technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages?

3. The computer was the main aspect in the
making of our teaser trailer. We used the
computer in many ways which is shown in the
next slides. The computer has helped us in the
research and planning, as well as the making of
the trailer. If the trailer had been made 10
years ago using the computer, we would have
been able to use the Internet, however we
would not have been able to use the specific
software on the Imac.

4. Garageband
This software was not available 10 years ago, meaning the song or
tune we wanted to create would have had to be created manually
and recorded. Compared to 10 years ago it is quicker to create
music using software such as Garageband, as it has ready made
songs and tunes installed in the software. (figure 1), Garageband
has a score once you have created your track so it is easier to edit
and delete singular notes. This is different to 10 years ago as you
would have had to write out the score with a pen and paper,
which would have been time consuming and harder to edit.
Imovie
To create a movie without this software, means you would have to
video your film manually and would not been able to edit and cut
the clips. (figure 2) Also it would have been harder to add music
and effects. To add music you would have had to record the music
whilst filming. The outcome of the movie would not have been
very good, as you would have not been able to perfect it.
LiveType
LiveType is specifically designed to create titles and credits, using a
variety of fonts and effects. The title is important in a film since it
gives the audience a clear idea of the genre. Not having software
similar to this 10 years ago, would have been difficult as it would
not have had any effects or transitions.

5. Photoshop
The first real version of Photoshop 1.0 arrived in 1990 with basic
photo editing filters and adjustments. (figure 3) We used
Photoshop for our magazine and poster designs, for example
taking a screenshot from our trailer and editing it onto Photoshop .
It would have been harder to use 10 years ago as we used the
quick selection tool to add another image in the eye by using
layers, which was not possible in this software.
Iphoto
We used Iphoto to export our clips onto Imovie. (figure 4) We
would not have had this 10 years ago, meaning we would not have
exported any of the clips. This would not have been a big issue 10
years ago because you would not have had the software to edit the
clips.
Itunes
We used Itunes to import music and sound recordings onto Imovie.
(figure 5) If music was to be included in the trailer 10 years ago,
they would have added the music as they were recording the clips.

6. Digital Camera
We used the digital camera to film the clips for the trailer which we then imported onto the computer. The digital
camera was in HD and it included different types of settings such as lighting and zoom. If the trailer was to be
recorded 10 years ago, a camcorder would have been used. There may have been a setting for zoom, however the
quality would be poor.
They also would not have been able to use the torch which we used for filming when the natural light was too dark.
USB/SD card
The USB was used to import music, images and videos from our Iphone as well as the camera. We used the SD card
to import images for our magazine cover.

7. Microphone
The microphone was used for the narration. (Figure 6) The microphone was
integrated into the Imac. This would have been different 10 years, if they were to
record the voice they would have had to speak into the camcorder as they were
filming. This would mean the quality would not have been great, also effects such as
reverb and echo would not have been added.
Scanner
The scanner was used to scan in images onto the computer. We designed patterns for
our magazine cover, which we then scanned into the computer, however the designs
we made were too small meaning once they were imported onto the computer they
were pixelated.
Slideshare
This is a website to share your presentations with other websites such as Blogger. This
is easier for us as if we had Microsoft Powerpoint at home we could easily upload this
onto SlideShare and share it onto Blogger. This would not have been possible ten
years ago, meaning we would have not been able to share the presentations across
other wesbites.

8. Prezi
We used this program to create slideshows presenting our
progress during the making of our trailer. (figure 7) Prezi is useful
because it is clearer to see the development of our ideas, as well as
making the transition between information smooth. We could
upload YouTube videos for examples and images from the browser
or saved onto the computer. To create a presentation 10 years ago
we would have used programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint. In
this program you would have been able to insert clip art and copy
and pasting images from your computer or Internet, but not
videos.
Blogger
We used Blogger throughout the duration of our
media coursework. This enabled us to write down
our thoughts and ideas, which we shared among the
group. We were able to include videos and images as
well as sound clips from Sound cloud. This would
have been a problem 10 years ago as this website
would not have been available, meaning we would
have had to hand write ideas into a journal or typed
onto Microsoft Word.

9. Soundcloud
Sound cloud is a website to record and upload music which
can then be shared among other websites such as Blogger
and Prezi. (figure 8 ) We could not have been able to use
this 10 years ago, meaning we would not have been able to
import music or recordings onto other websites.
Rue Morgue
This is a website for a magazine cover, which influenced us
for our magazine cover. We used the same title and layout,
however edited the theme to match our trailer. We chose
this magazine because it similar to the genre of our trailer.
We chose this because it is more niche market and more
independent, which fitted well with our trailer.
Little White Lies
This is another website for a magazine cover, however it
has a different theme which did not fit in with our trailers
genre. The cover was in the theme of pop art, which does
not represent the horror genre.
Ten years ago we would have had to sketch out the design
of the cover and take it to a magazine publisher, which
would have been time consuming and expensive.
Tagxedo/ Wordle
We used Tagxedo and Wordle to represent a stream of
thoughts and ideas. (figure 9) This is beneficial to use for
questionnaires as we can see which answer for each
question is most popular. Ten years ago we would have had
to write down in a spider diagram and scan the information
into the computer.

10. Convergence is the rise of digital communication in the late 20th century it has made it possible for media organizations or
individuals to deliver text, audio, and video material over the same, wireless connections.
The Iphone is an example of
convergence. The Iphone is
integrated with a camera, video
player, internet,email,music player,
games and many more. 10 years ago
a mobile phone was used to make
calls and text. However in the 21st
century it has been made possible to
use multiple technological
applications.
