Differnt Technologys
- 1. What we have learnt about different technologies while constructing the product?Since choosing Media AS,I have learnt to use a various different computering programmes, different equipment but also different websites such as Blogger.We learnt about using bloggers and podcasts before we started our coursework. Once constructing our product we learnt about using Blogger in order to publish our coursework on a planning and research page.BloggerWhen first using it I found it quite difficult to get used to due to the layout and not experiencing a blog page before, once i got used to it I found it useful and an easy way to publish my work but also to keep the whole group organised by putting up schedules and the whole group being able to view it.It had it times which made it difficult to layout my work by not being able to move pictures but a plus is you could upload YouTube videos onto it but also PowerPoint's via slide share to it.
- 2. EquipmentBy not being a experience filmier, the thought of filming the opening of our film was scary but once we got on with it, it was fairly fun but also I learnt allot.We used camcorders to film our footage but we also used such things as tripods and digital cameras.The tripod helped us to make a professional finish and to have a steady shot, which helped us in our final opening because in our primary task we didn't use it so it doesn't look professional, so i learnt if you use it , it gives a steady look but also a professional look.When using the digital camera to take the picture of the victim we found many effects so make the pictures look old. But we mainly used the digital camera to take the pictures for our planning page to take pictures of props and characters.I feel confident to use all these props again.
- 3. EditingTo edit our film we used iMovie this helped us to create the look we wanted for our film and overall found it very useful to use.This programme allowed us to cut footage and edit it but also add effects. We could add music to this programme then place onto our film but also direct sound we could add.This programme has endless effects and different things you can do on it but it was handy when editing our film. By using music, fade shots, by all these things it helped us create a professional look to our film.
