How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages.

Throughout my media project i have used a variety of different technologies to create all the different aspects. The main technologies i have used are all computer based. For my research and planning i used programmes such as word and PowerPoint. This allowed me to make word documents and presentation in order to display the research and what we have come up with. I have use the apple macs for my trailer based programmes such as final cut express which allows for us to cut and edit the shots we have got and put them together using different transitions and effects. My skills have developed so much within final cut express and i have been able to show that whilst editing all the shots together as i have found out shortcuts into the programme instead of having to do it the longer way which helped me save time and allowed us to have more time to sit around together to do the poster and magazine. Within my project i used the programme prezi to be a belt to make different presentations which shows my skills within the technologies now too offer. My skills of using Photoshop have increased so much as before i only knew how to use the basic tools but as we went throughout the course Emma helped me with learning new things and also it allowed me to contribute into the magazine and poster. For my research I had also used YouTube online t look at previous trailers of all different genres and allowed me to look at what is similar between all and what sticks out in war trailers.
