Transcript of Question 7 newyk
Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task,
what do you feel you have learnt in the
progression from it to the full product?
Music Magazine Evaluation
Starting my preliminary task
When I first started my preliminary task, I learnt a lot of things such as how to use Photoshop, Wordpress and Prezi I also learnt how to use other websites such as Emaze and other presentation software.
PhotoshopWhen using Photoshop, I have used a range of different tools to be able to create my product. In my preliminary task, I learnt how to use tools such as the move tool, the select tool, the magic wand tool and the clone tool. I also used other tools such as the text tool which allowed me to write my text vertically and horizontally to give my magazine a little originality.
Move toolI used the move tool in my
work when I was placing my different items on my
magazine as well as moving my images aroundThe selection tool
With the selection tool, I was able to select certain parts of my image and I was able to
cut it and also move that around using the move tool.
Magic Wand toolWith the magic wand tool, I was able to select
certain parts of my image and I was able to cut it out and then place it elsewhere without a
background. For example, I used this for my central image when I cut out my image and put it
on a white background. Clone toolI used the clone tool in my work when I
wanted to extend my background or make my background all over
something. For example, I used this in my preliminary task when creating my school magazine and I used the clone
tool to cover up the Little Heath sign on the wall. Text tool
I used the text tool to insert text into my magazine. Even though I didn’t use
any vertical text, I learnt how to change the different types of text if I
wanted to insert them into my magazine.
Wordpress (The Blog)
Throughout my media course, I have used the blog a lot to publish my work. In my preliminary task I learnt how to use a range of tools
to publish my work. Add Media ButtonThis is for when I want to
add media from my computer onto my blog post. I used this when I
wanted to insert my school magazine photos and any other photographs that I
may have wanted to put on the blog.
Visual text boxThis is used when
wanting to write posts on my blog without any
other program involved. I used this for evaluating
one of my Prezis
The text ‘text’ boxThis was used when I wanted to
embed things from other programs onto my blog. I have used this a lot because I have embedded all sorts of things
such as Prezis, YouTube videos and any other presentation software which I have used.
Format BoxThis is used so I was able to
insert a different range of media into
my blog posts
PreziWhen presenting my work, I have used Prezi a lot as it gives my presentations a
lot more edge to it and it is also a lot more original than a plain powerpoint. I have learnt several different tools on Prezi in
order to create my content.When I first started this course, I had never
heard of Prezi and I wasn’t quite sure on how to use it or how to move anything
around so it suited to what I wanted it to be. Now that I have had a lot more
experience with Prezi, I am now able to insert photographs and make transitions
and backgrounds to make my presentations as interesting as possible.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I have learnt a lot from when I started my preliminary task that I was able to use in the making of my music magazine and in the process of presenting my work. Not only will I be able to use Prezi and other software in the future but I will also be able to use Photoshop to make other products or edit my photographs.
