Evaluation Question 4; How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?



















The main resource used for the research and planning was the internet mainly youtube and google to plan archive material etc. Before doing any research or planning what was going to be in the documentary we went through
a list of different topics we could focus on. Our research also consisted of finding a professional tattoo artist which eventually we did and we got the chance to look at all the tattoo inks to help with the documentary. Many software on the PC were used to construct work such as Adobe Premiere and Photoshop. Questionnaires were also created on the PC to get feedback for our documentary and we used Microsoft Excel to create bar charts for the results of questions. Background information was searched on google to find facts to include in our voice over, however, we did not use these in the final product. Other documentaries were closely analysed and we got a few ideas from there to create our own version.






















The construction of the documentary consisted of using a variety of media technology such as a still camera, digital video camera, tripod and microphone. The microphone allowed us to pick the important bits we wanted of the interview or voxpop without having any problems. These were all used for the whole of the documentary and also the still camera was used for the print advert.
A video camera and microphone was used throughout because
it allowed us to get the best quality for the documentary for it to look professional. We used various camera shots and the filming contained; interviews, voxpops, cutaways and opening titles. Whilst filming with these media technologies, it was made sure that we got the right framing and we aimed to stay away from bright light to get the best effect in the final product. Another reason a still camera was used because we took pictures of sketches etc as evidence on our blogs and we also done this whilst filming our interviews to prove its our work.
