Using IMOVIE:Here is IMOVIE open; this is where I edited my trailer and dragged clips down to the bottom in order to edit them to how I want them

Here is where I dragged my music into from iTunes. You can make the music louder and quieter by dragging this movement up and down.

Here you can crop a clip in order to make it larger or just to zoom into somebody's face. I used this tool for a few of my shots to enhance the emotion through my characters faces.

Here is where all of my raw footage is kept; I am able to still view it all if there is anything else that I want to include. I can also drag it down to the bottom and begin editing it to how I like.

Here is the screen on I movie where you can view footage or your work up to how much I had done.

Use of IMOVIE: This slide shows how to use the “Inspector” which is a way of editing a clip; You can make clip changes to the clip which is changing the speed (making it slow motion). You

can also make Video changes to the clip which consist of changing the colour of the clip; brightening it and darkening it etc. Finally you are able to make audio changes which enable the clip to change by making the music louder or quieter on a certain

clip. You can also DUCK the sound so that the music is silent in the clip and the characters can speak with minimal music interrupting the scene.

Use of KEY NOTE :

One opening up key-note you are able to change the back ground colour etc. I changed mine to the E4 colour scheme which meant having a purple background

I used key note in order to create my opening and ending title cards. The screen shot below shows how I began to design my title cards.

The text boxes are already on the blank page on Key Note. You can double click to edit the font/size and colour and begin typing in your text.

Using the inspector enables myself to make movement with the text or images on my title cards; there is several different types of transitions that you can insert onto your work which are effective.

Q4

When I first began my research and planning for my final pieces: The first use of media technology that I used was GMAIL. I signed up via Google.

I created a GMAIL email address in order for all of my work sign ups such as: Slide Share, You Tube, Blogger to be all through my GMAIL address.

My GMAIL address was: AQ091131@gmail.com

It was helpful to have ONE email address for all of my media coursework as I could sustain all of my work within one email log-in. This became organised for myself when having to login to different websites for my media.

Evaluation: Powerpoint

Q4 Question 4 – How did you use MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES in the CONSTRUCTION and RESEARCH, PLANNING and EVALUATION stages?

In order to present my Evaluation I decided to present it with a

Powerpoint Presentation; this is because I feel that I am familiar with this and can evaluate my work to its best potential via PowerPoint.

I have done this through PowerPoint from the use of annotating my work with shapes and arrows. Also using print-screens of my work in order to show what I am talking to rather than just explain with words.

I used a lot of text boxes through out my evaluation in order to explain my work, planning and evaluate my coursework.
