We used many different technologies in the production of our media products. Despite being the eager beavers that we were, we still needed the latest technology to help produce top rate media products. Thanks to these technologies and our committed attitudes we are now media pros. I- stop motion allowed us to use animation where appropriate and was very effective. However, this was time consuming and took a lot of perseverance. As well as this, we used final cut to edit our production. This was great as it had loads of different modes and techniques that we could use to make our products look even more effective. For example, using black and white and slow motion. To produce our work it was essential we had an Apple mac to produce our work on. This is because it is the only company that have certain software which was vital for us to have. Blogger- we used blogger throughout the past two years in all media work we completed. Blogger was perfect for getting notes and ideas down so we could join together and discuss these ideas and plans. Blogger helped show all the stages of planning, filming, editing, software used etc throughout our prodjects. Blogger help us throughout the course as it allowed the group to plan and discuss our ideas and put them down so we could go back and review and maybe decide on adding or deleteing an idea from our project. Facebook - we only used facebook during our music video project. We used it to contact the band whose song we used for our music video (vincent, vincent and the villains). We found their official facebook page and posted a comment to them to explain we were planning a music video project based on their song. We also had to use google on many occasions. This was vital for searching information and finding pictures that would help us produce successful media projects. We used this over other search engines as we believe this  to be the best as it has the most information. Bing is poor. we used youtube in a number of different tasks. On youtube the main aim was to analyse others videos and understand what was good and what was not so good and try to apply these into our videos. we searched from official films, music videos to long road students projects. this gave us an understading of the different projects and also gave us inspiration throughout the tasks. we found youtube a very useful tool for the media projects. We were also fortunate enough to use HD cameras in our second year of filming. This meant that the picture quality was of a much higher standard and therefore was more pleasurable to the eye. Flickr was used in our projects so we could upload pictures onto blogger. this helped us show some of the ideas we were looking to use, also we took pictures of us editing, filming, planning, working etc. these were all uploaded via flickr onto our blog. without flickr we would not have been able to use pictures on our blogs as a form of planning and ideas.
