How did you use media technologies in the constructions, research, planning and evaluation stages?
Blogger: I used the website in the planning and construction stages of my production. It's a very simple site that allows you make the simple blog posts, photos, video links and can customize all texts with fonts and colours.
Vimeo; I used this website to upload all footage that I would need for linking it onto my blog. Due to the size constrants for the free use of vimeo, we had to be careful how much we could upload in a week and limit it down below 500mb.
Survey Monkey: We used this site last year for our surveys based on the video we made and we used it again this year with no problems. We could make different kinds of style survey questions and lay them out in different ways. Again, we was only limited to 10 questions and some of the styling options was for a price but we still manage to make a good enough survey with what we had. It allowed us to also read all or specific answers from the survey so finding out the good and the bad answers was quite easy.
Prezi: This was like a online version of powerpoint which included much cooler layout and made it look more visually interesting. It was also very easy to import onto my blog and it allowed youtube and vimeo videos to work straight off it.
Powerpoint; Most of my blog work was created with powerpoint but I did switch between that and Prezi. Powerpoint is free and easy to use so there wasn't any constrictions. Once finishing with my powerpoint, uploading it to blogger ment saving the slides as JPG files started to make my computer files messy but it will allowed me to do some other things that paired sites would want me to do.
Photoshop; Having had past experience with photoshop, being able to use this was much easier due to knowing what I needed to do. We used this on the ancillary tasks to create the CD cover and magazine advert.
Video Camera: We used a little, handheld camera which we used to film all of our music video. It was portable and easy to use and allowed quick upload to the computer ready for editing but sadly the quality is quite low on them so they are not the best quality of camera.
DSLR Camera: We also used a handheld camera to take the pictures for our ancillary tasks. The pictures were of a much higher quality compared to them if they was taken with the video camera or a phone camera.
Tripod: This was the key to making all shots stable and still as well as doing smooth pans and tilts. We used it for both the main video and the ancillary task so they wasn't shaky or blurry.
Messaging: We was able to talk to members of the group and the actors though Facebook and texting which made planning much easier.
