Evaluation 4

How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

We used Youtube as apart of the construction of our production for this year, as it helps us record and gain ideas about what ideas we can put together to create a new idea fr our trailer. This included of watching opening two minutes to popular film trailer and then gaining ideas of which help format the conventions of a generic trailer, then we narrowed it down in terms of genre, which helped us choose which genre we were interested in making for our production. It gave us a lot of inspiration for our planning in terms of how to creating our mise-en-scene, making sure it was conventional to our trailer. We also used Youtube to help us learn how to use the adobe premiere elements 10 software for the editing software in order to create something new and develop upon our current editing skills.


We used blogger to help illustrate our ideas and thoughts building up to our final trailer. It allowed us to review our progress, which kept us on track of our plan for our production.

We use a computer to help us edit our trailer using the software called adobe premire elements 10, we have learnt a lot from this software as we were able to experiment using the different transitions for our trailer such fade in and out into black. 

The camera that we used was called the Nikon Coolpix L330 20MP 26x, we thought that the quality was much better compared to last year as be experimented with different cameras to make sure we didn't end up with low quality footage for our trailer. I have learnt how to playback the footage, to make sure we were happy with how they turned out.

We also used a tripod to help create a better quality of footage and its something that we improved from AS as we didn't have a tripod making the footage shaky. This vastly impacted our production this year as the footage more still and increase the viewing experience of the trailer.
