Evaluation – New Media Technologies.

In order to get the most out of my coursework I tried to use as many different types of media available to me for all sections of my course. I’ll begin with research, where I spent a lot of time on youtube looking at current film trailers that were relevant to my idea and looking at reviews and comments given on those videos to see the reaction of other people towards them. Search engines such as Google and Ask helped me to easily find anything I wanted to do with film magazines, trailers or posters and allowed me to complete my research for my magazine cover and poster faster due to the ease of getting ideas from sites like Google images.

I went back to old school techniques for parts of my research as well by using the television and cinema to view any new trailers that happened to be in advert breaks. This used to be the only way of viewing new film trailers but through the use of youtube, you can do it at any time. Whenever a trailer came on to the TV I found myself analyzing it and picking out parts of it that I could potentially use in my own trailer and although it’s not a new media technology, it helped me out a lot during planning.

Without the use of one piece of new media, none of you would have seen any of this so give it up for the wordpress blog. As a class we began using edublogs but due to a lack of memory, our blogs filled up very quickly so we moved to wordpress, which up to now has been easy and simple to work with. Fingers crossed, I finish smoothly.
