EVALUATIONHow did I use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

RESEARCHDuring research I used the world wide web 2.0

platform, Youtube, and search engines such as

Google and Bing.

As a part of my research I analysed the differences

between the feature length and teaser versions of

two horror trailers, ‘Silent Hill’ and ‘The Omen’,

comparing key content and techniques as well as

trailer length and its affect on the over all trailer.

In order to display and explain my

analysis I was able to embed the videos

onto my blog so as to allow easier

comparison between videos and notes.

Next I went to my

blog post, selected

‘Edit Html’ then

pasted the http

address into the

box. Now publish

post and now the

video is

embedded.

To embed it I found

the video I wanted,

clicked ‘share’on

the bottom of the

video, copied the

http address in the

box and selected

embed.

EMBEDDING VIDEOS

PLANNINGDuring the planning stages of my project I posted thoughts and relevant

research onto my blog via ‘Blogger’. As well as just adding written posts

to my wall some parts of my planning were done on Powerpoint, therefore

I uploaded it to my blog using slide share. This is done the same way as

youtube videos, by embedding them.

This new media technology gas allowed me to display my work and

progress throughout this course in an easily accessible place. In turn this

has helped me to share and develop my work amongst my other students

in my class.

Slideshare, as well

as Youtube and

blogger, are all part

of the web 2.0

media platform.

EVALUATIONAnother new media technology I have used is the social

networking site, Facebook. I used this site to get my

video out to a wider audience in order to get a better

range of feedback on my coursework.

By using Facebook I have been able to bring my trailer

to the attention of a wider audience of people who may

not have come across it on Youtube.
