Evaluation 4, How did you use new media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages.

Within our media campaign, we have used several different pieces of technology. That have helped us create what i feel to be a very successful piece of media.
Here are some examples of the technology that we used;


Panasonic HDC-SD80- This is the camera we predominantly used when filming our production. When holding the camera in hand, it is extremely hard to get a steady, clear shot. This is why this camera free of hand was used mainly used for still shots.


Tripod - This simple piece of equiptment is possibly the most vital item found within a media department. It allows us to capture great shots whilst being steady and efficient. I believe that my technique of directing the tripod within the correct positions to then use it to film has improved substantially.


Voice Recorder - We needed to use this for evaluation activity 2. We needed to explain sevearl aspects of our choices and decisions made within our soap. As time past we realised several factors that affect the quality to the recordings. For example background noise is crucial to block out, this can simply be avoided by recording within an open space free of any spectators.



Social Networking Site - 'Facebook' was used to capture several different images in which i used for edvidence and to illustrate whom was featured in my soap. Reciving feedback would also be very effective for this, being a social networking site i can reach a broad range of potential audiences, and if i was to place my soap trailer upon this site i could gain sufficient feedback to help make my media production far greater than before.



Blogspot - This was the website in which we used to upload constant information and updates from our campaign. And it came in very useful, because it allowed our teachers to have a constant view upon which work had been finished and uploaded. This was also helpful because whilst completing other pieces of work we could gain feedback on what needed to be changed or if good enough to be kept the same.
