What media technolgies did i use in the construction , reaserch and planning and evaluation stages.

During the construction , research , planning and evaluation stages of making my media product i used lots of media technolgies.

FOR EXAMPLE

Indesign





I used indesign to make my tv listings , i found it hard at first but when i got the hang of it i found it simple and easy to use. I used textboxes for my listings and used swatches and strokes to change the colours. Indesign was a good programme to use as it is sometimes used in industry and it was simple to construct the tv listings.

• Photo Shop

I used photoshop to do my Radio Poster , this was because i found it easier to use and edit the poster. i changed the tint of the background to a more calming orange. I added the text in different font sizes. I did some research on posters and most of them had 1 line reviews praising the radio drama so i added one. I put the radio 4 sign in the corner of the poster , i had to edit this so that it looked more professional.

• Digital Camera

We had alot of fun taking photos for our poster , i think the end photo was really effective as all our emotions really showed the characters emotion. We took photos with Simon Jess and Chris and ME. Kieran took them , he is good at photography. There was about 150 pictures we took all together but the one we used really stood out and i knew straight away that would be on my poster. Other people in my group used this photo also.

• Sound track pro

We used sound track pro to edit our radio drama this was a lot easier than i originally thought! i had never used sound track pro , but i quickly picked it up and edited and found sound effects!We deleted many parts of our radio drama and parts we didnt need and bits we recorded ,more than once. We had to change the voice levels. We then added all our sound effects. We all helped with each part of the editing. It took longer than expected and some people from my group had to come in during the holidays to finish editing.

• Mac Computers

I used Mac computers to do all my research and type up my part of the script.

These media technologies really helped in the making of our radio drama!!
