Use of Media Technology During The Construction of Project

During the construction process of our coursework I had to make use of various media technology to create our desired product.

To construct our print ad I had to make use of Photoshop. As I had not used Photoshop before, I initially found using it difficult! After watching some Photoshop tutorials on YouTube I gained some useful knowledge on how to make use of various tools on Photoshop. With practice I found using these tools easier and was able to design my idea with the aid of tools such as the blur tool, marquee tool, magic wand tool and the text tool.

During the early stages of constructing our documentary I had to make use of the camera and tri-pod. I was the main camera man during our construction process last year so using it for our documentary wasn’t as foreign to me as Photoshop. However, having used it the second time round I was able to enhance my skills with the camera and apply them to use more sophisticated and exciting shots. One particular shot where I was able to use my creativity with the camera was the zoom out shot layered with the title UK Funky House.
