How did you

use new media

technologies in

the

construction

and research,

planning and

evaluation

stages?

Internet

ResearchResearching our media

style models, we used the internet and

more prominently YouTube to view many

different styles of trailers, by using

YouTube we could flick through large lists of trailers at a time and

see which one’s suited our needs.

PlanningPlanning our trailer and print works we used a mix of YouTube and sites such as IMBD, and we reflected all our Planning stages and

researching on blogs at eblogger.com

which we could easily edit and arrange to produce an

effective work station.

Hardware

Nikon D9 SLR CameraWe used New Media Technologies in

the ancillary texts by using SLR camera’s in the studio for our photo shoots to get all

of our shots for the two print pieces. We used it in the

studio to get the best picture possible.

Sony HDR – FX7 HD Camcorder

We used New Media Technologies in the construction of our media products, by

creating our movie teaser trailer using HD Camera’s and shooting in High Definition. This meant that the clarity of the picture was near

perfect resulting in a better viewing experience for

our audience.

Afterwards we used a card reader to transfer our

footage from the camera, to the hard drive using

the sd card in the camera.

This is the camera that we used for all of the

filming

Soundcraft EPM6 8

sound mixer

We used this sound system to allow us to

have many people in the studio at one

time but only have one persons voice

being picked up. This was used in our

thoughts voice over.

We also used the studio Microphones to

record the sound for the voice over.

We used radio microphones to record

sound

so that the sound would not be distorted

when it came to viewing the trailer.

Software

Adobe PremiereWe edited the media product in Adobe Premiere which

gave us a digital format to work with and add the special effects such as the electric shock, and voice over’s as well as transitions.

This was a great programme to use for editing the film as it

was quite easy to use and allowed easy cuts.

It allows you to do more complicated things than windows

movie maker would allow you to.

Adobe

PhotoshopWe edited the photos in

Adobe

Photoshop 5. This meant

that we

could work with tones and

airbrushing etc. This

allowed easy

edit of photos where you

could edit

one layer at a time which

meant

you are able to make

alterations

without wrecking the rest

of it,

like in programmes like

paint.

Adobe After

EffectsAdobe After Effects

allowed us

to create the

electrocution between

Valery and the phone

that we

would not have been able

to do otherwise.
