The document discusses various media technologies used to construct, plan, and evaluate a project. It describes using Blogger to present evidence in chronological order and embed videos from YouTube and Slideshare. Facebook was used for audience feedback and reviewing music preferences of friends. Final Cut Pro was used to edit videos together, though had issues with syncing at times. Sony HD cameras captured high quality footage for the green screen and narratives, while MPEG Streamclip helped convert footage for use in Final Cut Pro.

4. This is an example of Slideshare, it is a simple but effective
way of presenting our work. The top image shows the
process. Once we have uploaded the file an embed code
will appear and paste it into blogger and the bottom right
image shows the outcome transferring the word document
to a slideshare document which it able to be presented on
blogger.

5. WE USED YOUTUBE TO DOWNLOAD VIDEOS TO BLOGGER FOR

WE ALSO FOUND IT VERY USEFUL WHEN USING UPLOADING

WHO HAD NOT SEEN OUR VIDEO BEFORE. WE ALSO LOOKED ON

FINAL CUT WAS ALSO USEFUL. WE WERE ABLE TO PRODUCE
BACKGROUNDS USING PHOTOSHOP AND ‘PNG FILES’ AND DRAG
T H E M I N T O P H O T O S H O P W H I C H W A S A L S O A G R E AT H E L P T O

THE GREEN SCREEN. HOWEVER WE HAD SOME PROBLEMS

10. GREEN SCREEN
WE USED THE GREEN SCREEN WITHIN OUR MUSIC VIDEO
BECAUSE WE WANTED TO PRODUCE A VIDEO WHICH HAD
LOTS OF EDITED BACKGROUNDS IN POST PRODUCTION. WE
FOUND THE GREEN SCREEN VERY USEFUL BECAUSE IT
ENABLED US TO GAIN MORE SKILLS AND EXPERIMENT WITH
NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE. WE WERE
ALSO ABLE TO USE THE EFFECTS ON THE COMPUTER WHICH
