Evaluation part 4

How did you use media technologies in the planning, production, and evaluation stages?

The technologies i have used to get to my final product are;

• Blogger
• i movie
• pixlr.com
• moonfruit
• Youtube

Blogger was used to upload all of my work onto in a certain format. I have experienced many difficulties when using blogger, for example rearranging the order of my posts has been difficult and i still haven't been able to overcome this. Also when it came to uploading images it would only accept certain formats meaning i had to keep uploading until i found the correct one which was usually a jpeg. However i preferred using blogger to having to print and word process all of my different documents.

I used i movie to put my trailer together and edit it. This is the programme that was most helpful to me when making my trailer. I experienced many problems with this such as my sound would keep disappearing meaning me having to upload this all again. Overall my experiences were quite good, i feel that it was the right programme to use, to make my trailer look the best it could. Another problem was that when i went to upload it to youtube it wouldn't let me do this from the MAC software i had to export it then upload it on a windows computer.

I used pixlr.com to design my poster and also the typography that went onto my poster and my trailer and also my website. This website was very easy to use and had many different affects and filters that i played around with until i was happy with my design.  However due to how many different effects there were i feel that i could have made my typography even more effective.

Moonfruit was helpful to help me create my website which was one of my ancillary texts. It took me a while to get used to the software and i  had problems like, images and text going missing meaning having to upload this again, which put me behind on my targets. However after learning how to use it it was very easy and sufficient for what i needed it for.



I used youtube to upload my video. Although having difficulties uploading from certain computer and certain formats, i finally found the correct format to do this and then it only took a couple of minutes to complete the process. This is a way that i would advertise my trailer to my audience. If i had uploaded it earlier the comments would have been useful for my audience feedback, however this wasn't the case.
