I used picktochart for my question 3 evaluation as it is a very easy way of effectively presenting large amounts of information.

At the last stage of my blog, I have used Padlet to create this interactive flowchart, of new media technologies. It has allowed me to create a combination of images, text and symbols in a creative way. It was a useful way of presentation as it has an extended work area. It has also gave me flexibility to add and change parts of the chart easily, and automatically updates it on my embedded platforms.

I used Fireworks to place the image of my digipak together after editing them individually in on Picmonkey. I used fireworks as it allowed me to upload a template and add the images to the correct position without distorting the images in any way, and it also allowed me to make any editing changes that I desired.  I only used this post-editing because am not as familiar with the platform so it would have taken an inefficient amount of time to edit using this software as well.

To edit my product I mainly used Final Cut Pro on an IMac; this was software that I am familiar with. Everything that I needed to make the final product was provided here. Final cut offered us many things that I used in my product like effects such as filters and designs like 'Letterbox'. The 'Letterbox' effect cropped the bottom and top of the footage to create a widescreen, and what we felt was professional, effect. On this software I was also able to easily change the composition of shots and it allowed me to cut shots, to change the timing to fit the beat of the music; having shots in time with the rhythm is essential for a high quality product and a convention of music videos. Overall, Final Cut Pro has been an essential part of creating our final products outcome and the level of quality it is.

I used the Panasonic HDC SD60 video camera to record my footage as it allows me to record in 1080p therefore resulting in high quality footage. I have a lot of experience with this camera as I used it for my AS task and for personal use. This camera allows a 1080p recording therefore I could record in higher quality and produce a more professional video. This camera is also very compact so it was easy to take and step up in each location.

I used my Iphone when producing the photos for my photographic story board. Because I always have my Iphone with me it was there for me to use as soon as it was a suitable time to start taking the photographs and as it is a light, small, portable device, it was easy to move locations quickly. My Iphone produces high quality clear images, and make it easy to transfer them to other devices, for example my computer when I began to create the storyboard.

I used an email platform to seek permission to use Tom Odell’s song ‘Grow old with me’ from the record able. I chose to use email as it is a formal form of communication.

I used a scanner to scan in my story board and drafts for my advert and digipak. The scanner allowed me to have clear, high quality images of my own drawings. It was essential to draw the drafts rather than create them on a digital platform, for example Picmonkey, because it allowed my peers to see the drafts in a physical form that could fold (for the digipak) and they could give me feedback on specific sections. I could depend on the scanner to provide a clear image that I could edit afterwards.

Gif Maker has been a helpful tool to use through the whole of my blog, particularly the research and planning section where it was heavily writing, to add any moving image to the posts that I have produced and make it more visually interesting.

Slideshare is a way of creating a slideshow/power point that can be embedded into my blog. Slideshare offers a variety of tables, text, image, and editing options therefore I could make a visually interesting presentation. I cerate my question 1 evaluation in the way because it is very text heavy but allowed me to split the information into sections.

Survey Monkey was a great online format that I used to create my questionnaire for audience feedback tasks. It enabled me to embed it onto my blog as well as post on various social sites for feedback to be produced. Survey monkey allows a clear and simple format for users, which made it easier for my audience to fill in. It also created graphs and statistic for me to use when analysing my results.

I used YouTube to share and playback my product at different stages throughout the task (for example, the first cut) and other videos I have created and put onto my blog, which makes them more accessible.
I also used YouTube during my 9 frame analysis as it allowed me to display the images that I was analysing as I could screenshot them.
I chose to use YouTube as it is a great platform that provides an extensive range of music videos and songs, therefore anything that I wanted would be on available to use ad view from here. YouTube is also a free domain; therefore I could view and share anything that I desired on my blog. I uploaded my first and final cut onto YouTube as it is an easily accessible platform, for example you can access it on computer, phones and tablets, so I was able to send links directly to my target audience in order to receive feedback.  YouTube is a very reliable website that I knew would be easy to access in good quality.

Prezi has helped me when it came to producing long explanations or complicated posts of information. It creates a very clear, smooth format for large posts. I used Prezi for my genre research because I wanted to research the genres in depth, including sub-genres.  This format is a very easy way to separate information and have it presented to the audience in a certain order. I was also able to embed other formats into Prezi, for example I was able to add YouTube videos into it as example. Prezi also allowed me to embed it into my blog, therefore allowing a direct viewing, rather than a link.

Slideful is a website that allows you to upload images to create an interactive slide show. I used Slideful to present my shooting script as it could possibly be a very long post; this website was a helpful way to compact all of the information to a neat and smaller post, which is more interesting with the interactive buttons.

Picmonkey is a key website that i have used throughout my blog to create and design different formats of image and text throughout my blog. I found this to be a very useful website as it provides many different, stickers, overlays, fonts, and effects, therefore on this I could design a range of visually interesting posts. I used Picmonkey mainly for text heavy posts, so that I was able to add the correct content and information in a variety of more appealing formats, for example, images and posters. I used Picmonkey for many of my posts, such as, many off my feedback and analysis posts were created here.

Ancillary Products – I used Picmonkey to create my ancillary products as it is an easy platform to use, that I have a lot of experience with. This editor maintains the image quality of my photos. Because this editor has many effects, I was able to upload images and erase different parts, for example when adding the logo’s I could make the backgrounds transparent. As it is an online platform I could use it where ever I was and whenever I had access to the internet. Overall Picmonkey gave me a lot of control over my images/products so that I could get them exactly as I desired.

Google has been a good resource throughout the entirety of my blog to generally find information and imaging relevant to my blog posts.

To present and record the whole task, I have used Blogger. All of the different sections of my coursework have been published on this website as an individual blog posts; the whole process was documented here. I found that Blogger is simple to use and is a great way to present my task. This allowed me to separate the key steps in the project, chronological, so that they are easily accessible; the date stamps show when I made significant developments. Blogger has allowed me to me to add links and embed different formats; therefore keeping everything in one place and varying the presentation style.

• Most technologies described as "new media" are digital, often having characteristics of being manipulated, networkable, and interactive; they are new platforms and advances in technology. New media technologies are often smaller and cheaper forms of previous products; they are also an example of converging technology. Some examples may be the Internet, websites, computer multimedia, computer games, CD-ROMS, and DVDs.
