How did you use media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
Technology played a major roll in the production of our print products and music video. For all of our filming we used a Sony mini DV camera. This was an essential part of our music video as it allowed us to catch both the narrative and prefomance in any location we wanted. However we did encounter a few problems as we found it difficult to upload some of our footage and had to convert the file and upload it to youtube before we could include them within our blog.
Before we encountered that problem we used Final Cut Express to cut and edit our music video. I personally found that the programme was difficult to use however the experience from previous projects helped with the software. I soon picked up the cutting although it took some time to work out how to apply the colour selection. Once mastered though the video came together really well. The programme itself created a high quality video that the entire group was please with when editing had finished.
Another software which I used to create my final designs was Photoshop. After having practise in other subjects using the software I created the entire of both print adverts using the software. I mainly used it to edit the images I wanted to use for the adverts however I also used it to create the layout and this is how I accomplished the high quality design that I produced.
An 0.2 Media technology that played a major part within our feedback was Facebook. This was a very simple and easy technology to use and it gave great results. Because it is such a popular social network it was also a piece of technology that gave brilliant results as a lot of people were easily able to comment on our products without going to too much trouble.
Some of the other online technologies that I used within my project was obviously blogger swell as slide share which was used to upload any powerpionts created for my blog. However In my view the best piece of online technology I used was prezi as it allowed me to create quick animated shows that worked really well in displaying information and images.
Overall technology played a vital role in my A2 Media coursework. Technology determinism is a theory that resumes that technology drives the development of society and its social strutter and cultural views. I feel this is something that is proved somewhat within my coursework as I have used technology throughout my project and without the use of technology my project would not have been completed to a high standard or even at all. I think it very much contributed to my outcome however when using sites such as youtube I had no control over the quality of video it produced. Therefore although technology has determined my outcome i feel that the technology used is not always a reliable source.
