Evaluation Question 4

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




In the planning and research stages of our production, we used Google and Youtube to research on the product and the two ancillary tasks we had to create. Also in the research stage, we also used sites like Facebook and Twitter to send our friends links of our questionnaire's and other questions we wanted to ask there help on. These technologies were very useful as any teaser trailer I analyse on Youtube, I was able to embed the footage onto Blogger and so people who look at my blog could watch the trailer I had just watched and also have there own opinion on the trailer. Another reason why these technologies were helpful becuase it helped us spread the word about our product Seizer on major social networks. This sort of distribution is also used by major production companies as it is a fast way in spreading the news and gossip of new films.
In the construction stage of our product and ancillary task, we used iMovie and Adobe photoshop. These two softwares helped us in completing our tasks for this course. We had some difficulty in creating our poster and magazine cover and so we had to ask some people who had more information on how to create a poster and magazine cover. This is another time where Facebook and Twitter were helpful as we were able to ask friends on how to use Photoshop to help us in some circumstances to help us finish our ancillary task. In the construction stage, we wanted to create a sort of scooping shot, as we didn't trust iMovie to create this, we created this effect by ourselves using a rolled up piece of paper.


This is the shot we created by ourself using the technology we had.

In the evaluation stage, I used Google and iMovie. Google to search for images to help my evaluation look more attractive and iMovie was to edit together my directors chair interveiw.
