Evaluation: Question 4 How did you use media technologies in the construction and research and planning of my evaluation stages.

I have used a variety of media in both the research and creation of my trailer, poster and magazine cover.
I began using the internet and YouTube to search for typical conventions of genre, then focusing more on the specific genre of thriller. I then went to look at trailer examples such as Seven to find typical conventions I could use such as colours often found in our genre.
I created a questionnaire and showed the results with Microsoft PowerPoint to organise how I would create a trailer and also interviewed some members of my target audience with a camera.
 I created a publication plan and used worditout to come up with names for my products.
I then began to create my trailer by filming on a camcorder and then importing footage into iMovie to split and edit clips, also adding effects to the footage like fades and black and white.
I then used Photoshop to design a layout for both a film poster and a magazine cover and put pictures from an SLR camera I used into this.
Throughout the creation of these products I was updating my progress on blogger.
Music was created for my trailer using garage band software and imported to iTunes before being added to the trailer in iMovie.
I also used IShowU to create pod-casts and show myself working through these tasks.
Other softwear I used where Microsoft word and Powerpoint. I also used my Samsung tablet to take some images and keep my blog updated.
