Evaluation Progress

I have been off college for two and a half weeks so therefore I was behind on my coursework- my videos may not be fully complete in time for when you will be looking at my blog. Also, difficulties with the iMacs in college have decreased the pace I was aiming to move at.  I have took screenshots of my work as proof of my evaluation so far. Hopefully the finished videos and slideshow will be up so you can see them.

Evaluation: Q4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

BLOGGER

 I documented my research and planning through this website.

When creating my products I posted my work's progress after each session I worked on them.

It was easy to use the blog when creating the trailer, poster and magazine to decide what I wanted to include in them.

iSHOWU

Used to record videos.

I did a January podcast showing what I had done so far throughout the year.

Also I used this programme for Q4 of my evaluation.

Used it in AS year so I was familiar with how it works.

GARAGE BAND

First time using this programme properly, it was hard to get used to but then became a lot easier to use.

Used to create sound for the trailer.

iMOVIE

As I was the editor, I used this programme the most throughout the process of making the trailer.

I found it very easy to use as you simply had to drag and drop clips into your project from the event.

Was used to edit the trailer.

iPHONE

As I have an iPhone it was easy to get social networking feedback and audience feedback through texting people photos of my poster and magazine.

I could also use blogger on my phone so I could make posts whenever I wanted to.

MICROSOFT EXCEL

Was used to create my publication plan.

It was easy to plan my time as you could highlight boxes on the dates we intended to do certain things.

PHOTOSHOP

Used in AS and during GCSE.

 I became a lot more familiar with the tools, especially the photo editing.

Was used to create the poster and magazine.

THE INTERNET

Used a lot like in AS year to gather research for my blog and to aid me in creating my products.

I used sites such as YouTube, Word It Out, IMdb & Prezi.

Evaluation: Q3 What have you learned from your audience feedback?

These are some vox pops that i filmed after getting moderator feedback, they were filmed after i had finished all of my products.
