How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
youtube
Youtube was a vital part of our A2 research and making of our trailer. We used it to look at other trailers for research so we knew what we wanted to do. It gave us an insight of what horrors are popular and have most views. it also helps us see what genre of horror our target audience is watching. Also we were able to get royalty free music from youtube which meant we could have music in our trailer for free. We also gained free overlays from YouTube to use in our trailer which was very helpful and a major part of constructing our coursework.
Final cut
We used Final cut to make our trailer. The fetaures in it allowed us to easily create our coursework. The timeline is very simple and easy to use and the effects and titles are easy to understand and use within the trailer. Being able to make multipole projects meant we could edit other videos for our website too.
prezzi
We used Prezzi during our evaluation as a tool for getting information across but in a more creative way. it is very simple and easy to use, it helps create presentations in a professional way.
pic monkey
Pick Monkey was a key part to our A2 coursework as we used it to make our poster, the features were easy to understand and simple to use, We played with outlines and images until we decided on the right one. We also changed the colour of the image added texts and added colours with ease.
photoshop
Photoshop helped us make our poster created on pic monkey look a lot more professional. it was very difficult to get used to but once we had it was easy to use and the effects were effective once added. Also we were able to make our magazine cover on photoshop and once we got the hang of it, it became very easy and simple to use and we were able to make our poster and magazine look effective.
