Evaluation Question 4 - How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

In this blog post I will be discussing evaluation question four and which media technologies I used to help me present my research, planning, construction and evaluation.

I have been able to learn so much more about media technologies through this project, form blogging resources to editing software (Adobe). I have become more confident in editing visuals and images and am now able to create convincing photo manipulation and use darker colour correcting schemes. Through blogging I have been able to find many method to share what I have been learning. Blogger has given me a platform to show my steps and by using sites such as Emaze and Slide Share I have been able to demonstrate my findings and journey further.

Evaluation Question 2 - How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

In this blog post I will be discussing how effective the linkage is between our horror movie trailer, poster and magazine.

All together I am proud of all three of the products, they link well and share similarities, through general aesthetic (colour, mis-en-scene, etc.) and content (title, text, etc.). They come together to show the themes of our film (illusions, deception) and link back to out sub-genre of  psychological paranormal with the uses tone and overall look.

Evaluation Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

This blog post will answer evaluation question one, on how we developed, changed and used forms of real media texts in our poster, magazine cover and trailer.
