3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

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







These are all photographs I have taken of all the programs we used on my MacBook;
imovie - to edit of film, play around with the structure to create our horror teaser trailer.
itunes - to copy of music from Jamendo onto itunes to place it over our clips.
garageband - to look for sound effects that would be suitable for our trailer, and edit the copy free music we downloaded to make it fit in with the tralier, to create the right tension.
Underneath are print screens of the websites we have used and the reasons why we have done so.














Screen shot of you tube, we used youtube to publish our horror tralier, to get opinions from people outside of college, general puplic. We engouraged people to comment on what they though of our video. If we hadn't of used youtube we wouldn't of been able to publish our tralier.


This is a sreen grab of  font generator, this enables you to create more effective and cteative font, we made our title of our film 'possessed' using this website, we made it look like dripping blood. If we hadn't of used this website the outcome would have made our font basic and not as creative, making it look less scary.
This is a screen shot of blogger, we have used to record all of our research, idea's and upload our final products.  


This is a screen shot of Photoshop, we used this program to edit our photographs and organise text to form our horror poster.  If we hadn't of had this program our final design would have been very basic, and wouldn't have looked as effective as it does, as we used different effects to make the photograph more scary.
This is a screen shot of Weebly we used this program to create our website, it was a restricting in being able to have moving images and have a more creative background, however this was one of few free programs to make websites, so if we hadn't of used weebly we would of had to pay to create one.




This is a screen shot of Jamendo, we used this website to download copy free music, in the horror section.

Postmodernism && Music.

Postmodernism is taking other forms of art to produce something new.
•The postmodern sensibility that anything can be considered cool in an ironic ‘I know it’s bad, but it’s so bad it’s good’ way.
•Work that is created based (entirely or in part) on older material. This incorporates sampling and will take you from the realms of hip hop culture transporting you finally in today’s modern fragmented musical landscape.

Dead or Alive - You spin me round.





Flo Rider has sampled this song to make it his own version...
FloRider - Right Round.
