Evaluation 2

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


Picnik.com
Used this for my final draft of magazine and poster
The writing


Blogger
It is the most important part in my project, I learnt how to upoald, file, pictures and videos into the blog. I also found it easier than having a project done in a writen paper which may get lost. however this helped me keep all my files safe and mostly organised. It took a big part in evulation stage as it was easier to type it in blogger rathen than written by hand or in microsoft word.



Adobe Photoshop Elements
This also plays an important part in my prject mostly for my construction of poster and my magazine. It helped me by having burn tool, so that i could make my images darker and it also helped me layer the images as i wanted.



Camcorder
This was used for my trailer, This was very useful as it had a nite mode and also it was light so it was easier to carry around. It also heped me zoom in and out at times.


Micromedia Flash 8
I used this to create my own creation of production company logos for the opening of my trailer. In my opinion it was the most difficult to use in-terms of technologies. I learnt how to create a movement in certain pictures or still images.



Adobe premiere Elements
This was used for my making of trailer, i.e editing and joining different scenes making a full trailer. This helped me change the different colour for my trailer as i wanted a black and white and blue-ish (tint) effect on my trailer as an new convention in media industry. This also helped me add different effects change the contrast, saturate the image. most importantly because i did not want any sound in mine it helped me remove all the sound and add different sound effects as I wanted.

Camera (SLR) canon ds500

As i am a photography student aswell, I found it easier to take a still photograph for my poster and my Magazine which was done using this camera. I could change the setting manually so if i wanted a darker image i could do it by changing the 'iso' setting form my camera.



Windows movie maker
This was used to make my first try out draft of my trailer. it helped me montage clips and create a trailer. However, after in my opinion Adobe Primire was much more detailed and had more options then the movie maker.
