This is the answer in response to the question, in what ways does my media product use develop or challenge conventions of real media products?
In this slideshow i have shown what real media products we researched like most haunted and ghost hunters, i have gone into detail about what we thought of them and what ideas we have taken and developed from them to create our media products, ghosts, ghouls and paranormal happenings.


This is the second question, how effective is the combination of my main project and ancillary texts?
I have created a prezi presentation to show what i have researched like posters and radio adverts and how i have adapted my own and made them apply to my brief but also create a greater overall project.

Question 4 - how did we use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Here is just a list to show what items and technologies i used in cappturing, filming and editing my documentary

Sony XM2 - Used to film all my documentary footage.
Camera tripod - To stabalize the camera when filming the interviews.
Internet explorer and google maps - this was used to find all the information on how to get to our locstion Tatton Hall
Adobe Premier software - This software was used to capture the footage filmed on the sony XM2.Also used the software to edit the documentary such as cutting the footage up, effects such as transitions betweens shots i mainly used dip to black and crossfade.Also another effect i used was channel mixer which allowed me to change certain shots to monochrome creating an old aged effect.
Michrophone- this was used to capture just sound for the voiceovers, this gave us a much clearer sound and quality of voiceover
Adobe Photoshop - Editing software used to create the poster, layer mask was used because had to layer up the picture of location and off me and alex. i also had to use settings such as brightness/contrast, hue/saturation and changed the levels and curves to create a more dynamic and darker image.

Research
The Internet was beneficial when researching for the documentary i admit there was other ways of gaining research but this was more helpful than books as its more updated. This media tecnology helped to research different locations which we could possibly use.
Youtube - Youtube was beneficial in my reserch because it enabled me to research proffessional documentaries such as The Devil Made Me Do It .This research was to discover the different codes and conventions of documentaries.
Mobile phones - we had to use a mobile phone so that we could keep in touch with tatton hall so that it would be possible to film there.
hotmail/e-mail -this was used to origionally message people and places such as tatton, speke and walton hall.

Planning

Internet - To research ideas for our documentary.
Printer - To print out a questionnaire 30 times, this questionnaire helped us to establish a target audience and all the other aspects that we could put into our documentary.
Sony XM2 and Mic - Filmed our target audience answering the questionnaire.
