1. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

2. During all stages of the project I have used various different types technology from Facebook to PowerPoint to Sound Cloud. I now will o through all he different types of media I have used throughout the explaining why, I’s effectiveness, how it helped.

3. I used YouTube within my research and planning stages, mainly for posting relevant videos like movie trailers and instructional videos on to my blog(wordpress) as well of videos of myself describing and summarising parts of my work, I find it more effective to have a video of me talking and explaining certain things because it shows that I understand what I am talking about when I verbally explain it rather than when I write it, for when It’s written it could just be taken from a website site or copy and pasted but visually in the video you can see me thinking and actually analysing things while I’ll explain something in the video. • I also used YouTube to show interviews of audience feedback because watching and listening to people actually answering the question is a lot better visually rather than just viewing the answers in a chart or survey. • YouTube was also great for interlinking with other media I could place videos straight onto my blog (Wordpress) or onto my Wix or Prezi

4. Prezi is a interactive presentation software which allows you to create visually interesting presentations online, it is effective because you can interlink other media likes images and YouTube clips, and Soundcloud audios which was useful in making my overall presentation be more creative and appear not more professional but more of a high level than a PowerPoint, it offered visually attractive presentations due to zooming and animation on website. • I Used Prezi within the Evaluation, Research and planning stages of my project.

5. Wordpress the blogging site is where I all my work throughout all stages of this project is placed online, it is really helpful because if needed I can get instance feedback because people can comment on anything I post so if needed I could have constant audience feedback. It is useful because it keeps all my work all together and the website presents it in a way that is easy to follow. • It also interlinks well with all the media I have been using so if I can place videos from YouTube and sound bits from sound cloud directly onto Wordpress as well as being able to place simple links to my Prezis and Wix and even PowerPoint, there is even a function on there where I can upload images on there an then they become a automatic moving gallery.

6. I used search engines like Wikipedia and IMDB for the same reasons within the research aspect of my project to solely find out information about films, actors, directors promotional packages and general information regarding the process of creating a successful promotional package. • I will then transfer these facts in point with other pieces of the project as quotes or as a source of information

7. Photoshop was used within the construction stages of the project so I can edit images I took to make my Magazine Cover. • It allowed me to fulfil the full potential when creating images for my magazine cover • I have used it before so it’s pretty easy to use due to the prior experience.

8. All recordings and Photos were taken on a Digital SLR Camera, for high quality and HD stills and visuals I find it really helpful to make all work within out promotional package have that professional look and then combined with Photoshop to give it that Professional finish. • The camera is easy to use and due to the fact I do a lot of photography prior know how to use the camera.
