Digital media cameras
The digital cameras were another big
object, that have made the making of our
media film possible for students like us.
The fact they are cheap to use and do not
cost lots of money to edit etc means
everyday people can create and edit short
films.
Digital cameras were definitely one of the
biggest influences that allowed us to be
creative within our media product as these are
very inexpensive and easily accessibility to us.
Recording in a digital format let us put video
straight to a computer and do the editing etc,
and the fact it was digital meant we could film
and re film again and again with no extra cost
of anything.

Editing software
Photoshop and Premier Pro were the two
programs we used most with our media
product. They were easily accessible
through school and they are of a
professional standard so using them
benefited us greatly.
The features of both of these programs
are very good, letting us make high quality
images/videos, exporting them in different
formats enabling us to view them in bigger
resolutions or posting them on the
internet.

Photoshop specifically allowed us to

create moving gif images, these were
used to post on the blog and allowed us to
have a moving image for our company
logo instead of a standard still image.

Storyboarding software
The Hitchcock app for the iPhone.

This app let us make our storyboard much quicker, easier

and of a better quality than drawing a normal story board
would. This app was extremely easy to use as we took a
photo on the phone, use the photo in the app and then
label the shot.

The fact you could download it straight from your iPhone

to the computer and use it on the go was also very
helpful, as we could just jot ideas down as they came to
us.
The time this saved
us also allowed us
to rethink ideas and
make it better, so
overall this
technology helped
us greatly
throughout the
project.

The blog was also one of the most useful
media technologies we used, it was something
that helped us during and throughout our entire
project from the research to the evaluation.

It helped us log all of our thoughts and our

ideas, embed test shots, photos, storyboards
and music,

Blogger is one of the versatile media tools we

had at our disposable whilst carrying out this
task of making our short film .

YouTube was also another media
technology we used, this allowed us
to show our film online and get feed
back from people all over the world.

If we were to carry on creating films

and start doing it professionally
youtube we be the best way to
spread our company's name around
and get recognized as film
producers in the media industry.

Web 2.0
Most of these media technologies all owe its creation to web 2.0.

This is how blogger is able to be so successful from me posting on my

blog from any where in the world from my phone or laptop.

Web 2.0 is why people are able to comment on our

Video which we posted on youtube so we can get
feedback.

It is why I can make a storyboard on my

Phone and then upload it straight to my blog
From my phone.

Web 2.0 is a serious advancement in media

Technologies and is helping to push the
Advancement of media products forward.
