Final Magazine Advertisement

Here is our final Magazine advertisement.

Above is the original size we created it, however we realised that it wasn't industry standard because it didn't fit a whole or half an A4 sheet. Therefore we edited it into the larger version seen below which fits half an A4 sheet.

Evaluation Question 4

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

Research and Planning

Throughout our construction and research I required mostly the use of the Internet to find the information needed as it provided large amounts of search results in a short amount of time so I could find what I needed quickly, which proved to be very useful particularly in order to keep on track. More specifically I used Google to look for information from various websites and YouTube for videos I used for analysing as search engines for the exploration to aid with my research. As well as this YouTube provided us with the ability to stream our planning and testing videos, such as the lip syncing practice and storyboards, which were created using iMovie and Windows Movie Maker as video editing software.

Construction

For our music video we used iMovie, which is the default video editing software on mac computers, to edit our rough cuts and final movie together. This was an effective program to use because it allowed us to explore a range of editing techniques and gave us quick and easy access to the editing tools we needed to create what we had planned for a final product quickly and efficiently with a good quality final product.  We then used YouTube to upload the video online for streaming, which made the music video easy to access.
For the Magazine advertisement and Digipak we made use Adobe Photoshop in order to edit the images we had taken previously so they would fit the specifications we needed to look like the intended product. Photoshop was useful because it also provided us with a range of tools, which similar programs don't have available at the same standard, so our final product would look more professional and effective.

Evaluation

My evaluation consisted of Windows Movie Maker for Question 1, which was an easy video editing program for me to access at home and simple to use so I could create my evaluation with ease and speed. I also made use of Audacity in order to edit the sound of the video so it would play after scenes from the video were displayed. I then Uploaded this onto YouTube so I could post it on my blog easily.

For Question 2 I used Prezi.com to create a presentation which used animations to present my evaluation visually. It was software which was easy to use and made my evaluation easy to put across.
Question 3 involved the use of Audacity in order to edit my narration so it was clear and fitted with the video. The video itself I edited on Windows Movie Maker so I could combine the sound and video without difficulty.
Finally of course I used Blogger for this question and all the posts of information from my research, planning, construction and evaluation stages which meant I could put my progression across easily and clearly.
