1. 4. How did you use new media
technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages?
 I used new media technologies
in all stages of my coursework.
In the construction, I used
video editing software ‘Adobe
Premiere 10 to compile and
edit my video. Using this
software was not easy as it
kept on freezing without us
saving our work. However,
once we knew this was going
to happen, we made sure we
saved our work so we wouldn’t
lose it. After we got use to the
problem, everything started
running a bit smoother. We
were confident in using the
software and the different
effects.

2.  I used ‘Photoshop’ to
airbrush some of the
pictures on the CD digipak
and the advert. I was very
familiar with the software as
I had to use it for GCSE
media, to do my magazine,
so I did know how to do
some things on there. We
also used pixlr.com to
airbrush photos and to add
backgrounds in. Paint was
used to add the CD digipak
together and to save it as a
picture file. We also used
Microsoft word to crop
pictures out and to save our
advert as a file also.

3.  PowerPoint I used to create
PowerPoint presentation to add
to slideshare to put on my
blog. When doing research and
planning, I used the internet
and it’s services like YouTube
that offer me music videos that
I can analyse using ‘Microsoft
Word’. I also used ‘Wordpress’
to present my work
electronically as a blog. I also
used ‘Prezi’ to present some of
my work on my blog. This
shows that I’m capable of
using a variety of different new
media technologies.
