Dear Moderator

Hello. Hope you enjoy looking through my A2 blog.

My Research and Planning started in September, I began my Evaluations at the start of March and my final teaser trailer, magazine and poster follow after.

Thank you for your comments and guidance throughout this year. They have been appreciated!

Amy!

Evaluation Question 4 - How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evalution stages

I used this website to make a presentation about my target audience for my A2 work. This was used to refer back to throughout, to keep me on track with my work. Prezi was quick and easy to use which was good.
WordItOut was a fun and interesting way to put words together to find out our production and distribution company logo names. It was easy to use and very quick but still effective.

 I didn't find Solvr as helpful as WordItOut and Prezi but it was still fun to be able to use more technologies. Solvr was quick to use and after being shown how to did it, it was easy. We used it to come up with a film name.
I used SLR cameras to take pictures for my magazine and poster. We was taught how to use SLR's in AS so it was easy to do.
 I had never used a video camera until making my trailer so I was using it without experience, but I found it easy to use, and because I wasn't in charge of cinematography, I didn't have to film as much.
I used my standard digital camera for test shots for my research and planning.

 I used Garage Band to create all of the sound for our trailer. After a while of having to have help, it got easier to use.
 iShowU was used for podcasts which I used for this evaluation question. It is really easy to use and also really helpful.
 I used Photoshop for my magazine and poster. I have been using Photoshop for two years now so I know how to use it. Its quick and easy to use.

This is a labelled picture of iMovie which wouldn't open in my podcast so I will just show you how to use it now.
Once you've got your footage it will go into your 'Project Library'
Your toolbar has buttons which you can use to add editing transitions which I talk about in my video. You can also record your voice or sound effects through the record button.
Where it says event browser, that is the part where it shows all your footage which you can highlight and then drag and drop into your Project Storyboard.
Once you have edited all of your clips and made your video, you can press play and watch it back on the viewer.
