How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

how technology has grown

It's no secret that over the past decade technology has grown extensively and it has built up the economy but one economy that has benefited the most is media as there is nothing that can't be found on the internet without a few clicks. This relates massively to me as when I first started media I was not very familiar with the technology and equipment involved so I had to do research to help me gain the knowledge of how to use things like the canon 5d and programs like premiere pro. There was a famous theory from wesch that said the web expands our creativity because any option that we demand can become available to us because we make it so this means that technology allows us to be very flexible and creative because we have all the answers in one click and there is no limitations to what we can find online this gives us endless opportunities to find new software and information to help build our knowledge.

 

software 

 

Furthermore, some other software that was used was blogger this was to help produce a blog for my coursework and helps add a creative touch to it. Without all these software like premiere and blogger, I wouldn't be able to produce my work to such a high standard as premiere helps me develop my video to look 10 times better than the original with all the editing tools as well as blogger helps me post all my work in different formats for people to see and comment on. This helps me further improve my work as I am able to see comments from people to see what they like and dislike about the posts without these forms of technology my opening sequence wouldn't be the best it could be this is because technology dominates media and to be successful producing media texts the best technology is needed to do so  

 

Hardware 

the main hardware I would use within media was either the iMac computer within school ours or I would use my MacBook bro at home these are very good performance computers and laptops and help support programs such as premiere so we're able to edit in school but also outside of school as well.

Other websites 

aside from blogger which was the main website I used for media i used other websites to help my find my research and to help find other things, for example, dafont.com let me choose from a range of different fonts for free this helped me select the font i used for the final opening sequence as well as celtx which helped me produce my first ever screenplay before using celtx i had no prior knowledge on how to write a screenplay
