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

Here I have taken screen prints of the software in which i have used. From the top left I have 'Final Cut pro' in which I have used to create my final piece trailer. The program allows you to upload captured shots you have taken by video camera and then cut and join them up to make a trailer.


I have used the website 'Youtube' as part of my research in which I searched different horror movie trailers and teaser trailers to give me an idea of the different plots, shots, props and special effects that look effective in a horror trailer.

I've used the site 'Blogger' to record all my development and research to making the final product itself. Blogger allows me to show my products in different media sources, and also allows me to comment and explain why I am carrying out certain tasks.

Flikr is a site in which you can manipulate pictures by adding your personal views and analysis to specific pictures youve used, so that the written text is on the image rather than below it. Flikr has created my work to look more professional as its easier to view specific features on my blog.

By the use of both flikr and blogger I have found analysing specific texts much easier compared to traditional methods such as essays, as the majority of texts I needed to analyse were all on the computer or could be found on the internet, and therefore I found it easier to analyse them, as I could transfer these texts onto my blog or flikr and add notes to the specific image, instead of trying to explain the image and then analyse it. I feel this technique of documenting your work is less complicated and keeps all things together, showing the relations between your own work and others.

During the making of my trailer as well as using 'Final Cut Pro' I’ve added voice over and sound by using the programme 'GarageBand'. GarageBand has allowed me to record and then manipulate voices to sound scarier.

For my ancillary tasks I have used 'Photoshop' as here I can create posters and other texts easily changing the whole image, and adding other objects.
