EVALUATION QUESTION 6WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE

PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?

MEDIA

• MEDIA IN GENERAL IS ALL ABOUT USING DIFFERENT TECH TECHNOLOGIES, AND I FEEL I HAVE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE START OF THE COURSE IN HOW TO USE THE TECHNOLOGIES EFFECTIVELY.

INTERNET

• THE FIRST PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY USED WAS DIFFERENT WEBSITES FOR EXAMPLE…

• WWW.WORDPRESS.COM . WORDPRESS IS THE BLOGGING WEBSITE I USED TO SHOW MY PROCESS OF RESEARCH AND PLANNING, CONSTRUCTION AND EVALUATION. THIS ALLOWED ME TO KEEP TRACK OF MY PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE COURSE

INTERNET

• ALSO WWW.SURVEYMONKEY.COM . SURVEYMONKEY WAS THE WEBSITE I USED AS A WAY OF DOING MY TARGET RESEARCH. AND GETTING GOOD FEEDBACK.

INTERNET

• WWW.FREEPLAYMUSIC.COM IS A VERY USEFUL WEBSITE. I USED THIS WEBSITE FOR MUSIC. IT CONTAINS A COLLECTION OF UN-COPYRIGHTED MUSIC THAT I COULD USE FOR MY PIECE.

YOUTUBE

• WWW.YOUTUBE.COM IS ANOTHER VERY USEFUL WEBSITE.IT ALLOWED ME TO UPLOAD ALL OF MY VIDEO WORK (EVIDENCE). E.G. AS PART OF MY RESEARCH, MATCH-ON-ACTION, AND MY PRELIMINARY TASK.

• THE WEBSITE IS SET UP TO ALLOW ANYBODY TO UPLOAD VIDEOS FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. IT IS VERY EASY TO USE, AND DIDN’T REQUIRE ME TO LEARN A NEW SKILL BUT IT DID MAKE ME USE THE SKILL MORE.

FILMING

• I USED A SONY HANDYCAM FOR MY FILMING. USING A CAMERS WASN’T A NEW SKILL I HAD TO LEARN. BUT I HAVE NOW LEARNED HOW TO USE A CAMERA EVEN MORE EFFECTIVELY FOR EXAMPLE NEW CAMERA SHOTS E.G. WORM’S EYE.

• I USED TRIPOD IN ALL MY SHOTS AS IT STEADIED THE CAMERA AND MADE IT LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL

EDITING AND BURNING• THE IMAC, WITH IMOVIE, IDVD AND ITUNES, WAS A TECHNOLOGY I HAD TO

LEARN. I USED THE RESEARCH INTO MATCH-ON-ACTION TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE DIFFERENT PIECES OF SOFTWARE WITHIN THE IMAC. IMOVIE WAS WHAT I USED FOR THE EDITING OF MY FILM. IT ALLOWED ME TO CUT CLIPS AND ORDER THEM HOW I WANTED, IT ALSO ALLOWED ME TO ADD SOUND AND SOUND EFFECTS. IDVD IS WHAT I USED TO BURN AND ADD MENUS TO THE DVD FOR THE EXAMINER. ITUNES IS WHAT I USED TO IMPORT THE SOUND TO IMOVIE. I NOW FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IN USING THE SOFTWARE EFFECTIVELY

EDITING AND BURNING

• I USED A SOFTWARE CALLED VIDEOPAD EDITOR, TO EDIT MY PRODUCTION SPLASH. IT ALLOWED ME TO USE GREEN SCREEN (CHROME KEY) SO I COULD CREATE AN EFFECTIVE MOVING PRODUCTION SPLASH.
