Question Three
'What have you learnt about the significance of audience feedback?'

Throughout the course I have always looked to my friends and peers for feedback and advice on my work, to help me change and develop my trailer and anciliaries.

I did this by posting drafts of my work on my blog so me peers could give me advice with with I could change to make my work better. I used the feedback to help me make my work better. For example there would be comments such as 'make some cuts shorter'.

I have created a prezi with examples of audience feedback and I have showed how it has helped me.

Question 4:Other techonologies i have used

Here I will list the other technologies i have used when creating my ancillary and billboard. I will explain why i used them and how i used them.

Blogger
I used blogger to  create a blog to show the work i have done. I found blogger easy and straight forward to use and so could create a post whenever I needed i needed to create a relevant post about my coursework. Blogger allows you to put youtube clips onto your posts, by embedding a link on the HTML button. I could post powerpoints by using slideshare, and put pictures onto my blog by just pressing the image button and uploading them onto the post.

Green screen and DSLR cameras
To create my ancillary and billboard I used a DSLR camera and a green screen. The DSLR camera allowed me to take a clear picture of a high very quality which looked very professional. I could adjust the height of the DSLR camera to get the perfect shot, with not too much empty space around it. By using the green screen we could change the colour of the background or change the background if we wished. But by using the green screen it gave us good lighting for the shoot, and we could increase the lighting if we wanted with reflective light boards. The background was also easy for us photoshop.

The DSLR camera we used for our shots.

Photoshop

To create my final products I used photoshop to get rid of the background in the shots we used.

Slideshare

To post powerpoints onto my blog i used a site called slideshare. The website was easy to use as all we had to do, was sign in using our blogger account, click upload, select the file we wanted to upload and just wait for it to upload.

HD and stills cameras

The group used these cameras to film our trailers. We used the stills camea for photo evidence when we were filming. The HD cameras we used to film our trailer. The HD camera had a microphone on the top and a tri-pod and so we could pan and track smoothly and actors would be able to be heard quietly.

Twitter

We used twitter so we could tweet our media teacher any questions or concerns we had, or to show her links to our trailers and other work on youtube so she could give us feedback.

Question 4:Technologies i used in the Mac suite

To create my trailer, billboard and ancillary i used several different technologies:
Garageband-trailer
Keynote-trailer
Photoshop-ancillary/billboard
iMovie-trailer
Publisher-ancillary
Blogger-other
Powerpoint-other
Youtube-other
Stills cameras-trailer
HD cameras-billboard/ancillary
DSLR cameras for photography and filming-trailer
Greenscreen-billboard/ancillary
Slideshare-other
Twitter-other
 Some of the technologies i used were on a MAC computer. By using a MAC computer this allowed me to make my trailer. I have used quicktime to make screen recordings of how i have used, iMovie, Keynote, Garageband and Youtube.

We decided this would be the basic storyline we were going to used but for our trailers we could not use some, use the old shots from our when we first filmed and use the shots in any order we wanted.

Trailer:Music

All trailers have music or sound in the background and so i needed to decide to song would go best with my trailer. It would hae to suit the storylines, genre and pace i wanted my trailer to be. With this in mind here is my first idea for a song for my trailer.



This song is called Climax by Usher. I thought this song might fit in with my trailer because of the relationship storyline with Cason and Sophie. Some of the lyrics are appropriate for that storyline, for example 'you said its better if we love each other seperately', and in my trailer Sophie is moving away. But after some thought i decided this song was'nt completely right for my trailer as it did not right the other storyline at all, and Ushers singing is very high pitched at times making the trailer sound awful because of the dialogue being spoken at the same time.
