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

I used the new media technologies effectively when it came to construction and research, planning and evaluation. For the construction and planning stage, I used this website (www.blogger.com) to upload moodboards and forms of inspiration. This helped me access my ideas much more easily than it would have been had I printed them off. I used this website to my advantage and, after time, found it very easy to use. I also used Photo Shop to edit the images for the magazine cover, as well as editing a number of images to go on this blog. I also used a number of websites to draw influence from when it came to my magazine cover. The most prominent one was that of film magazine 'Empire' who's magazine covers I have featured on this blog.

For the editing of the trailer, we used Sony Vegas Pro 10.0, a program our group found easier to use than the college's Adobe Premier Pro due to the fact that it includes more features etc.

For planning and evaluation, I used pretty much the same forms of technology as I did for the other stages in my work, these include Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, and Adobe Photo Shop. Another thing we took advantage of was the possibility to upload our trailer to YouTube, allowing us to upload it to our individual blogs, making evaluation on said blog much. much easier than without.
