Evaluation: How did you use new technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

For my research I mainly used the Internet and sites like Google and YouTube.  I used Google to look at products from bands within the same genre as us so I could see what was needed to put on my ancillary products. Phone cameras were also used when we went location shooting or when we just needed a snap shot of something, these were good because they were quick to use and easy to carry around.

Social network sites such as Facebook and Skype were extremely helpful when planning our ideas because we could easily communicate with each other at home. Skype was good to use as we could video call each other to show what we had done, for example if we had found a font to use or if someone had created a mood board of ideas and we could give group feedback and make quick decisions without having to wait until we saw each other the next day at school.

Before evaluating we used a video camera and a phone video camera to get feedback from our peers in which we could find out what they thought was good or bad about our video, so during evaluation of our project we could refer back to the videos and to what people had said.
