HOW DO YOU USE MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH, PLANNING AND EVALUATION STAGES?
I used Blogger to document all my work throughout the production of my trailer, magazine and poster, as well as putting all of my planning on here, including the beginning research and ideas. I embedded analysis' of existing trailers from YouTube, as well as audience research I carried out.
GARAGEBAND
I used Garageband for my trailer, especially when researching what sound effects I could add into the trailer. I used this technology originally to have a play around with creating new sounds, and then when it came to putting sound to the trailer, we made some of our own sounds, as well as using garageband to add some sound effects, for example "dark suspense."
ISHOWU
I used iShowU to make podcasts and videos in order to show what progress I had made and what else I needed to do. iShowU allowed me to add a voiceover to the video of my blog.
IMOVIE
I used iMovie for the editing of our film, this meant that all footage was put onto iMovie and then cut. This allowed us to add editing transitions and title pages as you would see in a real trailer.
PHOTOSHOP
I used photoshop for the production of my film poster and film magazine. Here I used many tools, including the opacity tool in order to make my products fit the genre well.
SLR
I used the SLR to take shots for my film magazine. This allowed me to create a professional looking photograph in order for my magazine to look like other existing media products.
VIDEO CAMERA
As I was Cinematography, the video camera was something which I used throughout the whole production of my trailer. I also used this at the stages of research and planning so that I could get a feel for the camera, an example of this would be in "The Chase" scene.
PREZI
I used prezi in research and planning stage of production in order to create a presentation which could be embeded into my blog which would help me in terms of what kinds of cover lines I would like to see on my magazine, as well as distribution information.
WORD IT OUT
Word It Out was something which I used at the research and planning stage in order to generate some ideas, the software allowed me to put in a few words which created some sort of brain storm. This really helped me in terms of thinking of ideas and themes for my trailer.
SOLVR
Solvr was again used at the stages of research and planning in order to help overcome any problems which I had to consider when producing my trailer.
Facebook was very important to me throughout all stages of production, from research and planning to finding opinions on my final product. This helped me find audience feedback through social networking, as it was important to know whether the audience liked the product in order for it to work well.
Twitter was another method of social networking. I used this at research and planning stage to organise meetings with cast of the film, as well as social networking which I needed to gain audience feedback.
YOUTUBE
Youtube was a technology which was vital in the research and planning of my film, as it was used to look at existing media products in order to analyse genre and techniques used in trailers.
