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

Media technologies were a big part in producing our media products such as our trailer, poster and magazine front cover. We used media throughout our planning, research and creating our media products.
For our research we used YouTube which is a video sharing site, to research some of the trailers. We researched trailers such as Dead snow, Zombie land and Shaun of the Dead on YouTube. We also used Google to research different magazine covers and different posters so we had an idea of what we were going to use on our ancillary tasks. We researched a watchmen magazine which we used the same layout as for our magazine on Google which helped us a lot.
To construct our media product we recorded the footage on video cameras and edited it on power director 9. Power director 9 is a program where you can edit the footage and the music within each clips. For our magazine front cover and our poster we used Photoshop which is a program where you can edit pictures and add titles to it. We also used a program called Audacity which is a program where you can record sounds with a Mic. We used Audacity when recording our voice over within our trailer.
We didn’t use many media technologies for our planning as most of it was hand-written. We used a scanner to scan all of our work into our hard drive, so that we could enter our planning into our blog.
Again for our evaluation we didn’t really use much media technologies but the media we did use did come in handy. We used YouTube again for our evaluation as we put our trailer on YouTube and allowed people to leave comments about it.
