2. Media technologies
The use of software and hardware used
throughout the entire design, planning and
making of the products and ancillary
products. All of the software was used to
enhance and design the products otherwise
it would not be possible.
3. Hardware
A laptop and computer were the heart of all of the
making of the main task and ancillary tasks. It was used
for everything from the planning, to blogger, to Adobe
Premier Pro and YouTube, to emailing and designing and
more!

was an appropriate product.
7. Software
I used Adobe Premier Pro as the Teaser Trailer editing
software. This software was excellent throughout and
although complex, once you got the hang of it was
simple to use. I am very pleased with the process and it
has really helped me develop my editing skills and use
of Adobe. It had many transitions and sound affects
that I tried and tested and some that I went on to use.
Overall I am happy with this software and would feel
happy to use it again.
8. Photoshop CS5
I used Photoshop to create both my Poster and Magazine
cover. I have worked with Photoshop a lot before and
therefore I knew how to use it quite well. I firstly used to
edit the images I took on my digital camera for the
magazine and poster. I then went on to design and create
the magazine cover using all the different
font, colours, techniques, shapes and features to make it
to the bets standard I could. Photoshop worked well for
the needs of this task.
