HOW DID YOU INTEGERATE TECHNOLOGIES-SOFTWARE, HARDWARE AND ONLINE - IN THIS PROJECT?

In order to get the perfect outcome to suit my genre I had to use a variety of software & hardware. Technology used in this project were my two Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phones, my HP laptop, a USB and a hard drive. The project was mainly done on the laptop as it was easier and more convenient. The hard drive and USB were for back up plus evidence. My phones were the center of all photos and evidence; the bulk of my work was on my phones. I also used a selfie stick for the production evidence. The structure concocted was a selfie stick with a phone taped to a bar stool in order to get the time lapse of me creating all three pages.

I had to download a whole lot of software for editing, cropping, shooting and sticking. Canva was the main area of work was on which acted as an app for all the three pages for the graphic design. Using Canva was easy to use and I had no problem designing on the app. I used the built in cropping tools in my camera to edit and crop pictures. The use of the stylus in my phones made it easy especially for the intricate flowers, small seeds and other miniature items. Email was also used in excess to have a backup anytime I needed. , another type of app was used for the questionnaire. Word was used to get all my work together especially before posting on the website.

Kinemaster and Inshot were used to edit my videos.  Padlet aided in the presentation of different types of shots and angles. WIX was the site I used to present my blog and display my designs. YouTube was my savior in the creation of the website. I also used WhatsApp as a way of communication with my teacher and my peers. During the pandemic it also helped me distribute the questionnaire and also easily share photos that were taken from the two phones mentioned previously, so as to have the variety I needed.
