Since AS my skills in the use of digital technology, and the media technologies that I have used, have changed considerably. Media technologies that I used at A2 but not at AS include the video recording software "Ezvid," SlideShare, Meta-Chart, Bubbl.us and the screenshot feature on the Mac.
These media technologies have allowed me to project my research, planning and evaluation on a range of different mediums, meaning I have exploited the media more and used a variety of different methods in order to show each stage of the process. I feel this has helped me in every stage of the process, and has made my blog as a whole more coherent and well structured. For example, at AS I used a rough tally to communicate the results of my audience feedback. At A2 however, I put the results from my audience questionnaires onto a bar chart, meaning the results of the feedback were ultimately easier to analyse and form a conclusion from.

During A2, the numerous different media technologies that I have used have helped me in the pre-production, production, editing and distribution stages. For example, using the screenshot feature on the Mac has allowed me to outline areas of pre-production, such as my storyboards and call sheets, as well as areas of production and editing, such as post-production editing where I took screenshots of various stages in my editing process.
During A2 I have also made quite a bit of use of YouTube. For example, I have uploaded a casting video, an audience feedback video and two videos for my evaluations onto the platform, in order to add visual information and to help document various stages of the process.
In the spider diagrams below, I have gone into more detail on all the media technologies that I have used, and the strengths and weaknesses of using them.
Overall, I believe that these media technologies were all instrumental in making my final products a success, as they all helped in one way or another. The planning, production and evaluation stages all exploited these various media technologies, meaning my final blog uses a lot of visual information as well as text. The outcome of using these various technologies, I feel, is a blog that includes lots of written detail, through the mediums of SlideShare and PowerPoint, and also lots of visual information, such as Ezvid and Mega-Chart, meaning my blog makes use of a variety of different mediums to present information.
