Evaluation Question Four

Here's is the link to the mind-map I created using Bubbl.us, stating what has been used both years.

Over the past year, I feel my skills with the technologies I have used have improved since AS. Last year, I used simpler software such as paint to create flat plans and the ancillary tasks, whereas this year I have used Sony Vegas Pro, Prezi, Bubbl, SurveyMonkey and Photoshop. Compared to last year where I conducted much more audience research for my magazine, this year it was simpler as it was a much wider target audience and therefore it would have been harder to focus on one age/sex/class. Although I used blogger last year, this year I have created much more in depth posts and updated it regularly with filming updates, ancillary task work and production diaries in general. Some websites were familiar to me from As such as Prezi and SurveyMonkey, but this year I have used Bubbl and software like Sony Vegas Pro to help me improve the quality of my work. Because I had it downloaded on my laptop, I was able to work from home and not rely on college time to work on the music video, therefore allowing me more time to improve each detail about it. I used a Nikon Camera this year as opposed to Canon as it gave me better detail for my videos and was more familiar to my partner and myself, allowing us to get the correct lighting and angles that we planned for. This year, I used Macbook laptops more often which allowed me to get familiar with it's controls, settings and software- this aided me greatly as it had more software than the college computers and helped me access the resources I needed.
