Q4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Within the research stage we used new media technologies such as Blogs, You tube, mobile phones, Face book. Things such as Face book and mobile phones helped us to get in contact with our group and you tube and the Blog allowed us to research on our film more. We looked at previous blog owners who did media and on You tube, videos on short films. This therefore helped us to develop on our ideas as we could show each other example’s of things that we found. For example when we had to research on the colour gold we used things such as Google and You tube to find poems, pictures and symbols that would relate to gold. This then helped us at a later stage to come up with an idea for our film.

Planning Slideshow, digital camera, scanner,

In the planning stage we used slideshows to show different stages of the pitch with the feedback on it. To do this we needed the internet and a user with a website http://www.slideshare.net/ . This allowed us to present our work in a simple way. We also used digital cameras for the location reccee and for the photo storyboard stage
