How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
We used Adobe Premier to create both of our adverts. I found it easy to
use as cutting up clips was very simple. However, most of the time when the
software was opened, there is no sound until you edit the audio preferences;
This led to lost time which could have been used on improving our work. The
software also has very small icons. These prohibited me specifically because I
could not see them clearly. A huge positive of the software was the range of
customisation available. We could re-size our images which helped
when utilizing the green screen. We also
used Photoshop when creating the magazine advert and video game
cover. It was easy to use and had a variety of effects we could apply to
the pictures we had taken. It does also have small icons but we got around the
issue. When researching and analysing some products, our main source of
information was Wikipedia. It was a good source of information on the game
history and when analysing specific game trailers, we looked at the genres of
the games. During the evaluation process, I used Prezi as it is very similar
to PowerPoint. It is very easy to use and my experience
with PowerPoint helped me navigate it. I also used
a Dictaphone in previous work for example the audience feedback.
I am used to using them by now so there was no issue with it.
