How	
  did	
  you	
  use	
  media	
  
 technologies	
  in	
  the	
  construction,	
  
research,	
  planning	
  and	
  evaluation	
  
                stages?	
  
Blogger	
  
  I	
  created	
  a	
  blog	
  to	
  present	
  
         the	
  ongoing	
  work	
  from	
  
        research	
  through	
  to	
  the	
  
                            =inal	
  piece.	
  
 By	
  using	
  this	
  method	
  all	
  of	
  
   my	
  work	
  was	
  in	
  the	
  same	
  
 place	
  which	
  made	
  it	
  easier	
  
to	
  see	
  the	
  progression	
  from	
  
                        start	
  to	
  =inish.	
  
        This	
  also	
  allowed	
  me	
  to	
  
        insert	
  multimedia	
  work	
  
 which	
  I	
  found	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  more	
  
                 interesting	
  way	
  of	
  
displaying	
  work.	
  In	
  addition	
  
   broadening	
  my	
  computer	
  
                                        skills.

Xtranormal	
  
    Because	
  I	
  had	
  created	
  an	
  
     online	
  blog	
  I	
  was	
  able	
  to	
  
 present	
  audience	
  feedback	
  
          in	
  the	
  novel	
  form	
  that	
  
           Xtranormal	
  provides.	
  	
  
                 I	
  chose	
  to	
  make	
  an	
  
             ‘interview’	
  scenario	
  
  between	
  two	
  characters,	
  I	
  
    felt	
  this	
  technique	
  would	
  
grab	
  the	
  attention	
  of	
  anyone	
  
   looking	
  at	
  my	
  blog.	
  It	
  also	
  
   allowed	
  for	
  an	
  element	
  of	
  
            con=identiality	
  to	
  the	
  
         person	
  answering	
  the	
  
                       questionnaire	
  in	
  
comparison	
  to	
  being	
  =ilmed.

Prezi	
  
Instead	
  of	
  writing	
  extensive	
  
  amounts	
  of	
  text	
  on	
  my	
  blog	
  
I	
  presented	
  parts	
  in	
  ‘Prezi’s’.	
  
      The	
  tool	
  was	
  very	
  useful,	
  I	
  
          think	
  it	
  creates	
  a	
  great	
  
      aesthetic	
  and	
  by	
  breaking	
  
        the	
  text	
  up	
  into	
  bite	
  size	
  
         portions	
  I	
  felt	
  it	
  is	
  more	
  
       successful	
  in	
  maintaining	
  
        the	
  audiences	
  attention.	
  	
  
However,	
  it	
  can	
  be	
  very	
  time	
  
      consuming	
  as	
  I	
  am	
  quite	
  a	
  
        perfectionist	
  and	
  like	
  to	
  
     experiment	
  until	
  the	
  piece	
  
          looks	
  as	
  good	
  as	
  it	
  can.

Slideshare	
  
     I	
  used	
  Slideshare	
  more	
  
     towards	
  the	
  end	
  of	
  the	
  
project,	
  to	
  present	
  the	
  =inal	
  
   pieces	
  and	
  illustrate	
  the	
  
      process	
  of	
  production.	
  
 The	
  website	
  allows	
  you	
  to	
  
            upload	
  powerpoint	
  
           presentations,	
  in	
  my	
  
            opinion	
  they	
  are	
  an	
  
   excellent	
  way	
  to	
  present	
  
    information	
  simply	
  and	
  
                        effectively.	
  	
  
          Since	
  discovering	
  the	
  
     website	
  I	
  have	
  become	
  
  hooked,	
  using	
  it	
  for	
  other	
  
          subjects	
  as	
  a	
  revision	
  
                            resource.	
  

       [www.slideshare.com]	
  
Youtube	
  
             Youtube	
  was	
  a	
  great	
  
    resource	
  throughout	
  the	
  
 project.	
  I	
  used	
  it	
  a	
  lot	
  in	
  the	
  
    research	
  stages,	
  the	
  vast	
  
amounts	
  of	
  =ilm	
  that	
  exist	
  in	
  
   the	
  online	
  video	
  library	
  is	
  
 inexhaustible.	
  I	
  was	
  able	
  to	
  
        learn	
  about	
  forms	
  and	
  
conventions	
  of	
  short	
  =ilm	
  by	
  
  watching	
  them	
  online.	
  The	
  
     site	
  was	
  also	
  very	
  useful	
  
      because	
  of	
  the	
  forum	
  of	
  
     comments.	
  I	
  was	
  able	
  to	
  
             read	
  opinions	
  of	
  the	
  
          thousands	
  of	
  viewers,	
  
      taking	
  into	
  account	
  the	
  
    thoughts	
  they	
  expressed	
  
 when	
  making	
  my	
  own	
  =ilm.

          Another	
  wonder	
  of	
  the	
  
                   Wikinomic	
  age	
  is	
  
     dafont.com.	
  The	
  site	
  was	
  
invaluable	
  in	
  the	
  production	
  
   and	
  research	
  stages	
  of	
  my	
  
    ancillary	
  tasks.	
  I	
  used	
  the	
  
 site	
  to	
  decide	
  what	
  styles	
  of	
  
 typography	
  I	
  wanted	
  to	
  use	
  
and	
  then	
  was	
  able	
  to	
  use	
  the	
  
                         fonts	
  for	
  free.	
  




                [www.dafont.com]	
  
GarageBand	
  
Using	
  GarageBand	
  	
  I	
  created	
  
 the	
  soundtrack	
  for	
  the	
  =ilm.	
  
    I	
  used	
  samples	
  that	
  were	
  
                  preloaded	
  onto	
  the	
  
          software.	
  I	
  chose	
  to	
  use	
  
different	
  variations	
  of	
  piano	
  
 tunes,	
  mainly	
  ‘Delicate’	
  as	
  I	
  
felt	
  it	
  suited	
  the	
  genre	
  of	
  the	
  
                 =ilm.	
  Furthermore	
  I	
  
         repeated	
  the	
  same	
  tune	
  
        each	
  time	
  Lily	
  came	
  into	
  
 shot,	
  the	
  faster	
  beats	
  of	
  the	
  
 music	
  were	
  re=lective	
  of	
  the	
  
  emotions	
  that	
  the	
  narrator	
  
  felt,	
  this	
  was	
  an	
  attempt	
  at	
  
               helping	
  the	
  audience	
  
  connect	
  to	
  the	
  protagonist.	
  
GarageBand	
  
We	
  also	
  used	
  GarageBand	
  to	
  
record	
  the	
  voice	
  over	
  for	
  the	
  
          =ilm.	
  Using	
  the	
  built	
  in	
  
  microphone	
  we	
  were	
  able	
  
 to	
  create	
  a	
  narration	
  which	
  
 told	
  the	
  story,	
  by	
  doing	
  this	
  
           we	
  gave	
  the	
  audience	
  
             subjective	
  character	
  
identi=ication	
  with	
  the	
  main	
  
                           protagonist.	
  
Final	
  Cut	
  Pro	
  
 We	
  used	
  the	
  software	
  Final	
  
   Cut	
  Pro	
  for	
  the	
  editing	
  of	
  	
  
 the	
  =ilm,	
  it	
  was	
  essential	
  in	
  
       the	
  production	
  process.	
  	
  
        The	
  software	
  has	
  great	
  
 editing	
  tools	
  and	
  is	
  easy	
  to	
  
       use	
  for	
  a	
  =irst	
  time	
  user.	
  
  Adding	
  the	
  soundtrack	
  to	
  
   the	
  =ilm	
  was	
  simple	
  and	
  I	
  
was	
  able	
  to	
  mute	
  sections	
  of	
  
        the	
  =ilm	
  that	
  had	
  audio	
  
                             disruptions.	
  
Adobe	
  Photoshop	
  CS4	
  
  Photoshop	
  was	
  essential	
  in	
  
the	
  production	
  of	
  my	
  poster.	
  
 It	
  was	
  also	
  used	
  for	
  the	
  =ilm	
  
  where	
  we	
  took	
  around	
  600	
  
         stills	
  from	
  what	
  we	
  had	
  
         =ilmed	
  and	
  I	
  then	
  made	
  
  them	
  look	
  like	
  illustrations	
  
    using	
  =ilters.	
  The	
  task	
  was	
  
   laborious	
  due	
  to	
  the	
  shear	
  
         number	
  of	
  =iles	
  but	
  as	
  a	
  
        =inal	
  product	
  I	
  think	
  the	
  
   black	
  and	
  white	
  section	
  of	
  
  animation	
  	
  is	
  good.	
  I	
  regret	
  
   not	
  doing	
  all	
  of	
  the	
  stills	
  in	
  
       the	
  same	
  way,	
  but	
  it	
  adds	
  
       contrast	
  and	
  variation	
  to	
  
                                   the	
  =ilm.	
  	
  
Adobe	
  InDesign	
  CS4	
  
          I	
  used	
  InDesign	
  as	
  it	
  is	
  
  much	
  easier	
  to	
  manipulate	
  
    text	
  in	
  than	
  Photoshop.	
  I	
  
 created	
  a	
  simple	
  layout	
  and	
  
inserted	
  the	
  text	
  and	
  photos	
  
                 I	
  had	
  selected.	
  	
  The	
  
     software	
  	
  enabled	
  me	
  to	
  
                create	
  the	
  clean	
  cut	
  
   aesthetic	
  that	
  I	
  had	
  aimed	
  
                  for.	
  Comparing	
  my	
  
 coursework	
  from	
  AS	
  clearly	
  
shows	
  how	
  much	
  difference	
  
  the	
  software	
  you	
  choose	
  to	
  
                                use	
  makes.	
  
Web	
  2.0	
  
      The	
  internet	
  was	
  vital	
  in	
  
                 research	
  stages.	
  The	
  
                   conglomeration	
  of	
  
 information	
  allows	
  fast,	
  easy	
  
        access	
  to	
  =ilms,	
  posters,	
  
      articles	
  which	
  I	
  used	
  as	
  a	
  
   model	
  for	
  the	
  work	
  which	
  I	
  
     created.	
  Furthermore,	
  the	
  
  changes	
  in	
  contribution	
  that	
  
                  have	
  been	
  spawned	
  
prosumers	
  meant	
  that	
  I	
  could	
  
    read	
  opinions	
  on	
  =ilms	
  via	
  
     sites	
  like	
  rottentomatoes.	
  
  Also,	
  I	
  was	
  able	
  to	
  query	
  any	
  
problems	
  I	
  encountered	
  with	
  
       software	
  on	
  forums,	
  this	
  
  meant	
  that	
  I	
  could	
  deal	
  with	
  
 issues	
  quickly	
  and	
  effectively	
  
                   thanks	
  to	
  Web	
  2.0	
  	
  	
  	
  	
  
Digital	
  Technology	
  was	
  essential	
  in	
  all	
  stages	
  of	
  	
  production.	
  I	
  feel	
  that	
  I	
  took	
  advantage	
  
                     of	
  the	
  resources	
  that	
  I	
  had	
  access	
  to,	
  and	
  by	
  doing	
  so	
  I	
  have	
  learnt	
  a	
  lot	
  about	
  
                                                                              technology,	
  improving	
  my	
  computer	
  skills.	
  	
  
I	
  have	
  experimented	
  with	
  different	
  software	
  to	
  =ind	
  out	
  which	
  programs	
  are	
  best	
  suited	
  
 to	
  the	
  set	
  purpose,	
  knowing	
  now	
  that	
  InDesign	
  is	
  far	
  better	
  suited	
  to	
  manipulating	
  text	
  
                                                                                                     documents	
  than	
  Photoshop.	
  
         The	
  =ilm	
  is	
  set	
  to	
  be	
  uploaded	
  on	
  to	
  youtube.com	
  which	
  is	
  arguably	
  the	
  best	
  use	
  of	
  
 digital	
  technology	
  as	
  the	
  =ilm	
  will	
  be	
  accessible	
  to	
  over	
  48	
  million	
  users	
  worldwide.	
  We	
  
     will	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  get	
  feedback	
  from	
  ratings	
  which	
  will	
  be	
  informative	
  and	
  very	
  useful	
  for	
  
                                                                                                assessing	
  the	
  success	
  of	
  our	
  =ilm.

Q3

  • 1. How  did  you  use  media   technologies  in  the  construction,   research,  planning  and  evaluation   stages?  
  • 2. Blogger   I  created  a  blog  to  present   the  ongoing  work  from   research  through  to  the   =inal  piece.   By  using  this  method  all  of   my  work  was  in  the  same   place  which  made  it  easier   to  see  the  progression  from   start  to  =inish.   This  also  allowed  me  to   insert  multimedia  work   which  I  found  to  be  a  more   interesting  way  of   displaying  work.  In  addition   broadening  my  computer   skills.   [www.blogger.com]  
  • 3. Xtranormal   Because  I  had  created  an   online  blog  I  was  able  to   present  audience  feedback   in  the  novel  form  that   Xtranormal  provides.     I  chose  to  make  an   ‘interview’  scenario   between  two  characters,  I   felt  this  technique  would   grab  the  attention  of  anyone   looking  at  my  blog.  It  also   allowed  for  an  element  of   con=identiality  to  the   person  answering  the   questionnaire  in   comparison  to  being  =ilmed.     [www.xtranormal.com]  
  • 4. Prezi   Instead  of  writing  extensive   amounts  of  text  on  my  blog   I  presented  parts  in  ‘Prezi’s’.   The  tool  was  very  useful,  I   think  it  creates  a  great   aesthetic  and  by  breaking   the  text  up  into  bite  size   portions  I  felt  it  is  more   successful  in  maintaining   the  audiences  attention.     However,  it  can  be  very  time   consuming  as  I  am  quite  a   perfectionist  and  like  to   experiment  until  the  piece   looks  as  good  as  it  can.   [www.prezi.com]  
  • 5. Slideshare   I  used  Slideshare  more   towards  the  end  of  the   project,  to  present  the  =inal   pieces  and  illustrate  the   process  of  production.   The  website  allows  you  to   upload  powerpoint   presentations,  in  my   opinion  they  are  an   excellent  way  to  present   information  simply  and   effectively.     Since  discovering  the   website  I  have  become   hooked,  using  it  for  other   subjects  as  a  revision   resource.   [www.slideshare.com]  
  • 6. Youtube   Youtube  was  a  great   resource  throughout  the   project.  I  used  it  a  lot  in  the   research  stages,  the  vast   amounts  of  =ilm  that  exist  in   the  online  video  library  is   inexhaustible.  I  was  able  to   learn  about  forms  and   conventions  of  short  =ilm  by   watching  them  online.  The   site  was  also  very  useful   because  of  the  forum  of   comments.  I  was  able  to   read  opinions  of  the   thousands  of  viewers,   taking  into  account  the   thoughts  they  expressed   when  making  my  own  =ilm.     [www.youtube.com]  
  • 7. Dafont   Another  wonder  of  the   Wikinomic  age  is   dafont.com.  The  site  was   invaluable  in  the  production   and  research  stages  of  my   ancillary  tasks.  I  used  the   site  to  decide  what  styles  of   typography  I  wanted  to  use   and  then  was  able  to  use  the   fonts  for  free.   [www.dafont.com]  
  • 8. GarageBand   Using  GarageBand    I  created   the  soundtrack  for  the  =ilm.   I  used  samples  that  were   preloaded  onto  the   software.  I  chose  to  use   different  variations  of  piano   tunes,  mainly  ‘Delicate’  as  I   felt  it  suited  the  genre  of  the   =ilm.  Furthermore  I   repeated  the  same  tune   each  time  Lily  came  into   shot,  the  faster  beats  of  the   music  were  re=lective  of  the   emotions  that  the  narrator   felt,  this  was  an  attempt  at   helping  the  audience   connect  to  the  protagonist.  
  • 9. GarageBand   We  also  used  GarageBand  to   record  the  voice  over  for  the   =ilm.  Using  the  built  in   microphone  we  were  able   to  create  a  narration  which   told  the  story,  by  doing  this   we  gave  the  audience   subjective  character   identi=ication  with  the  main   protagonist.  
  • 10. Final  Cut  Pro   We  used  the  software  Final   Cut  Pro  for  the  editing  of     the  =ilm,  it  was  essential  in   the  production  process.     The  software  has  great   editing  tools  and  is  easy  to   use  for  a  =irst  time  user.   Adding  the  soundtrack  to   the  =ilm  was  simple  and  I   was  able  to  mute  sections  of   the  =ilm  that  had  audio   disruptions.  
  • 11. Adobe  Photoshop  CS4   Photoshop  was  essential  in   the  production  of  my  poster.   It  was  also  used  for  the  =ilm   where  we  took  around  600   stills  from  what  we  had   =ilmed  and  I  then  made   them  look  like  illustrations   using  =ilters.  The  task  was   laborious  due  to  the  shear   number  of  =iles  but  as  a   =inal  product  I  think  the   black  and  white  section  of   animation    is  good.  I  regret   not  doing  all  of  the  stills  in   the  same  way,  but  it  adds   contrast  and  variation  to   the  =ilm.    
  • 12. Adobe  InDesign  CS4   I  used  InDesign  as  it  is   much  easier  to  manipulate   text  in  than  Photoshop.  I   created  a  simple  layout  and   inserted  the  text  and  photos   I  had  selected.    The   software    enabled  me  to   create  the  clean  cut   aesthetic  that  I  had  aimed   for.  Comparing  my   coursework  from  AS  clearly   shows  how  much  difference   the  software  you  choose  to   use  makes.  
  • 13. Web  2.0   The  internet  was  vital  in   research  stages.  The   conglomeration  of   information  allows  fast,  easy   access  to  =ilms,  posters,   articles  which  I  used  as  a   model  for  the  work  which  I   created.  Furthermore,  the   changes  in  contribution  that   have  been  spawned   prosumers  meant  that  I  could   read  opinions  on  =ilms  via   sites  like  rottentomatoes.   Also,  I  was  able  to  query  any   problems  I  encountered  with   software  on  forums,  this   meant  that  I  could  deal  with   issues  quickly  and  effectively   thanks  to  Web  2.0          
  • 14. Digital  Technology  was  essential  in  all  stages  of    production.  I  feel  that  I  took  advantage   of  the  resources  that  I  had  access  to,  and  by  doing  so  I  have  learnt  a  lot  about   technology,  improving  my  computer  skills.     I  have  experimented  with  different  software  to  =ind  out  which  programs  are  best  suited   to  the  set  purpose,  knowing  now  that  InDesign  is  far  better  suited  to  manipulating  text   documents  than  Photoshop.   The  =ilm  is  set  to  be  uploaded  on  to  youtube.com  which  is  arguably  the  best  use  of   digital  technology  as  the  =ilm  will  be  accessible  to  over  48  million  users  worldwide.  We   will  be  able  to  get  feedback  from  ratings  which  will  be  informative  and  very  useful  for   assessing  the  success  of  our  =ilm.
