Transcript of Presentation on technologies
Home Learning
During the foundation project, I have used technologies such as my
Apple Mac Book Air, I could then have easy access to Photoshop. It
is also very easy to navigate around and is much faster than PC’s
in my opinion.
I also used my I phone 5 to transfer pictures I had taken with my phone,
onto my laptop. I also used my mobile as a search engine and
researched quick and easy to come up with ideas of iconic signs I
would include in my magazine.
I used a DSLR Nikon Camera to photograph Jade Mason (my model)
for the images I was to include in my Pop magazine.
I used PowerPoint to develop my Recce task and then used software
called slide share, which was easy to then upload to blogger.com.
This helped things to look more organized, professional and neat.
I also used Prezi for tasks such as the costume design and risk
assessment. This made everything so much less complicated to
organize, I knew exactly where everything was and could easily
refer back to it without any trouble!
I used Microsoft Excel which contained my questionnaire results in
spreadsheet form, this was after I had done my questionnaire using
Google docs.
I then used Powtoons to explain and analyze my Questionnaire results,
I found this extremely difficult and sensitive to use. It had no undo
button and lacked in easy access. I think it’s also very slow
software and doesn’t have much choice.
I used Microsoft word to develop my Evaluations, and write notes in.
This is simple and easy to use, and is very easily accessed.
I also used YouTube when searching for performances so that I could
analyze the pop performers in order to match my models body
language with the pop artists.
I have used sound cloud also to upload my evaluation through a voice
over track and to produce that voice over track I used garage band.
I used tools in Photoshop to produce my copy of another magazine
such as when creating the rolling stone logo, (Rolling Stone) I
removed the background of the images then it would have been the
magic wand tool that I used to do it. I have used the text tool to
write the masthead and cover lines, and also used the shape tool to
create the lines in between the cover lines.
There are some limitations however with the technologies I chose to
use. For example, I can’t use YouTube, sound cloud; slide share,
prezi or Powtoons, without the Internet. Which makes it very difficult
to access all the time. These types of software are also very
sensitive to use I find, and need a lot of patience. There is a lot of
attention to detail needed, and I took that on board and took my
time.
Need access to
Photoshop however once downloaded to
your computer can be used anywhere and everywhere,
although there is a price to pay for the software,
you do get your monies worth.
What will I do next?
During future controlled assessments, I wish to use more advanced
technologies including a better quality camera, preferably the
cannon… I would also use a Video camera, during the whole of my
process of the controlled assessments and so this will show me a
detailed process of the tasks I encounter. I would also use final cut
pro in hope that it would be easier to use and leave me with a better
ending product.
