2. YouTube / Vimeo
Youtube and Vimeo are websites that
hosts millions of videos and allow you
to upload and view videos
On Youtube we were able to research
soap operas and their trailers, in
order to analyse good and bad
features that we could replicate or
avoid in Rowtown
I also used Youtube and Vimeo to
embed videos into my blog to help
demonstrate points I was
discussing, and Vimeo to upload
drafts of my own trailer in order to
receive feedback from its audience

3. Wordpress
Wordpress is the free and easy-to-use
blogging website that hosted my Rowtown
production blog
Using HTML code, I was able to embed
videos and images into my blog to make it
more aesthetically pleasing , and to
demonstrate different features my group
was working on, such as embedding a draft
of our song to Soundcloud
Wordpress also allowed my group to receive
and respond to feedback from our teacher,
making the process of improving any
alterations needed a great deal easier

4. Photo Plus helped in the production of both of my print pieces, as
well as in my video
My group created the graphics for our video in Photo Plus, before
importing them into Premier Elements
For our print work, we used Photo Plus to create the template for
our magazine, using shape and text tools
We then used the software to edit photos that we had taken, using
the blemish removal tool to edit the actors in the photographs, and
editing the background of the characters to remove any colour
around them

Plus

6. Premier Elements
I used Adobe Premier Elements to edit the video and audio footage
for Rowtown
This software made it very easy to crop pieces of video and audio,
and to add transitions between scenes
Premier Elements was fairly simple to use and allowed me to
synchronise video and audio to create a smooth and professional
looking soap opera trailer
I was also able to make graphics in Premier Elements.
After importing images from Adobe’s related software
Photo Plus, I was able to make them move around
the screen, making the text that was written appear
more powerful
