Evaluation Questions!

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

During all of this work we have used a lot of different technologies.
We used cameras, to film and take photos for our ancillary tasks, we didn’t use any effects when using the camera we just thought about different types of shot etc.

We used photo shop to edit our photos for our ancillary tasks, this gave us a great chance to really get going with special effects to make our photos look as good as they possibly could for example Danny had bad skin in the picture and therefore we had to clean it up.

When editing and producing the video itself we used I Movie HD, this allowed us to use many effects such as speeding up scenes, slowing down, adding contrast, cutting unwanted scenes etc. This was probably the piece of technology that we used most within this whole piece of work.

Blogspot is the programme that we have used the whole time in which to add all of the information we have found out along the way, we have used it to give people a preview of our ideas, to show final pieces and also as a kind of bibliography for research in which we have found.

We have used power point to process a slide show evaluation, in which we presented in front of our class, this slide show was an evaluation of our work, powerpoint proved good when making a slide show although it isnt a very advanced piece of software., maybe prezzi may have been a better option for us.

We’ve used the internet throughout to find out a lot of info on our artist etc, we have used it to compare our video to others, but also to get simple things like images for our blog etc. The internet is another big part of our work as without it most of the technology we used wouldnt have worked such as our blog, we wouldnt have been able to use facebook or youtube to get responses on our video, therefore we would never know what people thought of our video.
