My media production was created in Microsoft Publisher because I am familiar with the program so thought I’d be able to use my prior knowledge of it to produce my magazine. I didn’t learn anything new about this Microsoft program as I have been using it for a number of years. However there was something new that I learnt about technologies, this being the blog we had to do on the site www.blogspot.com and how to use the camera ‘Canon Powershot s5i’. I have never blogged before so wasn’t familiar with how to write them, I didn’t enjoy blogging my progress on this media production, however if I was to blog about issues not connected to school then I might appreciate this technology more. I’ve never used the camera Canon Powershot s5i before due to the fact that I have my own camera. Despite this, I chose to use this particular camera as it has more megapixels at 8 than my camera which only has 5 megapixels so the quality of the photo is likely to be better. I took photos in both portrait and landscape and I also took advantage of the flash on the camera. I felt that the photos I got were of a higher quality than they would have been if I’d used my own camera. To edit the photos I’d taken I used the program Picasa 3 which I have on my computer at home. I was already familiar with this program and unaccustomed to Photoshop so this is the one I used. I cropped the photos, lightened them, highlighted them, used redeye and also retouched them. Overall I think the program edited my photos well.
