Evaluation

4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
List all of the equipment you used and how it helped you – what would you have had to do if you didn’t have access to it?

In the construction of our film trailer we include new technologies such as the apple imac which we edited and added music to the trailer from, the imac has enabled us to produce higher quality editing and fast and effective transition from shot to shot, the imac also provided us with sound effects and we were enable to manipulate a voice to make a voice over . we used a limux camera with a high quality image to film digitally which was a lot easier to transfer on to the mac when we had filmed, as the camera was of high quality it enabled us to keep the action clear, and easy to watch for the audience. we also used the camera to take the still shots of me for the poster and the magazine front cover and these were very clear and detailed photos, With out these technologies we wouldn't be able to produce such a high quality of work and would of took us a lot longer to make also the audience wouldn't have as much interest in our trailer and ancillary products.

Within research we have used media technologies such as the Internet to provide information on film trailers, posters and magazine covers.
Websites like www.YouTube.com provide video clips that helped us think of ideas for an action film, such as camera angles, mise en scene, type of music and how to act. google images gave us ideas for film magazine covers and for film posters and helped us keep the generic conventions of each of these, the images helped our research a great deal as we found an image and copied the same properties for example the godfather film poster. www.Jamendo.com provided us with the copy right free music that we added to our film trailer and the song we chose which was 'lukhash psyche' fitted the genre of music that we wanted for our film trailer and what we had researched.The access of the Internets also enabled us to publish our work on to the blog and other websites such as face book and YouTube where we gained successful comments off Friends and teachers without the access to the Internet our research would have been made ten times harder it has provided ideas from hundreds of films for our trailer and ancillary tasks

In the evaluation stages technology helped us again as we used screen grabs to capture parts of our trailer and then we commented on lighting, sfx, mise en scene and editing. we have evaluated on our blogs which is another advantage of having access to the Internet, we can log on to our blogs on any computer with Internet access allowing us to get more work done. without this the whole evaluation would be written by hand and screen grabs would have to be from a photo and then stuck on to paper to Analise.

To conclude the new advances in technology enabled us to produce a higher quality finish to our product. research is made a lot easier thanks to the access of the internet and the mass of media services it provides, we canlook at and analise film trailer, film posters and film magazine front covers to help influence our work.
