Evaluation; How did you use Media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages

I used media technologies at every stage of my coursework, at times I have enjoyed it but at times I have found it challenging. After a year and a half of practice I think I have perfected my use of Photoshop and In Design which I now enjoy using as a pose to this time last year where I hated them both...alot. I found the radio suite easy to use, we had no major problems and it all ran rather smoothly. I used programmes I have never used before such as soundtrack pro and Audio Hijack Pro and I was lucky to have Jess in my group who seemed to pick this up very quickly and she got on with the editing of the recording whilst I looked around for sound effects that I thought would work well; we then discussed this and started applying them to the radio drama until we had our finished product.

Later on for the ancillary texts, we used digital photgraphy because we needed to have our own photo for the front of our poster. We took a lot of photos and I eventually came out with one I liked. I did well in photoshop this year when in other years I have struggled with it. It didn't take me much longer than 2 hours to complete my radio poster using photoshop and In design. The radio listing double page spread went well aswell but was very time consuming.
