How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

I used http://www.youtube.co.uk/ to help collect ideas for my film and ideas of how to put a teaser trailer together. I watched the Saw teaser trailers to help with the whole torture scene and how to film that, and watched a few gangster teasers to get the way the gangsters should act. I also used http://www.empireonline.com/ to find teaser posters and magazine front covers to annotate for the research and get ideas for my teaser poster and magazine front cover. The use of blogger helped for feedback on ideas and help for ways i could edit and film my teaser trailer. I used adobe photoshop to put together my poster and magazine front cover, it was more complicated to use but gives a better look to the poster and magazine front cover.





For the filming stages i used a camera on a tripod for the final scene for the stability i found using the tripod meant that the shot was steady. using the camera handheld also gave the film a different feel and look to it meaning the trasition between handheld and on a tripod gives the film a better look.





For the editing stages i used adobe premeier elements a more advansed editing software than the editing software in year 12 coursework. the adobe editing software gave ther teaser trailer a better look as the more advansed elements e.g effects, transitions and cutting, meant it would be a more professtional look to it.





the ancillary texts e.g the poster and the magazine front cover, i used adobe photoshop which has alot more elements to it meaning the finished product looks alot better than it would on publisher which is less advansed than adobe photoshop.
