Question 4How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation?
The use of the use of media technologies was primarily used within the project for linking ancillary and primary pieces with the forms and conventions of both the genre and the design of the pieces. For the main poster the software is Photoshop was used for creating the main image and layout of the poster. This was used for the purpose of it being the easiest software to use for creating posters, especially when they are not text heavy and does not require a lot of text formatting. Although the poster does hold areas in which text is present, they are not the main details of the poster. Yes, the main title can be seen as a main detail, but this was a separate image that was created outside of Photoshop. Using Photoshop for this title only involved having the title cropped and reshaped, yet another reason why I used Photoshop and not another software, as the editing of images was the easiest with Photoshop. Photoshop was the more appropriate software to use for non-text heavy pieces such as the poster.
As for pieces that were text heavy, the double page spread, that used the software that is Adobe InDesign, this is a software that is primarily used for text heavy articles and allows easier access to formatting settings that would be found within articles than software like Photoshop. It allows the format of the double page spread to be even and flow smoothly in the easiest manor possible, whilst it does allow the creation of posters, and the editing of images, it is primarily used for the article making. How this allowed me to keep with the forms and conventions of the double page spread was by having the appropriate settings to allow the positioning of the text boxes and allow more variety within text. It also allowed me to have the upper cased starting letters of paragraphs, which is one of the many things that Photoshop did not allow. Within the construction of the film, Premier Pro was used. This was the most advanced option allowed for more effective editing for the film, more than formats like windows Moviemaker. It allowed the use of colour distortions, and also voice over and changers to be present within the film.
