Evaluation: 4) D - How did you use media technologies in the evaluation stages?

Technology was a crucial usage throughout the evaluation stages of this coursework. Firstly, the main use of technology was in the form of Blogspot, in order to present my findings and my evaluation in a clear and coherent form. This was a relatively straightforward process as it is the medium we have used and become incredibly familiar with over the duration of the coursework period, and we also used it as the medium for presenting our AS coursework in much the same manner, so it was a programme I knew well. It allows you to display information in a wide variety of formats and structures, therefore was incredibly useful for the wide range of media and research involved in this project.

We used a camcorder again to film audience feedback, in order to allow us to evaluate upon this and consider the success of our product. This also allowed us to make any relevant amendments to our product that were needed in order to create the best overall product we could. We also used Kuda's blackberry camera as an alternative when there were no other cameras available. Although this meant a suffering in quality, we ruled that this wasn't too important as it was the content that mattered most, which was still fully accessible. We collated these clips using iMovie, which allowed us then to edit the footage together to review it, so we could then upload it onto YouTube, and embed the video in our blogs. This meant that we would have a point of reference when discussing the feedback we have received during evaluation question 3, and improved the variety of media content on our blogs.
