What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Computer/ laptop - majority of work was produced on the school computers during lesson time or after if they were available as it meant i was able to access photoshop easily.
Photoshop - Where i was able to produce my product and edit it easily with the tools on the programme to allow me to make the desired affects on my magazine. Before taking media i'd never used photo shop before but with having a quick tutorial in the preliminary task, I soon became familiar with it and was able to make the product that i wanted.
Digital Camara (dont know the make at this time) - This is the camara that I used to take all of my photo's with for my magazine. It isn't the highest quality but it managed to produce some good photographs which I then went and used in my magazine.
Microsoft Word - I used this to write up my double page spread article/interview. This seemed the best place to write it up as it meant i would be able to keep an eye on the word count and also begin to structure it in some way.
Scribd - This is a website where you can upload word documents and embed them onto your blog. I used this to upload the drafts of my magazine and some analyzing work that i had done.
Flickr - This is a website where you can upload photo's onto it for people to see and then create a photostream slideshow which can then be embedded onto your blog. I used this to show my practice photo shots.
Animoto - I used animoto to create a short video of my 25 word pitch so that people would get a quick glimpse of what was expected to be in my magazine and what the genre was going to be.
Memory stick - I used this to tranfer documents and photo's over different computers so that i was able to use them on different pieces of software.
Internet - Google.com played a vital part in the research and planning for my magazine. It allowed me to find magazine exemplars and examples of articles/interviews which then gave me a better idea of how to structure my own.

ReplyDeleteYou must explain what skills you have developed through making the magazine. This could range from improved photoshop skills to how you've learnt to use the internet to research and identify conventions of real magazine.
All the elements above are correct but you must explain how and why they have improved.
