- 1. Q6: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?
- 2. During the construction of the product the technologies I have learnt are; Using the Serif Movie to edit my videos , this is because I put all the videos together to do the shot reverse shots and 180 degree rule learning how to use this made the video flow and look professional. To edit and put the videos together I also learnt how to use the ‘Trim’ tool which cropped some of the video down. I have used framing by cropping some of the videos so the audience know where the actors are for example mine are in a room and you know this because I have used a mid-shot of Malaya the female teenager and the male teenager talking at a 180 degree angle. However I used the crop tool in Movie Serif because you could see the bottom half of the casts body and it's not really a mid-shot if legs are seen as well as this it helped ensuring that the main focus is always central.. Using the crop tool also helped me when shortening the audio sounds as well
- 3. I have learnt how to apply text, change the colour and font of the text clip over the videos; this helped me a lot from when I was adding text clips for the appearing titles throughout the product. Changing the colour, size and font made it more appealing for my audience members and I did this so they could see the text clearly. I have used fonts for titles by creating a variety of them in Photoshop. I did a variety of them so I could get a idea of what title would be suitable for my genre and product. As well as this I used the fonts on the Movie Serif so it was easier and less time consuming. For my production logo I used Photoshop and I added a simple light bulb logo from one of the shapes icon in the panel and then from this I filled the light bulb with the colour yellow so it symbolises bright ideas and this is how I created my production company logo. After this in phosphor I used its font’s text to type the name in a type writing font.
- 4. I used sound audio from using YouTube videos and sending the links to myself so I could transfer them into my video this made the ending of the opening sequence look real as it was a audio clip of someone crying. I also had the sound of Malaya wincing at her bruise so it makes it more intense for the audience as it seems painless so this creates realism in the opening sequence. As well as learning skills of video editing software i have also used time management and organisation by using my own time after school on Wednesdays and Thursday's to edit my product in order to make sure it looks professional and how I imagined it to be when planning the video. I've also learnt how to use Weebly, I learnt how to transfer documents and the embedded code for the videos on different pages. I also learnt how to change the blogs theme and fonts so I could personalise it myself.
- 5. With the camera I learnt how to zoom in on some scenes so it could be a close up shot. I leant that I needed a tripod to keep the camera steady, as well as this I learnt how to do different angles such as the mid shot, close up, panning, tracking ect.
