I believe that the construction stage is the stage that most relies on all media technologies from the use of camera to the editing programmes. In this stage of my portfolio I ventured into using a new range of media technologies that I hadn’t in the past.
During the research stage I used computers to view and analyse magazine advertisements , music video’s, artists of the acoustic genre and CD covers. Too gain knowledge and inspiration from these media products, so that my 3 products would end up looking authentic and professional .
The software I used was the internet: for research general knowledge and into conventions, which involved looking at and analysing real film posters, magazines and trailers,
My magazine advertisement which both followed and challenged conventions allowed me to display my creativity and knowledge of the genre and media as a whole.
For filming my college had provided new cameras, which we had never used before, and they were difficult to get used to so I decided to use my mother's video camera, again one I hadn’t used before but with a simpler lay out so I became accustomed to it quickly.

For an editing programme I used i-movie 09 on the i-mac a very high tech and easy to use system and one i had used in my AS production so I was accustomed to it. On this system I was able to add effects, reverse clips and apply backing music and sound effects.
For editing the photographs I used for both my CD cover and magazine advertisement I used lunapic.com. As i had not used a programme of this sort before initially I found it difficult but quickly became accustomed and was able to use it successfully to apply different effects and texts to my images.
Again, college had provided new tripods also. These were a lot more sufficient then the one’s used in my AS media allowing for smoother movements and panning shots . Also I used Microsoft word and paint to copy and paste images onto my magazine advertisement and CD cover to allow for a more professional and authentic image and product.
