Q6.What have you learnt about technologies from constructing your media product?

Whilst research and planning and helping to evaluate my finished media product I have used different media platforms as a means of showcasing my media coursework.

Different technologies I have used consist of;

• Adobe Photoshop
• Blogger
• Scanner
• Microsoft word/PowerPoint
• I phone 
• Prezi
• Slideshare
• Free online surveys.com
• Digital SLR camera
• Wideo
• Soundcloud

The digital camera allowed for me to take the clearest and best pictures possible in order to get professional looking pictures for my final product,I managed to use the digital camera for pictures against the white screen and pictures in an outside setting.I didn't fully utilize the cameras functions such as flash and zoom as I took my pictures within the day and I didn't feel zoom was the right function to use as I preferred to get close to the main artist instead of zooming to capture relevant facial expression.

Adobe Photoshop was instrumental in creating my final product as it enabled me to crop pictures and edit layers using tools such as magic wand and lasso tools to cut away irrelevant blocks and colours to ensure my product looked like a real media product.







A scanner assisted me some of the research and planning tasks such as when comparing magazine sketches to real life media products I also used shot plans and page layouts as a way of planning my final product.

Prezi,slideshare and Freeonlinesurveys.com and Wideo were ways in which some of my research tasks and also my evaluation tasks were presented.I felt it was important to use a variation of technologies so my coursework could stand out and i could express my skill in using different forms of ICT.

Soundcloud and my Iphone were used as a way of using my voice recordings to explain some of my evaluation I hadn't used neither of these technologies before and learnt I needed to carefully plan my answer to get a clear coherent speech to eradicate mistakes whereas my other presentational methods could be corrected by the click of a button.
