QUESTION 4: HOW DID WE USE MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR MAIN PRODUCT,RESEARCH AND PLANNING OF EVALUATION STAGE

RORY OAKLEY

INTRODUCTION

The filming of our documentary required many media technologies to be used for each product. This made us come together in order to ensure all 3 products had a high standard of quality

ADOBE PREMIERE

This programme was a key part of editing the documentary it allowed us to get the best results for our documentary. The use of fades added a very sharp touch to the documentary it made everything flow freely. The title sequence used to introduce the film made it look bold and stands out very well. The cutting and ading of clips were very useful as it allowed us to get rid of irrelevant clips and add in key bits of film which were either recorded after filming ended or were forgetten.

RESEARCH STAGE

Websites such as Google were very handy with collecting research as we were able to find important statistics and facts about YouTube, we searched for documentaries that had similar codes and conventions to ours. We looked at Vlogumentary, please subscribe on YouTube and SuperSize me on vimeo. These websites were a great help to use as it helped use decided what to take from other documentaries and what not to take at the same time.

RADIO TRAILER

The use of GarageBand was the most straightforward task as it was simple to pick up even though it was our first time using the programme, we eventually learned how to take clips from our documentary and add it into the radio trailer, a useful tool was the fade bar which allowed our expert interviews to overlap each other with no blips. Following this we were able to upload our radio trailer to SoundCloud.

OUTLOOK AND BLOGGER

Blogger was a very important part of our work as we keep each other updated and add improvements onto specific pieces of work could upload our work on a regular basis. The use of Microsoft Outlook was a very important website to use as we were able to send each other screenshots and different pieces of work, as well as this it was used to contact YouTuber’s on the possibility of them being in our documentary even though most of them were busy Tomska and Jack Howard did actually reply to us.

INDESIGN

Indesign was used to create our magazine article,we had used this previously was old projects so were fairly familiar. We spent a lot of time editing the magazine as we wanted it to took really genuine, we looked at other magazine articles for inspiration and were able to make the right one which complimented our other 2 products.
