Evaluation Question Number 4

By: Daniyal Sattar

Q.4 How did you integrate technologies – software,

hardware, online this project?

Camera

Major part of this project was the photographs. Having a good selection of photographs will ensure a more professional and better looking magazine. Using the Sony DSLR-A290 camera allowed me to explore different settings, ensuring me the best results possible. Certain settings including using Night mode and Flash when taking photos in darker areas. The Zoom on the camera allowed me to take photos of many different aspects of the model. This camera allows you to use manual adjustments which ensures that you can adjust the camera in order to suit the setting and time. Certain features include: light exposure, mega pixel, resolution and facial recognition. Being able to use this camera any time I wanted was very beneficial.

SD card, Pen Drive and CDs/DVDs

One of the main part in this project was to handle all the material. So I used SD cards, pen drives and CDs/DVDs on several occasions which helped me to create a backup of my work and also helped me to transfer of carry huge amount of data.

Photoshop

Having NEVER used Photoshop before, It took me a while to get the hang out it. Once I learnt about some of the features, it was frequently used in the editing of my photos, allowing me to have creative control. Through the use of the Photoshop, I learnt how to use various features such as The Clone Stamp Tool: This tool allowed me to get rid of blemishes and smooth out the backgrounds of the photos. I used this tool a lot during the process. At the beginning, I was not sure on how to use it properly but as I used it more, I became confident and happy using it for the improvement of my photos. Contrast and Brightness Adjustment: These adjustments allowed me to directly edit the photo itself. This meant that I was able to draw more attention to my models allowing their features to stand out more. Both adjustments sharpen the photos and this was extremely beneficial to me during the process.

Here I used Adobe premier for my music video editing. At the start I faced many difficulties to use it but with the help of tutorials and internet I was able o cop up and use it. This was the main stage of my project.

Blogger

At first, It was very hard to get the hang of using Blogger as it was again, something I have NEVER used before. After my preliminary task, I began to Understand it more. I was able to Post and Create successful labels on each post. Although it was hard to get my layout sorted at first, It began to take shape allowing me to work successfully on my posting.

SlideShare

Slideshare Used for evaluation Questions and other presentations. Slideshare was a useful side that allowed me to insert a Power Point presentation onto my blog. I think it has allowed me to present my work through an interesting and professional form of media.

Conclusion

Overall I feel that all of the technology that I used helped me to gather new skills as well as making it easier to complete my work on this project while making everything look as professional as possible. From editing pictures, taking pictures, uploading documents and everything.
