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

Construction

We had used technologies such as YouTube and Google when constructing our trailer. We had used these from gaining ideas of what to use when making our own. When constructing our trailer we had listed horror/thriller films that we thought we could gain ideas from to help us think of a story line for our trailer. When looking at the other trailers we had used YouTube, which we had used in other aspects of our planning and research. YouTube is fairly new to the technology side of media as it has started airing online in late 2006 and had been constructed in 2005. Whereas Google had started in 1998 which is obviously older than the newer website of YouTube. We had used YouTube as it has allowed us to find any video we had needed to help us with creating our trailer. 

Research

We had used technologies such as YouTube and Garage Band when researching for our trailer. We had used YouTube to look at many other horror films to gain ideas of the typical conventions that were involved into the overall outcome of the film and trailer. This was in order to find reasoning's as to why the titles were a specific colour or why that name was chosen in particular for the film. We had used garage band in order to create different songs for our trailer. Having different choices when we had came to finishing our trailer and choosing a track for the music, helped us as we had a few to choose from instead of only having one. This had helped us with being more prepared when our initial trailer is finished allowing us to make a better decision as to which sound we would prefer for the trailer.

Planning

When planning our trailer we had used technologies such as YouTube and Garage Band which had allowed us to search many different sounds in order to generate ideas that we could use in our own trailer. When planning we had also used Microsoft word in order to write down our ideas.
 
Evaluation

During evaluation I had used new media technologies such as Prezie, which had allowed me to present my findings in a different way. Using this technology had also allowed me to expand on my knowledge of new media technologies, I had also used the footpath layout as it had symbolized the journey through the making of our trailer. I had used simple colours in order to make it pleasant and clean to look at. When creating our evaluations we had also recorded audio of us evaluating and had created a short video on our evaluations also putting the relevant picture to back up our points.
