How did you use new media technologies in the construction, planning and evaluation stages?

In the production of our film trailer we used a range of programs/sites.

The first program we used was Facebook messenger. 

This allowed us as a group to communicate, share ideas and arrange filming. This was particularly helpful in the process of our film trailer as the program allowed us to create a group chat which meant it was easier for our group to have a clear idea of where we're at and what still needs to be done.

The second program we used was YouTube.

We used YouTube's audio library for the three different pieces of music in our film trailer. 

We also used YouTube to upload our film trailer to and other videos we used in our film trailer process, such as interviews with actors. 

The third program we used was Abobe Photoshop. This was used to create our film magazine cover and our film poster. This was probably the most challenging program for me as i had not really had much experience with it before so took a bit of getting used to and was time consuming, however, after playing around with the program, and researching what the different tools are for it became much clearer. I experimented with the different texts, colors and also adjusting the brightness of the pictures to create a more eery.

The fourth program we used was Premier Pro. We used this program to edit our film trailer.

Although we used this program last year to edit our videos, it took a while to get the hang of using it again. Although we often researched how to make our ideas turn into reality using the program and researching what the different tolls were used for. This process was very time consuming as we didn't stop working until we were satisfied with what we had.
