Technology (Hardware/Software)

Hardware -

  • I used Macs because they were easy for me too access at school. At first I found them difficult to use but by A2 level I think I got the hang of it. They are much more enhanced then the Windows computers for media. I found the Windows computers very basic when using for media related work, which is fine for AS level but when it came to A2 I'm happy I did not use the computers too create a video as I think it would have looked alot worse. I used the Macs for everything during A2 as my skills progressed whilst using them.
  • When out of school I did have to use my Windows laptop at home, but that was only to access my iTunes to transfer clips I had videoed on my iPhone, and too access to the internet - Blogger.
  • I used my iPhone to capture clips during A2, I found my iPhone's quality of picture looked similar too the Video Cameras at my school so I felt it would just be easier to use my iPhone as I will always have access too it and have it every day.
  • I often used a memory stick to transfer my documents/products between my home laptop and the Macs at school.

Software -
  • I used Microsoft Publisher too create my Digipak. I found Publisher easy to use but only because since year seven this is the program we have been taught to use for creative products.
  • I used iMovie for my music video. This is where I put my music video together, uploaded my video from on to Blogger and experimented with different effects and sounds.
Internet Pages -
  • I used Blogger.com too upload my coursework on too since AS level. This is why I continued too use Blogger because I was familiar with this site. I used Blogger throughout my Planning, Construction and Evaluation process.
  • I used Google as my main search engine because it is the search engine I have always used and become familiar with. It always has the information or images you are looking for without all the advertisements.
  • I used Facebook to upload my video on too which people "Liked" and found funny. This is how I knew that my product had the effect on audiences the way I wanted it too.
  • I used Youtube too access real and previous media texts people had created and ACTUAL music videos.
