What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
From constructing my media
product, I have leant how to use the following technologies:
Camera
|
I used a camera to take the images for my media product, I
used a Cannon for the cover and contents page images and a Samsung for the
double page spread images. I learnt to adjust the light, contrast and how to
frame images using this product.
|
 |
Card reader
|
I had to use an SD card in the camera and an SD card
reader to transfer my images onto the computer, I had not previously done
this. The card reader is a useful product that I have used multiple times
with all my images.
|
 |
3 point lighting
|
Whilst using the green room, I had to set up and use 3
point lighting so my images would be of good quality and I could later edit
them. The lights where essential in taking a detailed and quality image.
|
 |
USB
|
I had to transfer, save and backup my work whilst working
on it with an USB stick.
|
 |
Mac
|
I used an apple mac to record my progress on Photoshop
using quick time player, and publish the videos on my blog. I also used the
mac for working on my blog from home.
|
 |
PC
|
I used a PC to work on publisher during production of my
double page spread. I also used Photoshop on the PC to edit my images. Most of
my research was also conducted on a PC and I used PowerPoint to present my
research.
|
 |
Photoshop editing software
|
I have learnt to use the many features of Photoshop to
edit my images for my product. For example, I have learnt to use; air brush,
quick select, erase, brushes, colour swatching, filters, colour adjustments
and many more features.
|
 |
blogger
|
I have published all my work on y blog and learnt how to
present my work in this format in a way that is creative and purposeful. I have
learnt to add photos, videos and Prezi’s to my blog and used the different
features to alter my blogs appearance.

DEVELOPMENTS
|
First Draft
|
Final Draft
|
Development
|
COVER
|
|
|
From my original draft, I have developed my cover using Photoshop
to make my product appear more professional and appealing. I used the colour adjustment,
airbrushing, contrast / brightness adjustment, shapes, quick selection, text
boxes and transformations to improve my cover.
|
CONTENTS PAGE
|
|
|
My original contents page didn’t look much like a finished
product so I developed it using publisher and Photoshop to improve it and make
it look more conventional.
|
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
|
|
|
I used publisher, PowerPoint and Photoshop to develop my
double page spread and create my finished product. I also used a different camera to take new images for my double pay spread and used more direct lighting to put all the focus on my subject.
