Evaluation Question 6 Adam Russell Resit

What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing the product?

In the planning and production of our film opening we used a wide range of technologies to bring the project to life. These technologies helped us create a high quality final product. The equipment that we used had both positive and negatives while in use which goes as follows…….


Research and planning

YouTube

I used YouTube to find videos to analyse and take ideas from. This was a very important website for me as it made it very easy to find film openings so that i could analyse them and learn how they work in order for them to be entertaining.















Blogger

I used Blogger to write and individual and group blog in which I used to log data to help explain what I have been learning and what I have been doing for the task set. I also used it to log my analysis's of film openings so that we could make the best final product  as possible.

Internet explorer/ Google

I used the internet to use internet explorer and to find the bulk of the information that I posted on blogger I used the search engine Google to find websites that had appropriate information on to help me learn and explain certain information it was also very useful for me to save and embed images to help back up my points. For example I could find images to help back up certain genres costumes and convention etc.

Construction

I phone 6

While filming our music video we used an IPhone 6 camera. We felt that this would have the best quality camera that we could get hold off so that we could get the best final finish to the video as possible. I think that the IPhone was very useful as It was very good quality and could be used to film the first person shot very easily as it is very small and light.

















The down side to using the iPhone was that in the cold and while filming the battery would drain very quickly so therefore we normally had a limited time 

I movie

On the IMacs we used I movie maker to edit our film opening this was a very good piece of technology to use as it was easily accessible for us to use because we could use it at any time during the school hours and after school as well. It was very easy to use as all you needed to do was upload footage from your camera or phone and you could easily cut and split clips in order to make videos. 

























Evaluation

Prezi 

I used Prezi a presentation program to create an interesting and engaging answer to the evaluation question this was a very useful program as it allowed me to easily create a presentation that is more interesting than the likes of Microsoft PowerPoint.  

Emaze

I used another presentation program emaze to assist me in creating an interesting way to present one of the evaluation questions. It was a very helpful program as it made it very easy for me to create an interesting presentation to present and explain one of the evaluation questions.

Editing

On the IMacs we used I movie to edit and use a microphone to make a video answering the evaluation questions this was a simple and easy way to answer the question as all the resources were waiting and ready for myself to use. The problem that I had was the fact that there was an number of people waiting to the same mac to do the same thing so it was very hard to slot myself in to be able to use the mac and do this task.
