Evaluation Question 4

How did you use new media technologies in the

construction, research and planning and evaluation

stages?

In order to produce a professional looking teaser trailer, film poster and film magazine front cover certain products had to be bought. This included many technical products which are shown in the following slides:

Camera

I used two cameras in the process of creating my promotional products- A video camera (Canon) for filming

the teaser trailer scenes- A picture camera (Sony CyberShot)

for taking photos for the film poster and film magazine front cover

Other Equipment

Some of the other equipment we used was the following:- LED light- Reflector- Microphone- Boom pole- Dead Cat for the microphone (to

prevent wind)

LED Light Light Reflector RODE Microphone

Dead Cat Boom Pole

Editing

For editing the film poster and film magazine front cover I used Adobe Photoshop. I found this to be a very good program to use as although it is complicated at first, once understood, the end result looks much more professional due to all the filters and different tools that are available to use.

Editing

For editing the teaser trailer I used Adobe Premiere Pro, I knew this program was going to be good as it is one professional film makers use. This program was also very complicated but after watching many tutorials it became easier to use and when seeing my end product, I realised that I was very pleased with it and it would not have been how it was without Adobe Premiere Pro.

Having the availability to all these technical products has meant that I have been very proud of my end results of my promotional products. I also used technology in the evaluation stages by being interviewed about my promotional products for 10 minutes by my media teacher. This was effective as I was able to elaborate about my products as much as I wanted to. This clip is placed on blog also.
