Google was used to help us research different documentaries and what they included so we knew exactly what should and shouldnt go in.

It also allowed us to find out statistics about shoes and shoe sales that we could include in the documentary and the radio advert.

Eval and Go was used in the research and planning to create our questionnaire for our target audience so we could easily send it out to everyone who was our target audience could get it, answer it and we can easily collate the results together and found out exactly what to include.

YouTube was used in the research and planning to watch other shoe documentaries and other documentaries in general to get a feel for what they include and what we should do to make sure our documentary follows codes and conventions.

Research and Planning

Blogger is something I have used a lot in the research and planning area as I could document exactly what I was doing and what was included in the process.

It was used as a sort of diary throughout the research and planning.

Bubbl.us was used for our class to brainstorm ideas together on what you can make a documentary about and what is a good and bad idea to make a documentary on. We then put it into an online brainstorm so we could see all of the ideas together.

We then created another after we decided our documentary to brainstorm what should go into it.

We used PowerPoint to put all of our answers in here so we can see all the m all in one place, finding out exactly what we needed to do/ include to please our target audience.

Facebook was used in the research and planning to share our questionnaire. This is because our target audience was the majority of people we had on Facebook so by sharing it there we could get a lot of responses from the exact people we need.

The microphone was use during the radio advert so we could record everything clearly.

It was also used when we were filming interviews so the audio was as clear as the footage. However, this was a different microphone as this one was the kind of microphone used for people like news readers, the kind that would clip on a tie or collar. This was so it wasnt obvious a microphone was used but the sound was still clear.

Blogger was used so I could document what we were doing throughout the construction stages, for example when we were writing the scripts; I wrote them on blogger so it could be seen by my group and me if I happened to lose the original copy.

Photoshop was a big part of construction when we were creating the newspaper advert, it allowed us to edit all of the images so we could make them look as high quality as possible.

We also used it to edit each shoe and foot to a different leg. This helped to get the meaning of the name across, size matters, and to make for a more interesting newspaper advert.

So without Photoshop creating our newspaper avert would have been near impossible and would result in a boring newspaper advert which would look like all the others.

Construction

The video camera was used to film our entire 5 minute documentary. We filmed all the interviews, cutaways, voxpops and the opening sequence.

We used this camera due to the high quality

The DSLR camera was used for the newspaper advert, to take the many photos we did.

Also, because its a high quality camera we could achieve professional quality photos with ease.

The camera was also used during the documentary to take photos to assist what people are saying. For example, when one of our interviewees are talking about their favourite shoes they say doc martins so we took a photo of doc martins and added over the audio so anyone who didnt know what doc martins are they would now know.

high quality footage that we got from it. It helped us create a professional documentary.

We also used some attachments that went with the camera to aid us in making sure we could do the best we could. For example, we used a tripod with the camera to make sure the camera was as steady as possible.

If we didnt have the video camera or the aids to go with it we wouldnt have been able to produce something as professional looking as we did.

Premier was the most important part of our documentary because it was what we edited all of our footage on. It allowed us to cut out certain parts of footage that wasnt needed using the razor tool.

We could do anything to our footage that we wanted, we could slow it down, speed it up, flip it, make it shorter, add an effect, add a title or anything else. This allowed us to make our 5 minute documentary look professional by using professional software.

Blogger was used so I could upload my final evaluation products and all of my other work like the final products themselves and any other pieces of work.

Word I used for exactly what Im doing now, the final evaluation question. I decided to use word so all the information and everything will be in the one place so its easy to read all of the information without it looking too overwhelming at seeming like a task.

I used the computer, screenshot tool, during the evaluation; this was so I could give visual examples of the work I am talking about in my evaluation. It is also useful to prove my work and back up anything I say.

Evaluation

Emaze, similar to Prezi, is just a more interesting way to present my evaluation questions.

Also same to prezi, it is an online presentation program that produces something more interesting than a PowerPoint.

Prezi was used to present the codes and conventions evaluation question in a way that was simple yet more interesting that simply a PowerPoint, it made a presentation look more fun and added something to it so it doesnt become boring.

Survey monkey was a simple way to create a questionnaire for the audience to review my final pieces, giving me positives, weaknesses and constructive criticisms (once my audience had seen and listened to all of our final products). This meant I could then take all of their answers and put it into one answer.

Scribd is a way that I could put a word document onto my blog in a simple way. This question was uploaded to Scribd and then I took the embed code and put it onto blogger. It helped me to make presenting my final evaluation question easy.
