Q6) What have you learnt about technologies
from the process of constructing this media product?
Whilst completing my coursework I was
introduced to new technologies, for example I learnt how to use Photoshop, blogger,
slide share and excel. I have used Photoshop for my magazine cover, contents
page and double page spread. Whereas I used slide share to upload my research
on magazines and blogger to upload every single research, my magazine pages, my
evaluation and my planning of the magazine I am making. I have used excel to
make my graphs from the data I took from the results of my questionnaires. The
camera I have used was a Canon digital camera; this camera had the function of
focusing. Focus is a very important function as without having a lens focus the
images you take will come out blurry and fuzzy. Another function of this camera
was the exposure; this is known to be the volume of light on the scene. There
are two types of exposures: auto exposure and manual exposure. Auto exposure is when
the camera is adjusted the exposure needed in the picture. Manual exposure is
when you can adjust the best setting, which you favor. These features were very
helpful for my shoot; I used the functions to take clear and focused photos of
my model. The only difficulty I faced whilst using the equipment is adjusting
the exposures correctly; I overcame this difficulty by trying to adjust the
exposure multiple times. Photoshop has taught me how to crop and edit photos to
suit your liking, also has brought me skills such as learning how to add text
in different font styles. During the
editing process, I have faced small difficulties with learning how to use
Blogger, Slide-share and Photoshop; I have overcome these difficulties by
physically practicing how to use the editing software’s. I have presented all
my ideas on my Blogger account, I have used slide share to upload Power Points
of my research and evaluation. Overall, the importance of using this new
technology has helped me develop new skills to use on further in my media work.
