6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Pre-Production

In the pre-production stage of my magazine, I mainly used the computer with Publisher as the document to work on my layout designs. Along with that, I used Word document for my Photoshop plan and costume design. For my research side of pre-production, I used Google drive to create my questionnaire and record the results as well as Google sites for the presentation of the entire project.

ProductionFor the actual production of my magazine, I used a DSLR

camera to capture pictures of my model with ‘red head’ lights and a green screen. I had full creative control over my photos

whilst photographing. I had only used this camera once previously, however this time; I was more in control of what shots I was able to take and adjusting the camera to where I wanted to position it, also I knew how to use the camera with

less guidance from Mr Walker.

Final Piece

I used a memory card reader to transfer images from the camera to the computer. Photoshop was used to edit and adjust my images. Since I didn’t use Photoshop in my preliminary project, this definitely taught me more skills since I learned how to use it properly, editing pictures to fit my preference. A green screen was used during my production for the picture taking as it stands out and is a colour that isn’t often used. Therefore, it was easier for me to edit the background out on Photoshop. I used publisher for the final layout of my magazine.

My most used Photoshop tools

PREZI, Slideshare and Youtube will be the online tools I will use for my

evaluation.
