In order to complete my coursework, I used a variety of
forms of media technologies that gave my coursework a professional finish. In
particular, I used Microsoft such as Publisher, PowerPoint and Word, editing
software’s such as Serif movie maker and Photoshop. The internet was just as
useful to help me complete my coursework which allowed me to explore many
useful websites.

Point which is another media technology that allowed me to present my results on to different slides, using graphs allowing me to design my work in my own way. Questionpro and the ability to search online improved my project as I was able to reach a much larger sample as Questionpro allowed me to conduct a search in a much shorter time than doing it on paper which is seen to be time consuming. The ability to search online from via google also helped speed up the process and provide me with an enormous amount of research options which helped me make my decision.
For my research stage, I primarily used Microsoft word, which is a software that allowed me to create my ‘Call sheet’ which helped me be more organised on the days of my shoots. I also used Microsoft word to help me create a written essay of the narrative of my story in relation to theory, along with genre. I was also able to create my synopsis on word which was beneficial as it helped me understand of any errors or mistakes I had made, and was easily adaptable if I had made mistakes. I also created my shooting script on here which I had created a table, which was also easy as it was easily adaptable if the size was not correct, I could also choose front a variety of font styles, sizes and colours, which gives me a wide range of choice.

The images and film title that were used for my poster and magazines where edited using Adobe Photoshop. This software allowed me to use a variety of different tools in order to give me a professional finish to all my images. I used tools such as the ‘magic tool’ which allowed me to select certain elements to my image that I wanted to change the colour to. For instance the image for my poster front cover shows a red tear drop on top of a black and white image. In order for me to colour in the red tear drop to change it I had used the eyedrop tool which allows me to select the same colour as the skin, in which i can therefore fill in the red tear drop.
Here I was able to fill the background in black in order to reinforce an idea of the villain hiding behind her own hair, which was done by using the colour black and a spray painting tool which enabled me to apply this effect. This idea of the villain hiding could help reinforce the narrative at the fact the villain is hiding from the characters, in which later she shows her identity, which is portrayed within the image as half of her face is showing.


This then gave me a professional horror genre look finish to my image, I was also able to highlight the eye of the character in the image by using the tool 'quick selection', in which I had then made crystal white in order for it to stand out against the black and white image.

The typography for my film title was found on a font website
called ‘dafont.com’, which expressed many different categories of fonts, in
which we then we decided to look into the horror category. After analysing many
different potential title typographies, we decided upon one. We decided to
choose the one we have due to the dripping blood effect underneath each letter,
which resulted in a gory effect, instantly reinforcing the genre.
This here shows how media technologies such as Photoshop and Microsoft Publisher allowed me to construct both my magazine and poster. I w as able to use Photoshop which allowed me to change the colour of the image and fill the background black. Although by using Microsoft Publisher this allowed me to put together my final poster and magazine, and add in my finished image from Photoshop.

Furthermore, for my evaluation stage, I was able to use slideshare which allows me to post my presentations and turn them into a slideshow, which I believe is a neater way to present my research on my blog. Also, in order to find qualitative data I did use social media websites such as Facebook, but I also got some qualitative feedback of those in my college, and those who are a part of my media class, which gave me a wide range of different opinions. I also posted my trailer onto social networking sites such as YouTube in order to receive feedback from my audience in which I was able to view the variety of different opinions. YouTube is a website that is commonly used by teenagers which is beneficial to me as this puts my trailer at an advantage as there is more of a chance my The blog itself is somewhere where I have posted all my research planning and my actual products on which is also able to be seen from my target audience. I also used Prezi, which is another slideshow known for their zooming presentation software allows me to present my work in different ways. I believe this is a neat and presentable way to represent my work, and it enables me present my work in different ways which can be fun and exciting.
