During the planning stages, the student used their smartphone for communication, research, and taking location photos. They browsed the internet, messaged group members, and used maps and street view to scout filming locations. During construction, they edited footage using Adobe Premiere Pro to organize shots into a timeline. They also used Photoshop to design ancillary materials like a magazine ad and CD cover, downloading fonts and templates to help with layout. For evaluation, the student continued blogging their progress and used SlideShare to insert PowerPoint presentations into their blog for additional multimedia content.

1. Q4 - How did you use media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages of your Advanced Portfolio.

7. I created an alternate home screen on my phone in order to have quick access to any tools I would need whilst producing our music video. I used these applications to communicate with my group members I used the phones music player to play the song for our performers to sing to. I used these applications to take location stills, record test clips and then view them on the phone. I used these applications to conduct research and update my progress on the music video. Polaris Office allowed me to view Microsoft Office files that I had produced on the computer. I used these applications to keep track of our shooting schedule and check weather conditions to see if they would be appropriate for filming.
