The main impact that new media technologies has had on our project is the use of the internet . For our research and planning we were able to quickly assess who our target audience was and examples of similar media texts on sites such as Youtube and Fastpasstv, peekvid and so on. it became very easy to watch these films through the click of the button whereas before relying on television etc. We were also able to gather the opinions from our audience by reading some of the comments that can be left this gave us clear views on what our audience liked and what they disliked.
This is a slideshow we did on Photo-bucket and this is to just advertise ourselves on our blog and to also show our time plan. The time plan which we made in Toms Planner. The internet also helped us with storyboarding as we have used our draft filming to make screen shots to show people an idea of what we would like to do in the short film. In doing this we were also able to show the more detailed mise en scene for our film in the storyboarding. During our research and planning we realized that we needed to utilise the social networking sites like Facebook to reach out to a broader audience.
Within the production of our work, we used the Mac computers to edit our video. This device has helped us so much in our development of this film. We have been able to correct parts that were not in sync, we have brightened up parts which were making the video look dull, we have also added effects which make the audience not realize its a film. For our ancillary tasks we used Adobe Photoshop also on the Mac computers. This really demonstrates the power of technology because in one machine you find so many devices to help with the production of your media text. I used photoshop to do the film review and I was very proud of it because there was no limitations to what I could put on the page. I could use the brush to brush off anything i didn't like, I could add more pictures and even edit them to fit my plans.
The biggest benefit that new media technologies had within our work was being able to present it all clearly on a blog. Sites such as Scribd allowed to embed our work (which was saved as Word documents and Powerpoints) onto our blog neatly and efficiently. This was especially helpful in presenting audience feedback results which we were able to present as graphs. We were also able to gain audience feedback using our Facebook group page as well as uploading all our work for everyone to see, giving us the opportunity to have our work be seen by market that we wanted.
