There are some pieces of technology that are used consistently throughout this projects stages. One such piece of technology is the Mac's we used during class. They have been used in all three stages; Research & Planning, Construction, and Evaluation. This is due to the software they are outfitted with, which enables us to create high quality products. The Mac's provide us with access to the necessary software to look back on our work and evaluate it. For example we are able to compare our Horror Movie Poster to one created for an actual movie to see how realistic our product looks. This is enabled through the internet which the Mac's have access to. YouTube was also used during the project and it was used in all three stages. We uploaded our trailer to YouTube once it was finished however we could have uploaded it to other social media sites such as Facebook. But we decided that to achieve the largest audience we would stick to YouTube. Using this technology made the evaluation process much simpler as it keeps a record of specific statistics such as views so we can get an idea of the size of our audience. It also includes a comment section in which our audience can communicate with us and voice their opinion on or work. These two factors make for a much easier process and it is hard to imagine how we would have faired had we not been able to use YouTube. Arguably the most useful piece of technology used in the entirety of this project, Weebly is a website builder which allows you to create free websites of a good standard. We have used this piece of technology from the very start of our project, it allows us to present our work and enables us to keep a track of all the work we have done over the course. All the work we do is presented on this website using the Weebly website builder. Not only does Weebly offer an easy to use building system, it also keeps a track of statistics such as website views and acts as a general hub for your site. |
