Evaluation

Question 4: How did you use new media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

As I chose to do the film opening for my AS coursework, none of the technology used for the construction of my trailer was new to me. However, though I was familiar enough with the technology to teach the other members of my group how to use them, I still learnt from working with the technology, as I learnt to use the technology in a more advanced way, particularly Final Cut Pro and Photoshop. Similarly, in the planning and evaluation stages, I was already familiar with the technology I used, such as Prezi and Slideshare to present my research, SurveyMonkey to conduct audience feedback, various Internet sites to conduct research and the use of a camera to both conduct market research and film our group evaluation.
Ultimately, I was able to expand my skills in filming, editing and sound to a higher level, which although was not new to me, was effectively a learning experience.
