Technologies!

MAC & PC

Through the process of production, research and planning I have used a Mac, this is to make my film on and edit my photos, this was during lesson times. I have also used an advent laptop to construct my magazine cover and dvd cover on.

INTERNET

Throughout planning and research the internet played an important part. I used two different browsers, safari and firefox, this is due to the two different computers I was using. I used this to google to search for magazines and dvd covers to analyse.

BLOGGER

Blogger is used to host my research, planning and my construction. I used this to write about my research and planning, adding photos and film for my construction.

Presenting it on this platform makes it easy to access and read. It is also using new technologies. The above screenshot shows a snap shot of my blog and how I’ve organised it. Adding labels to my posts to see which elements they come under.

SOCIAL NETWORKING

I have used social networking to ask for feedback into my drafts of ancillary tasks and main product, this allowed me to target my target audience quickly as on facebook and twitter I have mostly people of the age my product is aimed at.

YOUTUBE

I have used Youtube to find existing children’s tv drama title sequences and also to host my own product which is demonstrated above.

WWW.JAMENDO.COM

I used Jamendo as it was a royalty free music website which would allow me to use music without being any copyright issues, I searched for indie pop as this is a genre suited to a younger audience. I came across this artist Tymphony and used a song called I’m way too happy which even the title of this song suggests that it would be an upbeat song suitable for a children’s title sequence.
