How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
- 2. Overall in our media work we used a range of different media technologies in our production work to make sure that what we was producing was to the top standard which it could be. We used a range of media technologies including cameras, the studio, lights, radio, editing programmes, etc.
- 3. Firstly, when we were planning out our documentary we made a production meeting. For this production meeting we filmed it using a camcorder. However as we all needed to be on the video we used a tripod to keep the camera still so that we could film ourselves on the video. Also when planning we used the internet to search for recent documentaries which had been published so that we could research the different types and then could form a basis for the plan and style of documentary we used. The main media technology site we used was YouTube as this has a huge range of videos which we could use to access research. When we were editing our production meetings we used the programme Adobe Premier to do this. This allowed us to cut out any parts which was not necessary so that the whole meeting was straight to the point.
- 4. When we were recording the band playing for our documentary we used two different cameras to do this. We used a camera which we placed on the tripod so that we could get a continuous straight still shot throughout the whole performance and then we also used another camera so that we could walk about and use different shots of the band playing so that when we edited the shots together we would have a range of shots which flowed together. We also used a hand held camera to film ourselves filming the band so that we could make our own documentary about ourselves filming to put on our blog. We did this so that we had evidence of what we did and therefore it acted as good evidence of our production for our blog. When we were at the first venue of our filming we decided to film the band and interview them for our documentary. We used the large camcorder for this however because we wasn’t sure if the volume of the cameras would be the best then we also used a voice recorder to record the interviews so that we could place this over the top of our film, which is similar to current music documentaries as the sound needs to be as clear as possible to make sure that it looks professional. We also used the lighting in the venues; we changed the lighting so that we could get different shots at different lighting as the night went on. When we had finally collected all of our recording we edited it on Adobe Premier. This is a professional editing programme which we included sound and effects on to make sure that our product looked as similar as possible.
- 5. When we were producing the print, we used google to search for different magazines so that we could get an idea of what we wanted to produce. We found this a helpful resource as we could find prints from many years ago. We used a camera to take pictures of Thom for our print; we also used the studio to do this. This was a really useful resource as we could change the lights in the room to suit the shot we wanted. We also used the props in the room to add effect as in most print they do include props, e.g. chairs. After we had taken our pictures of Thom we then had an interview with him by himself. We used the voice recorder to record this so that we could listen to it back and pick out the best parts to include. We saved all of our pictures on an SD card as they could then be uploaded onto any computer. We edited our pictures on Adobe Photoshop. We changed the size of the page to make sure that it would appropriate and we made sure that the size of our font was 11, as from our research online we found that this is the size which most magazines use. We used different effects which were available on the programme and when we was writing down the interview answers we played back the recorder as it was a lot more useful then writing down what they said as we could see what words they emphasised and how they pronounced things.
- 6. When we was preparing our radio production we first listened to the radio as a group and then we went away and listened to different radio stations ourselves so that we could all get a broad idea. We also listened to radio ads on YouTube as it was rare on the actual radio there was one which was so relevant to our production. We used the studio to record, we used microphones and headphone and the programme Audacity. We used to microphones so that our voices where as clear as possible and the headphones so that we could hear exactly what we would sound like. We edited our advert on Audacity as it was the best programmer which we had heard on to do this.
- 7. When we had finished our entire product we used social media site Facebook to upload our final production so that our peers could comment on what they thought about it. We also emailed our print work to people and asked them about their opinions so we could receive constructive criticism.
