How did you use technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Construction technologies
Final Cut pro - This is a key piece of technology which we used to do our whole trailer, this software allowed us to take our basic raw clips and then improve them greatly but starting with things such as adding things like transactions to the shots to improve effects and lengths, We then also added things like effects to improve the shots quality as well as the different things the shot contained.In the example above you see how we took a basic shot and added an effect known as "crisp contrast" this effect was added to the shots we used blood in because it made the blood seem scarier by making it a more realistic colour and making the rest of the room darker and gloomy.
Weebly - this software is what we used for creating our website this website is easier to use but allows us to crate a nice looking website which is easy to set up and design, we used the design option to allow us to tab all the different pages into there correct categories, this made our website seem more professional and easy to navigate.

Clip Converter - this piece of technologie is used for getting clips for our trailer off places like youtube because of this we can add a huge range of multiple music tracks to improve, can get special effects which we may not be able to do unless we used this to get them from youtube and we can even use it to get things such as pictures and overlays
Pic monkey - this piece of software was mainly used to help make our poster but was also used for a small part of our magazine, this website allowed for us to take a simple image and transform it into a good poster uses many different kinds of effects, we used a range of things going from 2 different outside borders which had different strengths which created the icey looking outside border, we then used an ocean effect which we added as the overlay meaning it would create this blue image but also create a light feeling across the hand showing it's coming from above and the hand below is somewhere from the deep darkness
Prezi - We decided to use prezi because it is a much more effective method that we could use to present a range idea as well as keeping it as a multimedia presentation by including videos and pictures as well as all the text, but with the transactions between each slide it makes the text seem less bulky and seem like there is less information meaning you are more likely to take the information in, it also gives a nice looking design which can be based upon the type of website it will then be added to.

Photoshop - This is the final piece of software used for creating our poster and for our magazine we used photoshop mainly for our magazine because photoshop unlike pic monkey allowed for having "layers" which means it was a lot easier for us to be able to move texts and pictures around our magazine cover without it messing up for breaking with overlaps, but we also used photoshop for our poster as for removing things like backgrounds and the merging of 2 different pictures was a lot harder to try to do on pic monkey so photoshop proved useful to help us do that. We also used photoshop for the title of our poster as the range of texts was higher meaning we could use a better font
