The montage of pictures above shows all of the media technology that I have used during the making of my film trailer.
Photoshop - In the both of the ancilery tasks I have completed, I have used the photoshop editing suite to help me create my product. For the movie magazine, it has allowed me to easily replicate the syle model that my magazine is already based on. I was able to experiment with the brightness and contrast of the piece, and also the range of text and colours on offer. With the film poster
Garage Band 3 - My group used garage band 3 to allow us to create the musical compositions for our piece. This allowed us to make our own soundtrack that we could then put over the piece, and also allowed us to create the sound effects and the change in the killers voice. We spent a lot of time experimenting with the different sounds on offer, untill we came up with one that created the eerie atmosphere we wanted. Without this software it would have mad the selection of our final soundtrack alot harder.
Flickr - I used flickr as a way of annotating the different images on my blog. This in particular was a huge help as it saved me having to annotate them all by hand and then upload them through the use of a scanner. The website also made it clearer and easier for viewers to see what I had written.
Photography - Photography was a massive part of the construction of my coursework. For the teaser trailer we used a video camera, and for the ancillery products I used a digital camera. Not only did this give us higher quality images but it also helped us to upload the images and film to the computer easily.
Blogger - Blogger has helped me to organise my work in one place, I have been able to upload all of my material I have created which would have been difficult to do if it were handwritten. The use of the website has also meant that it is conviniently accessable for anybody to see.
Youtube - During the early planning stages, I mainly used Youtube as a way of helping me to research up the main conventions that were present within original horror trailers. In particular it helped me because I had little knowledge on horror films in general, and through looking at existing products I was able to see what is most commonly expected. When our product was finished, we also used Youtube as a way of uploading our media product to the world, this has helped us to gain audience feedback and also has opened up the audience for our product.
Final Cut Pro - To edit the flim, my group used the 'Final Cut Pro' software package, which is also used by many top film directors. This helped my group as it gave us access to a fully functional media suite, from this we could then not only create a professional looking product but also expand our knowledge on how to use software of this type.
Develop your answers here. You have not said ANYTHING about Blogger/Flickr etc which was the medium you used for storage of research materials and evaluation of the whole project.
