Evaluation 4: use of media technologies

For our trailer, some of the media technologies we used were:

• Photoshop:

We used Photoshop on multiple occasions, for multiple projects, such as creating the film poster for our psychological thriller, and the magazine cover for it as well. We also used Photoshop for creating our group logo, which can be seen below:

We also used it to create the title image of our film as it appears in our trailer, as well as recreating pre-existing magazine covers at the start of the year.

• Premier Pro:

We used Premier Pro to edit all of our different drafts of our trailer, which included aspects such as editing all the different clips together, creating all the inter titles for our trailer, adding in all the sound effects and music for the trailer, and adding all the effects such as 'fade to black' and 'exponential fade' to our video and audio clips.

• Social media/Internet:

We used multiple forms of social media, such as YouTube, which we uploaded all of our different drafts of our trailer to, Blogger, which we constantly updated with the progress we were making on filming, editing, designing etc. We also used the internet to for our research, to find other psychological thrillers, as well as to look up locations, such as the pub we filmed in for the start of our trailer.

• Cameras and equipment:

We initially intended to use a camera that one of the people in our group would provide, but he unexpectedly left, and so we had to use a camera that was provided by the school, which can be seen in the picture to the left. We also used a voice recorder, which can also be seen to the right, and a tripod, which
 were also provided by the school.
