How did you use media technologies in the construction and

research, planning and evaluation stages?

The Internet and the World Wide Web

Nowadays, the internet can provide us with lots of information and it enormously helped me in producing my documentary, poster and radio trailer. As it provided me with lots of essential data for those projects.

It goes without saying that Google was the main web-site for searching useful data as it puts most popular links on first lines my search was very fast.

I used Google to:

• Research existing fashion posters

• To find links to similar documentaries

• To evaluate previous students work

• To find pictures to illustrate my work

I used YouTube to:

• Research other students work

• Watch existing “real” documentaries

• Upload my own work (linked to Wordpress)

• Add clips to my own presentations

I also used the movie databaseIMDb

This was very useful for the searching needed type of documentaries and investigate how theyused posters.

I think that my documentary would not be the same without the proper research which I have done on WORDPRESS.COM , there you can see all the auditions and preparation for filming.

Moreover, IMDb was very useful for the searching needed type of documentaries and creating poster alike to them.

YouTube gave me wide knowledge about different documentaries types and other details as titles, music mostly use and the narrator’s role.

In addition, iPlayer gave me opportunity to watch tremendous amount of different documentaries series on BBC3 what means to be up to date with their new programs.

• Wikipedia was very helpful, for researching different documentary types and other technical terms.

• Moreover, there I have also read about fashion documentaries and there I have found different posters as well as on IMDb.

Furthermore, I have used SLIDESHARE.COM, GOANIMATE.COM and PICMONKEY.COM for making my blog more creative and interesting as without those web sites you would not see any animation or Power Points or even framed photos with different 3D effects thus the only what I could use would be plain pictures and it’s description.

On my documentary I have used four different tracks, which I have found on FREESOUND.org as this web-site offers huge number of different tracks, sound effects, songs, sounds for free and without any copyright agreement.

Another very useful web site for me was FACEBOOK as there I have found different boys for auditions of the main subject. Moreover, there I found audience feedback.And other useful data for evaluation questions.

Digital Hardware

iPHONEI have used iPhone for making picture of Danila and Stephaney during working, filming them for some evaluation and blog pages. In addition, I have filmed Danila in the 3D studio on the iPhone video.

Digital cameraI filmed my documentary on digital camera with digital sound recorder, moreover, I took a lot of pictures on same camera, which provides with a very good quality, which looks more bright and vivid rather that iPhone’s.

Digital sound recorderI have recorded all the sounds on digital sound recorder, which made all the dialogs and monologs very clear and simple for understanding.

Editing and Post ProductionSoftware

POST PRODUCTION.

SONY VEGAS.

I have made my film on Sony Vegas program, which consists a lot of different effects and animation which I have mostly used in the beginning and in the end of the film. (you see it on the BBC3 label)

PhotoshopMy poster was done on the Photoshop as this program provides with many different effects within which my poster became very professional and close to BBC3 type of posters. Furthermore, with it I have created a lot of different images, explaining my whole process of work.

iMovieFor lots of research pages I have been working on iMovie program as it is very simple in usage and many different effects which made simple videos more fun.
