planning and evaluation stages?

RESEARCH

Internet

SlideShare was a great platform to use for my PowerPoints as it allowed me to easily embed them onto my blog so that the PowerPoint can easily be viewed through the blog without having to open up another program.

I used YouTube a lot during the research stage of my production as it was another great platform to use to view existing media products so that I could learn from theirs to make a successful product.

Pinterest was a great inspiration source to my research as it enabled me to discover new ideas and possibilities that I wouldn’t have thought of before. It also allowed me create mood boards really quickly that contained key bits of information that impacted my research.

One of the things that I learnt about PowerPoint was the way it could record lots of information in a clear way that looked professional and could be viewed with ease.

The internet played a huge part in the research section of my production as it gave me access to further my reading, to find out and learn more about the product I was trying to create so that it was as successful as it could be.

Word was a simple app that allowed me to display my research that I had conducted, it made viewing my work very simple and easy.

more creative within the display methods of my work, making it more professional. Another benefit to using Photoshop was the ease of exportation; you can choose what type of file you export depending on your needs.

Emails were an important part to the planning stage as I was able to keep in contact with team members and communicate with people who were affected by the production like teachers, site managers and staff.

Prezi was a great presentation tool to create creative and visually exciting presentations that looked professional and hold lots of information. It was also very easy to share the presentations that I had created and embed them onto my blog.

I used messenger a lot during the planning stages of the productions so that I could quickly contact my team members so that we can update each other and so that everyone could be informed just by checking their phone rather than having to open their emails; it was much quicker.

I used a digital camera to film my production as it would make the overall product look more professional due to the high quality adding to the success of the product.

Using a tripod allowed me to capture clear and perfectly still shots that could portray the emotion without viewers being distracted by a shaky camera. The tripod also enabled us to be more creative with what shots we took as we had more ability like pans, dolly's, close ups, ect.

Adobe premiere pro allowed me to create a creative and successful music video due to the endless possibilities of creative edits that other editing programs don’t have like Window’s movie maker.

EVALUATION

SlideShare

PowerPoint

Word

I used PowerPoint within the evaluation stages as an easy way to present my answers in a clear and

professional way, one thing that I learnt about PowerPoint was the way it could record lots of information in a clear way. Using PowerPoint

allowed me to use SlideShare to share my PowerPoints on the internet where other people

could benefit and teach themselves through other people’s PowerPoints.

As my PowerPoints were uploaded to SlideShare it allowed me to easily embed them onto my blog

so that the PowerPoint can easily be viewed through the blog without having to open up

another program. In order to do this I had to google and teach myself how to embed the PowerPoint, after I learnt how to do it, the

process was easy and made my blog look more professional.

Wix was used throughout the construction of my music video to hold all of my work for the

project. Having a blog allowed me to access all of my work in one place with ease. As I developed

more skills, I could be more creative with my blog and make it look more professional by adding my

own photos, embedding my work and creating clear pages for my work to belong to.

Word was a simple app that allowed me to display my research that I had conducted, it

made viewing my work very simple and easy. It also allowed for me to easily create documents that held more than one piece of work. For my

evaluation I was able to include images and references to other texts which allowed my

work to contain a lot more information.
