A camera was used to take the pictures for all of my print products, this includes all the pictures of Nathan and then all the pictures of the school. Using a good quality camera allowed my group to get good quality pictures making the print products look better. Having a good quality picture would draw the attention of potential customers because they can see the actor better.

I used a video camera to record all of my clips for my trailer. This was a very simple but important piece of technology during the production of my media product. It produced high quality videos making it easier for the audience to see every clip. The only problem I found with the camera is that it ran out of charge quickly, this meant we had to rush certain clips meaning some clips didn't look as good as other.

Flikr came in very handy when I had to store all of my pictures, they were very accessable for whenever I needed them. As i worked in a group, any pictures taken could be shared with ease as all we had to do was go onto eachothers Flikr. Its very easy to use, just select the pictures you wanted to upload, and then click upload. I found the only problem with it was that the app was very slow which was very annoying as it took time to get the pictures.

Prezi is very similar to PowerPoint, but looks and works a lot better, its a lot more professional. It stands out a lot more than if I used PowerPoint, it moves from slide to slide in a more eye catching way as it has better transitions, however it is a lot hard to use than powerpoint but when it is done it does look a lot better. It is both compatable on the computer and also on the iPad. This came in handy as it is very easy to use on the tablet, although it is also very easy to use on the PC.

I used this technology for my question 3 in my evaluation. It is a very useful and easy piece of technology to use. It allowed me to put any work from my microsoft documents onto it and then you could scroll down and view each slide. I found it very easy to use as all I had to do find the document I wanted and then upload it, I was then able to embed it onto my blog which would once again be very useful to anyone viewing my blog.

Throughout the year, I used Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint. As I have been using it all my life, I found it the easiest technology to use as I know where everything is and exactly how to use them. I used PowerPoint the most out of the two as I was able to save it as a picture and put it straight onto my blog. I used it the most during my research and planning. The only problem with powerpoint is that it is used by everyone, everyone uses to then save it as a picture to them upload onto their blog. I used Microsoft word when I was planning any work or when I was going to put any text onto my blog, i'd use it to spell check all my work and make sure that everything is right before putting it up onto my blog.

Thinglink was one of the best media technologies that I used throughout the course of the year. It came in very handly when I had to talk about existing print products and talk about the conventions and how I could use them on my print products. It was easy to use as all I had to do was click where I wanted to tag to go and then type what I wanted to say. I also used it earlier in my evaluation when I had to talk about how I used or challenged conventions of existing products. I was able to use it on my iPad which game in very handy, it is a lot easier to use and means i can bring it out with me and do it when I have nothing else to do.

At first I found it hard to use Soundcloud as I had never used it before so it was a new technology to me. It did come in very handy though when it came to audience feedback, I was able to voice record people and then upload it onto Soundcloud, I was then able to embed it onto my blog so people could listen to it straight off my blog. However, the app that I could get on my phone and iPad was very difficult to use and was hard to navigate around the pages, this was time consuming meaning I spend more time on it than I would have liked.

iMovie was a good technolgy to use when I was producing my continuity editing at the begining of the year, it was easy to use as all I had to do was put the clips together. It all got harder as I then had to edit it and as I had never used it before I struggled at this. After a few attempts I knew what I was doing and was able to produce a good piece of continuity editting. This is the best software for my ability to edit my trailer, everything is easy to find and the tools were very useful when editting my trailer.

I found Youtube as being one of the most important pieces of media technology that I used this year. I used it to research different film trailers to find out what they all had in common, this would allow me to use ideas from these existing products to use in my own. I also used it to find music to use in my trailer, this was a hard process as there is such a wide range of music out there. I also used it to post my trailer. Posting it on Youtube was a good technology to use as I was able to embed it onto my blog which was useful as you could watch it straight off the blog instead of clicking on the link. A problem with this technology was that it wass very time consuming when trying to upload a video. My 1 minute 42 second trailer took over 10mintues to upload which was very annoying. Other than that problem, I found it very useful.

Fireworks is what I used for the production of my ancillary texts, my front cover, my billboard and my DVD cover. As I haven't used it for such a long tome, since AS, I found it difficult to understand what each tool did and how to use it. After time I was able to figure it all out and use it to good affect. Fireworks was the best option to edit my print products as all the right tools are there for me. A problem of Fireworks is the fact that you have to pay for it at home, meaning I was only able to do work at school, this was a problem as I wasnt able to spend as much time on it as I would have liked to. It was also a good technology to use as I allowed me to save my work as a JPEG meaning I could embed the images onto my blog.

Blogger is what i have used to present all of my coursework, this is also what I used last year. It is a very good technology to use as it is very easy to figure out how to use the online site. I find it very useful how google allow you to embed other websites programs onto the blog. This came in useful during all the time of using blogger. At some points I had to use Thinglink so I could talk about existing products, I was then able embed the whole picture onto my blog and you could also see the tags. Another example is when In used Youtube to upload my final film trailer, I was able to embed it which then allowed you to view the video on the blog. However, there was also some probelms with blogger. If i did work on Microsoft Word, I was not able to put the work straight onto the blog as a picture, I had to rather copy and paste all the work or put it into a PowerPoint document with allowed me to save it as a picture and put it onto my blog. However, overall I found blogger very useful and was the best way that I was able to present all if my work.

Over the past year I have used new technologies, as well as ones I used last year during A1, to complete all of my planning, research and construction of my media products which include a magazine front cover, a billboard and a DVD cover and then also my film trailer. I have used different technologies to present my work to be different and to make my blog look interesting.
