How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and

evaluation stages?

By Alyssa Chhotu

As you could see on the previous slide I used Google Images. I used this when researching different digipaks and posters because I wanted to find out the conventions of them so I would be able to use them on my own products.

The reason why I used Google Images is because it is simple and you get a variety of different pictures and options laid out in front of you.

The reason I used YouTube to search for and post videos onto my blog when doing my deconstruction tasks was because it was a convenient source because it had a variety of “indie rock” genre music videos therefore I didnt have to look through the internet for hours searching.

Another reason why I chose to use YouTube was because when the link is posted onto my Wordpress website it posts the video so it is easy for the viewer of the site to see what it is exactly what I’m talking about..

We used YouTube initially to upload our preliminary task to familiarise ourselves with uploading videos onto it as we planned to upload our future completed task onto there too.

We also used iMovie to edit this task, again, to familiarise ourselves with this platform. This is so we knew what we were doing when it came to our completed task. Also we learned how to add text and got to discover different shot types.
