologies
in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages?

3. Camera
We used a digital camera with a memory
disk in it, to record the footage we needed
in order to create a trailer. I also used a
camera when doing the preliminary
tasks(stop frame animations and practise
soap trailer). The memory disk helped us
because the upload from it is very
quick, whereas if we had used a tape
camera it would have taken as long as the
footage was to upload it.

4. iMovie
iMovie was the editing software which I
used to create my main product and
practise soap trailer. It is easy to use –
cropping footage, changing sound
levels, overlaying sound and adding such
things as slow – motion.
Many parts of my trailer include slow-
motion, and all of the clips were cropped
down so that they matched the beats of
the music.
iTunes is part of the same iMac software
are make it easy to transfer things from
one to another. I had to do this when I
was importing music.

5. Keynote
I used Keynote to create title cards for the
soap trailer, keynote is very similar to
Microsoft PowerPoint, it is used to create
slideshows but slides can be exported as JPEGs
so they can be used on other programs.
Using Keynote I was able to change
background colours font types and colours.

6. Social media
Our class used twitter to I used it to give my teacher the
communicate with the teacher link to my soap trailer rough cuts
for information about our work. and final product on YouTube.
Twitter was very useful to me because it
allowed me to easily communicate with
my teacher when out of college and also
post links to my product.

7. Social media
I uploaded my soap trailer rough cuts and finished product to
YouTube. This enables other people to watch it, the potential
for feedback and allowed me to embed the video onto my
blog, with YouTube I could share my
work on Twitter.

8. Social media
I also used YouTube for research, I watched things such a Dallas and
Eastenders. I then upload some clips of what I had watched to blog to
show my research and it allowed me to not have to search for them
again of YouTube.

9. Blogger
Blogger is a website that allows you to upload videos, slideshows and
text. I uploaded my research, planning, stages of development with my
soap trailer, my ancillaries and evaluation. It is very easy to use and I
could also follow other peoples blogs, I followed the blogs of the people
in my group so that we could share all of the work that we had done.

10. PowerPoint and Slideshare
I used PowerPoint to create my
evaluation as I could put text and
images on the slides, I was in control
of the colours and fonts.
To upload my evaluation to my blog I used
Slideshare, a website which converts
PowerPoint's into a format which works on the
internet
