In the construction of our movie trailer we used a variety of different media technologies, the programmes that we used was IMovie, Photoshop, YouTube, Facebook, garage band and Mac computers just to name a few. Each of the different software's allowed our group to create our trailer, poster and magazine cover. We used the Macs throughout the duration of our project as it allowed us to create all of our projects on one computer. Before we started to create our trailer we had to research so we used mostly the Microsoft products to help us put all of our research together before transferring it onto our blogs. We also used the Microsoft products to help us plan and evaluate our media product.
All of the different software help use at different stages of our media product for example Microsoft PowerPoint allowed us to collect a range of different film movie poster putting them together to make it much more easier to compare the with other and talk about the different conventions that each of the posters have. Microsoft also allowed is to create a questionnaire that we gave out to our target audience to ask for their advice which then helped is to create our narrative
What Photoshop allowed us to do is create our film magazine cover and our movie poster, as a group we all decide that we would all do our own jobs I was in charge of creating the poster and magazine, as the other members in the group felt like they was as experience in using the software and they felt like I was the strongest member. Even though I was the maker of both the magazine and the poster Lauren and Rebecca still had some input on what they wanted both of the products to look like. We all had different jobs to do as we felt like it if we done this we would be able to get all the different task done and done on time because we would be spending more time on them to make them the best that they could be.
Using the mac was the best option for us to use when we was constructing our media products, for example when we was constructing our film trailer iMovie was the best option because we felt like it had the best transitions, titles and it was a much easier programme to use and upload to. Both YouTube and IMDB helped us when we was researching what we wanted our genre of our trailer to be and once we had chosen it also helped us to look at the conventions of our genre. What YouTube also allowed us to do was upload our film trailer onto the site and get feedback from people to see if they liked it and to also get comments if they didn't like anything and why so when we went back to the trailer we could change these problems. The main reason why we wanted to do this was because we wanted our target audience feedback to see what they thought about what we had produced and if we could change it in anyway so it suited them more and they liked it more. This help our group a lot with producing our trailer because they people who we got reviews from helped us a lot to make our media product better. The camera that we used to film our trailer were digital standard cameras this aloud use to create the handheld camera effect to give the idea of a hand filmed documentary which we wanted and in the end this was successful. Overall the media technology that we used allowed us during the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages to create a well made movie trailer, poster and magazine.
