Examples Of Software Use By: Mia Jones

+Information For The Moderator

As I have already explained why I have used the following software's as part of a group this presentation explains why I used each of the software's for my own ancillary tasks and how they have helped me through my creative process.

+After Effects

Shafia and I used Premier Pro in order to upload text to our trailer, this was helpful to provide captions an credits. I also thought it was easy to use and it allowed me to put the text into a composition of where I want the text to appear on the video clip. You can also add transitions, we chose the typewriter effect as it looked romantic and was used in the proposal film trailer as mentioned in question one.

+Microsoft Word

Microsoft word allowed me to create documents of information. I used Microsoft work in order to create the editing log. I have used this software throughout my high school and college education so I already knew how to use it effectively.

+Microsoft Powerpoint

Microsoft Powerpoint allowed me to create basic presentations. I think that it is easy to use and it is a great way to share information as the slides separate various aspects of information regarding different subjects. I also used it to create my auditions poster by adding text and and images and putting them in to a creative composition.

+Smore

Smore was a website that helped me to create a presentation for my equipment and software list for my film poster and film magazine.

+YouTube

YouTube was extremely helpful for my coursework this year as is not only allowed me to research how to use programs it also allowed me to upload my audience feedback videos and embed them onto my blog. I used YouTube to find out how to use garage band and how to apply a flawless makeup look on to the models.

+Mail App And Voice Memos App

As the voices of the characters were very muffled on the original recording Shafia and I decided to use the voice memos app to record all of the script again and then later add the clips to premier pro and add them to the trailer so that sound was loud and clear. The mail app helped me to send the voice notes from my phone onto the computer.

+Solvr

Solvr allowed me to create a conversation between Jenny, Shafia and I. This website let us decided weather our comments were ideas, problems or general comments, this made it easier for all of us to understand each others view points and take them into account when making initial decisions regarding our courswork.

+Pic Collage App

The pic collage app was a really easy way to create collages, so I used it to create collages of existing media products to help me with my production of my film poster and magazine. You simply choose from pictures from your camera roll and put then into a composition on the page.

+Video FX Live App

The video FX live app was an app that I used before I started media just to record videos in separate arts. It simply lets you record one clip then pause it then you can carry on recording. I thought it would be a good idea to use this whilst videoing my audition and audience feedback videos. It also allows you to add colour effects to the videos.

+Screen Shot Feature For I Phone

This image shows how I have used the screenshot feature for IPhone to take pictures of images online and upload them to my blog. This is a really helpful feature as you can push both of the buttons shown down and it will take a picture of whatever is on your screen and it will go straight onto your camera roll. I have used the screenshot feature to take the pictures of all of my social networking posts shown on the gif I have placed onto my blog post for question four.

+App Store App

The App Store has allowed me to download apps such as pic collage and Pinterest, which have helped me to produce research and planning.

+Notes App

I used the notes app to write down audience feedback questions, then I copied and pasted the question and added it to various social networking sites in the hope to gain audience feedback.

+Photos App

The Photos App stores all of my pictures and videos that I upload to my blog. It lets me browse through all of my research and planning and audience feedback.

+Acuweathr.com and timeanddate.com

These websites allowed me to check the weather so I new whether to carry out shooting for example is rain was predicted I would not shoot that day.

+Blogger

Blogger and the Blogger App were the main softwares that allowed me to present all of my creative processes, progression and research and planning throughout the year. I also used this software for my AS blog so I already knew how to use it effectively. The blog posts that I created separated all of my different aspects of research and I enjoyed using it.

+IshowU

I have used IshowU for my evaluation questions to show how I have used certain softwares on the computer. It is helpful because it not only shows what you are doing but it records your voice at the same time so that you can explain how and why you used certain features on the computer.

+Slideshare

Slideshare is a free online website that has allowed me to upload my Microsoft PowerPoint and Word presentations onto my blog.

+Premier Pro

I used premier pro to edit our trailer as I have already explained with my peers. It allowed me to cut clips, edit the sound and colour of the clips and many other features. As I didn’t use this programme last year I feel that I have gain an extreme amount of knowledge of how to use this software and I feel confident in editing videos.

+Garage Band

I have used garage band to create the soundtrack for our trailer, I used the loops feature and it was really easy to use I simply dragged my desired sounds and placed them onto the document. I could suspend the sounds, add sound effects and even put my trailer onto the program so that I could see if the music fit in with the scenes of double take. As we have shown on the Ishowu. We also added some voice over parts by simply using the record feature.

+Voice Thread

Voice thread is an online website that let me upload my recordings off my phone and add them onto our Premier Pro, I also used this for my sound test to check if it created high quality sound. You could also record your voice using the website.

+IPhone

I used my Iphone to take videos and pictures for my research and planning, I also used all of my apps and blogger to continue with my media work when I was not in college.

+Steeltounges.com and Dafont.com

I have used these two websites to download fonts onto photoshop for my magazine and poster. For example fonts such as, Lemon Milk for my title and Steeltonges for my credits.

+Photoshop

Photoshop was the main software that I used to create my film magazine and poster. Its various features such as the lasso tool, frees transform tool, the eye drop tool and many other tools allowed me to edit and create a composition. I could insert images and text. Again I used this last year for as however I feel even more confident with the software now as I have used it throughout the year. I have explain how I have used it in more detail on my IshowU.

+Google and Yahoo

I have used google and yahoo to ask questions regarding my research and planning.

+Prezi

I have used prezi to create presentations, it is interest and is a great way to present research and planning. (I like to call it an advanced version of Microsoft PowerPoint).

+Genialy

I have used this slide on genialy.com to present a slide of information regarding my publication plan for my film magazine.

+Stickies

I have used stickies to write down notes on my desktop so that they are easily accessible, this feature was really helpful to remind me of the things that I needed to do in lesson.
