How did you use new media technologies in th construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
All of the technology that are used in this video are ones that I have learnt when making my three products.
The first section of the video is all about Weebly and the making of the website.
The first thing that I learnt on the website was the setting up of the pages. I needed to know how each page could be constructed, so I could have plenty of pages with plenty of content.
Putting on buttons on the site was important for they were another way of navigating around the site, a direct way of getting to a part of the site that was linked with the page that I was on at the time. The buttons did not just take you somewhere on our site, they can be linked to other sites through hyperlinks.
Images were needed on every page. They were just usually there for decoration, but sometimes they can be used as links to other sites. I have used this technique on the pages explaining the distribution and production companies, because then the visitor can then go directly to the website of the production/distribution by clicking on the photo.
Videos needed to be uploaded to YouTube before I could get them onto the website. During the course of researching and planning my trailer, making and uploading videos were important. This is because every time I made a video, my editing skills were getting better, so when I got to the real thing, my skills were already there.

The next section of the video is about some of the other websites that I have used to make the evaluation questions and website.
Straw Poll was another easy site in which I could make polls on it. The polls could then be imported on to the website, then the audience can fill it out and see the results of the poll so far. This means that the audience can do more physical things on the website and it can be an up to date audience feedback.
Prezi is a website in which you can make a presentation which is like a powerpoint, but it is a lot more interesting. They can move in and out of bubbles, rather than move to the next screen.
YouTube has been a major website in which I have used. Every time I made a video it needed to go on to YouTube before I could get it on to the website. I have learnt that I can add more tags to a video, which means that my trailer can come up a lot more on the suggestions on YouTube.
I have also used other sites that were not mentioned in this video, for I only highlighted some of the sites that I had used. One of the Sites that I used was Jigsaw Planet. This site allowed me to make pictures into jigsaw, which meant that the audience of the site can have some fun. Another site I used was GoConqr. This site allowed me to do lots of things, like mind maps and presentations

The next section is the most important section. It is what we have learnt from Final Cut Pro, the editing programme I used for all my videos.
Titles on videos are useful. Like on the video above I have used titles to show what type of technology is being used. I needed titles on my trailer, so to make it more interesting to the audience
Importing media was super important. If I didn't import media, then I could not have got any of my clips on to the computer or on to YouTube.
The most easiest of things on the programme is to add the clips on to the timeline, for I just needed to drag it onto the timeline. The next easiest of thing is to cut or lengthen the clips. Sometimes I only need part of a clip, so need to cut a clip.
Transitions between clips mean that the clips can run smoothly, without any interruption. Otherwise the video may have the appearance of lagging when it is not, or it looks like the clips are jumping around.
Transforming means that I got clips and made them bigger. I cropped off the edges and only the useful thing were left in the frame.
The ken burns was a useful technique. It meant that you can zoom in to the shot with smoothness. If I did that when filming with the camera, there was a huge chance of it going wrong, or it looking really bad.

The last section is about Photoshop, which is the programme that I used to make my poster and magazine.
Importing photos was very important. It meant that I could have a model on the fount of my poster and magazine. It also meant that I could have a good background to both products.
Adding text Was very important, for the poster needed all the writing on the bottom of it and the magazine needed test, so that the audience could know what was in the magazine.
Adding shapes meant that there could be some excitement on my magazine. the shapes can be used to highlight different words, and it is used as a pug in the corner of the magazine.

In conclusion I have learnt lots of techniques in the production of a trailer, poster and magazine. All of the technology I have used can be used again, and without the technology I used, I could not have made my three products.
