Evaluation Activity 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

The majority of my media work started and was processed using my camera, a replica of the camera displayed on the left hand side. My same camera is a FujiFilm FinePix camera and allows me to take photographs in a wide range of different climates and elements.


My camera itself, I have had for around 18 months and although I would say that I am not a camera genius, I do believe that the work that I have complied together and completed as party of my media coursework  has all been very good, considering the lack of "professional" photography that had done in the past.


Once I had taken the photographs that would be used within my magazine and the elements within my magazine I went onto Photoshop.


Photoshop itself is a programme that I have used before, although my usage was limited as I had only used it very briefly in year 11 and at the beginning of year 12, again I managed to try out different experiments and I did manage to discover a whole array of different effects, transitions and buttons to assure that my finished piece was to as high a standard as was possible and resulting in me acquiring the best grade at the end of the project itself.


Overall, I believe that this project has given me a better understanding o what it is that I ned to do to reach the top grades. I now know how to work a Photoshop documents and how exactly I would manipulate a document to assure that my grades were to an absolute top; I have also learnt, especially through use of my own digital camera, that some of my own work is genuinely better than I gave my self original credit for and that I need to have more confiedence in myself and working on a computer itself.
