Q4: How did you use media technologies
in the construction, research, planning
and evaluations?
- RESEARCH
- GOOGLE
- Google is a search engine that has been used throughout my coursework.
The feature allows me to type words that lead on to information and data
that I am looking for. The ability to navigate through a variety of websites,
images and the access to technologies/softwares is a prominent feature
that has helped me throughout my coursework. In addition to this, Google
has advanced search settings and search parameters which allow for
specific information to be retrieved and find results that are accurate and
resourceful.

- YOUTUBE
- YouTube was a platform I used consistently throughout my research and planning.
Having a social networking site to distribute to the audience is a convenient and
effective way to build on the audience. I used YouTube to present my audience
focus group, our film etc. Using web 2.0 I discovered numerous short horror film and
radio trailers/ visual trailers on YouTube, which enabled me to view the content that I
needed in high quality resolution, giving me the chance to produce a high standard
textual analysis. E.g. ABE Short film textual analysis, I was able to watch the short
clip on YouTube and then use Microsoft Word to type up my analysis and cop and
paste it to Blogger.

- BLOGGER
- Blogger is my most used media technology. It is a free online platform that lets you
display your work in a fun, exciting way. It is used to post content, information,
notes, videos and embedded links. This feature has enabled me to embed links from
other technologies and software’s, by copying a link and inserting this component as
a “HTML”, this way I can evidently show my influences. Furthermore, when previewed,
this would be displayed on the blog, which would appear easily accessible for all
viewers. This also helps improve the interaction between any technology posted and
the viewer. It allows me to improve on my organisational skills by changing the
dates and time to structure my blog in chronological order. Blogger has a editing tool
which is very beneficial as through my journey there were a lot of changes such as
film plot or research that didn’t go to plan. This allows me to edit my posts and add
things that are needed.

- EMAZE
- I remotely use Emaze especially to present what I have learnt from research.
Emaze is a website which allows you to create an interactive presentation.
There are a lot of editing divisions and a variety of options to choose from with
manipulating text, inserting videos and images and changing the front, size and
colour of text. Having an interactive presentation is always engaging when shown
or presenting to the target audience. Slides can be added to extend the
interactive presentation. Emaze comes up with seasonal, festival themes which
can work with my presentations around October they had a Halloween theme
which was helpful to incorporate the horror theme on my blog.

- SURVEY
MONKEY
- Survey Monkey is an online survey that allows you to create your own survey,
questionnaire. It is an quick and easy way to get a high rate response and interact
with your audience. I used this to get an idea of what are my audiences’
preferences of Horror films. As a group we created a survey, from the data
collected we can instantly see that the 57.14% of the audience enjoy watching
psychological horror films the most, However, scientific horror was not voted on.
However due to the release of many horror films in 2016 focusing on supernatural,
and religion horror therefore many horror films in cinema are only in these two sub
genres. Perhaps, if there a scientific horror film released in late 2016/ 2017, then the
audience would like scientific horror. Also this results will help us to decide what sub
genre our horror genre should be, either go with today’s convention of horror genres
and use psychological or go against the convention and produce less common sub
genre like scientific h

- TWITTER
- Twitter was very useful when getting audience
feedback. i used twitter as it is a popular social
networking site for my target audience who is
with the age range 15-21, getting feedback from
twitter was beneficial as i was able to target
audience from all over the world not restricting to
one region. Also, many people from different
cultures and background able to give their
feedback which will again help us construct our
production as we also want to challenge
conventions of the western filling. i
- i also used twitter to get critical
feedback from my poster, using
twitter feature voting poll made it
straightforward for me to analyse and
compare my findings as it has given
me numerical data.

- PLANNING
- PREZI
- Prezi is a software, which allows you to create an online presentation. It permits the use of
customising your own presentation by selecting a theme. Within the actual creation of the
presentation you can control the font-style, font-size and colour to your liking. Beside this, you have the
option to create text boxes, add layers of slides and the insertion of images, audio and videos. Prezi has
made me present my ideas in a more simplistic yet exciting way. I used this for various research and
planning, e.g. for my Horror Genre Poster Conventions presentation, where I kept a theme of using
conventional horror theme colours such as red, black, white; showing I can reflect on what I learnt by
presenting ways in which is used.

- WHATSAPP
- Communication is critical in group work. In order to communicate effectively, my group and I
WhatsApp each other. We created a group chat, which originally consisted of Aniqa, Naima and I. The
purpose of the group chat was to plan and discuss any group work and work the other individual may
find difficult to approach or handle. It was effective as we can text each other anytime and if not
everyone is free to meet up, the chat is there were one can catch up with the information. We also can
send links, documents, photos, voice-overs, and videos exchanging media. WhatsApp was also used to
get in contact with our actors and actresses and find out about their availability concerning filming.
Additionally, we used email to communicate, as there were several other pieces of group work that we
needed to email to each other.

- POWTTOON
- PowToon is Web-based animation software that allows users to create animated presentations by
manipulating pre-created objects, imported images, provided music and user created voice-overs. There
are two modes custom mode- which I use, an more complex mode where you can use many tools and
import sound, image etc. it is more free as you are not restricted to one or two tools and can make
your slides very creative with different themes. It is effective as it is much more engaging with the
audience as you can pit an voice over whilst using animations to present your ideas. It is also simple
to export and publish as you can then simply embed the link and copy and paste to blogger html.

- FLIIPBOOK
- Flipsnack is a creative fun way of displaying
your work; it is a digital book, where it turn
pages where your slide comes up. I wanted
to use this media as it is creative and fresh
as it would be boring to only have
presentations and text posts on my blog, it
is more engaging or the viewer as they can
also flip the pages.

- Vimeo is a video-sharing website that allows members to view, upload and share videos. I use vimeo
to distribute my ideas for film, research and planning, preliminary task etc. the site is used by film
makers and creative decision makers who want to share the work, using this platform gives ne the
idea of how people in the industry distribute and share their almost like a film festival. Also it is
another creative way of presenting my work in a high standard video format.

- CANNON DSLR
100D
- Canon DSLR 100D 18-35mm camera
enables me to capture photographs for
my location, practice shots and pictures
for my poster and was also used to
record my short film. Using the DSLR
helped me improve my skills when
taking photographs and filming in a
higher quality. I improved the skills of
using certain shot types and angles e/g/
extreme close up, long shot, low angle
shot. Almost our whole film was
handheld to give the horror effect of
verisimilitude and terror but we used
the tripod a specific scene, where the
protagonist and antagonist finally see
each other, which is shot in a long shot.
Instead of using green screen to shoot
this scene as both roles were played by
the same person. We placed the camera
and tripod in the middle making sure it
is secured and had it running whilst the
actress changed positions two times,
then went on Final Cut Pro to edit the
scene

- PHOTOSHOP
- Photoshop is a software I used consistently to construct my
print products. It enable me to edit and customise
photographs, content, text and other conventions that were
used in the print product. E.g. For Sakkuku as I am creating a
horror poster it involved horror conventions such as red,
black, white and neutral colour theme. Photoshop was a vital
process when constructing our print products, as it allowed
me to push my skills and knowledge of Photoshop to an
intermediate level. I incorporated more editing and
experimenting with specific tools in the Photoshop menu
such as dodging, burning and blurring the figure that was
placed inside the eye, making sure that it looked like a real
reflection and was correctly place above the waterline. I
layered images together to give an overlapped effect and to
create something that unnatural to the eye. E.g. placing the
tree branches images on top of the characters face. Creating
a scary villain look. The gradient effect came to use as it
helped

- FINAL CUT PRO
- Final Cut Pro allowed me to edit and add filters to alter my film. In
addition to this we added fast cutting rates, using the blade tool, which let
me, simply cut clips. I explored the colour grading as I wanted to have a
red filter in my film, so I adjusted the saturation and colour to my liking, I
used transitions such as ‘fade to black’ to give the effects of blinking, final
pro allowed me to use a distinctive effect such as prism, which gave a an
tweak glitch effect which was for the purpose to differentiate the
protagonists and antagonist view. Shortcut buttons on how to synch, copy
and paste effects by simply pressing the apple, shift v key, which saved a
lot of time. And render the footage of the video. Rendering allows us to
upload the footage in our film, so it appears in better quality and also
reduces the size of the overall file, helping for less time-consuming
uploading of files. Overall my skills increased greatly in rendering, editing,

- CELTX
- Celtx is an all in one system for video
and film planning, designed for creating
and organizing media projects like
screenplays, films, videos, stageplays,
audio plays, documentaries, machinima,
comics, games and podcasts. Celtx uses
an industry standard screenwriting
editor typical for screenplays,
stageplays, AV scripts, comic books, or
radio plays. Celtx also includes a rich
text editor module for writing novels.
Scripts can be uploaded to the Celtx
Exchange for public viewing, peer
reviews and commentary. My main use
for celtx was for my film script, celtx
was convenient to use as it
automatically put my characters
dialogue in the middle, my heading and
location outlined on top etc. al the
features that a professional film script
in the industry consist of. Thus my film
script was a high standard script
thanks to this software.

by Apple Inc. It claims
to be the largest
collection of modeled
instruments, sampler
instruments, effect
plug-ins, and audio
loops ever put in a

used many sound
effects, editing was
precise as we had it up
on a big screen and
overall quality was
good.

- Soundcloud is a user generated website that allows the sharing,
uploading and the distribution of sound. I used Soundloud to
upload and transfer a voice note of me answering one
questions – the sound was directly recorded either from my
phone or a dicataphone and transferred to the Soundcloud app. I
also used Souncloud because a lot of musically talented people
put their songs and productions on the platform to promote
themselves and I hoped I would gain access to a sound that
would be suited to the first part of our trailer.

- imovie is an editing software that lets you edit, it is an simple easy way to construct your project with the
straightforward tools. I used this for my experiment with horror as I got a bunch of videos putting them together and
editing them, using distinctive filters, cutting and fast forwarding the clips producing a horror like short film. This was
effective as it runs without any wifi connection, meaning I can use it anytime and anywhere. It also is quick exporting
the file and uploading straight to YouTube and Vimeo.
