Evaluation 7

1. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 2. Blogger As you can see by looking at the screenshot you will see that I have used blogger to post any and all pieces of work to my blogger account. Currently there are 20 blog posts on my blog including the production work. After posting new blog posts I would usually email Mr. Rosen in order to inform him that new work has been posted so I can receive feedback for my work 3. Slideshare This screenshot is the home page of my Slideshare account. I have used to the online software to embed my research work from Microsoft PowerPoint to a format readable by blogger. It is a useful tool because I can showcase my work in another way besides a blog post. This screen shot shows Slideshare being put to use in one of my blog posts in which I analyze survey data. 4. Survey Monkey Survey monkey is online software which helped me to create surveys and send them to my peers. It was very easy to use and if I had any problems whilst using the software then I could just visit the survey monkey help centre. The below screen shot shows an example of one of my surveys on survey monkey. In survey monkey your question can have many options, there are many different types of question you can ask. Also the software makes it very easy for the user to simply email the survey around to friends and then the software will automatically put your results into tables and graphs so it is easy to analyse. 5. Prezi Prezi is an online presentation software that I have learned to use to show my ideas in fun and unique ways because with Prezi it is almost limitless the amount of things you can do and edit. For example it is very interactive and the user can follow paths on where they want to travel to on the presentation. Using Prezi gives me another way of expressing my work rather than just through blog posts and PowerPoint's. Prezi is very unique and exciting to use because the endless possibilities available to the user. Below is an example of how I have used Prezi in order to show some of my research work. 6. Photoshop 7. This is an image of my school contents page . As you can see the editing and skills used is very basic in comparison to my magazine cover and contents page. There is very little evidence of image modification. Photoshop 8. Image modification for my production work This is the image before I edited it. This is the image after I edited it. As you can see I have cut out the background. 9. Evidence for modification. 10. Digital SLR Camera To take the images needed for my production work I used a digital SLR Camera to take these images. This is another piece of technology I used to to complete my production work 11. On the previous slide there is a video which gives evidence for image modification. If you watch the video it is easy to notice that I have cut out the background for my image as that is my main image on my magazine cover. To cut out the background I used two tools and they were the magic eraser tool and the eraser tool when I used the eraser tool I needed to change the size of it so that I could be more precise. 12. Final evaluation Overall I have used the technologies available to me to the best of my ability and I feel that I have learnt a lot about the different software's which have been mentioned. Without the technologies I would not have been able to create such realistic pieces of media production work.
