One way of using software to produce pre production software would to be to create an effective, animated presentation using an online program called Prezi. I have used this to evaluate my A level media studies exam work (to view click the link http://snipurl.com/2bqk9g ) but it can also be used in the same way, and be as successful when creating pre-production documents. The program is very easy to use and incredibly fun. There are so many interesting, imaginative ways to make a simple presentation into an exciting one. It shares all the same basic features like a selection of fonts and sizes that can be used, bolds, italics and colours that for example Microsoft PowerPoint have. But what PowerPoint doesn’t allow you to do is to transform the presentation into a channel. By channel I am referring to how when using prezi, each bit of data that you put on adds to the path so they do not have to be viewed in a linear form.
For example the first image shows you an overview of one section in the presentation, the presentation then zooms to where ever you have put as the next part of the path. In this case it is a close up of the diagram. After that the presentation has been made to zoom to another area of the workspace which by the creators choice shows the title and then zooms in again so the text is visible to read.
The way you get the presentation to run very much the same as on PowerPoint. You select a ‘play’ button and have to click the mouse button or arrow keys to move onto the next slide/area of page.
