Evaluation Question 6

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

Camera:

We used a camera to record the actual film. It was sometimes difficult to use as it didn’t always focus so we had to move the camera slower for it to be able to stay in focus. We also used a camera to take pictures of our progress which we then put on our blog.

Tripod:

We used this to keep the camera steady. It was sometimes better not to have the tripod when moving as it gave us less movable capability when walking round the room.

Here is a photo of a camera and tripod like the ones we used in filming:

Computer:

We used this for lots of different programs such as:

- YouTube

We used YouTube to look at other similar film openings and to find the music that we would use. Sometimes it didn’t always give us usable music so we had to search through a lot of results to find a good one.

- Adobe Premiere

We used this to edit our film. Some of the features were difficult to use so we had to learn by trial and error. Overall, this was a good programme to use because it enabled us to edit our film to be the way we wanted it to be.

- Blogger

We used this to show our progress through making the film. We kept a diary of what we were doing  and completed different tasks to show our progress throughout the filming project.

- Photoshop

We used this to make our film poster. Like Premiere, some of the features were difficult to use but after trying them out we got the hang of them.

Here is a photo of a Mac like the one we used to create our finished film:
