1. How did you use media technologies
in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages?
Part two.

2. Publisher.

3. Publisher.
I used publisher to help create my own
personal green preview screen. After doing
some research I decided to make my own
green preview screen so I could put my own
personal touch on it. For example I have
advertised my own blog at the bottom and
put ‘for more information on ratings’ which
is a post I have on my blog.
I have also used publisher to analyse film
magazines and posters. I used publisher
because it is easy layout to analyse my
research. Using publisher was also good
because when I was ready to upload the
content up to my blog I just had to change
the file to a jpeg.

4. Powerpoint and Slide share.

5. Powerpoint and slide share.
I have used powerpoint to help me complete my evaluation questions. I chose to use
power point because it is a well presented and organised software to use. It also allowed
me to annotate any of my print screens I needed to. To upload my powerpoint I used a
software called slide share where I had to make my own account. Once the powerpoint
is uploaded to slideshare I can place the link in a new post and place it on my blog for
people to see.

6. Photoshop.

7. Photoshop.
I used photoshop to design my first
magazine design and my film poster design.
I have had previous experience using this
software and therefore felt confident using
it. I felt that photoshop was more helpful
with my film poster as I had a lot of layers. It
also allowed me to adjust the photo that I
was on the poster. Before I edited the
picture I had a coloured picture but after I
had a black and white version. This helped
the poster fit in with the film’s theme. The
software also allowed me to adjust the
colours of the font which also allowed the
poster to fit in with the theme. I have also
put my poster I design on bus stops so I
could advertise my film.

8. In Design

9. In design.
After getting feed back from my target
audience from the medi@chs website I
decided to do a new version of my film
magazine. This time I decided to do it on a
different software called In Design. This
allowed me to choose a existing magazine
and use the layout to make my magazine
look more professional. I did this by drawing
boxes around the layout out of the Empire
magazine which covered the Harry Potter
film. The only thing I didn’t like about In
Design is that there wasn’t a range of colours
I could use however I am happy with the
ones I have used on my film magazine.

10. Audacity.

11. Audacity.
I also used the software audacity. I used audacity to record the
voice over to add in my trailer. I had a problem using this
software as the microphone wouldn’t work on my computer
therefore I had to change computers. Once I had recorded the
narration I was able to import it into Premire Pro and edit it and
place the recording in the right places.

12. After Effects.

13. After Effects.
I used after effects to create my ident. This was a
good software to use as I could follow tutorials on
youtube to help me design my own ident.
Here is my actors name. I also designed this on
after effects. This is a simple effect as I just
added in a fade.
Here is my trailer name. I had to download the
font from Dafont website and place it in. I also
designed this on after effects. This is a simple
effect as I just added in a fade.

clips.

i.e. turned my My workspace
clips to black where I dragged my

16. Premire Pro.
Once I had dragged my clips
into the workspace I was able
to place them in the right
order and start cutting little
scenes out. This also meant
that my shots could flick
from one to another.
This box allowed me to upload my clips , ident,
music and my file from audicity. After that I just
needed to drag them in to my work place area.
Here is where I changed my clips from colour to
black and white. I did this by reducing the
saturation.
I also used Premire Pro in question 3 of my evaluation.
