Evaluation 6:What have I learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Below are just a few technologies that we used which are mentioned in the film above;

BLOGGER – I used blogger as a diary to update on what I was doing, step by step, to make my film. I also wrote about things that I had learnt about while doing this coursework and what I have achieved along the way and put posts along the way on them.

FINAL CUT EXPRESS-I used final cut express to edit my filming clips together. I edited the clips, the music and the special effects together to create the final product. I had to learn the technology from scratch which was quite easy as the technical parts were very easy to gather and learn.

STILL AND DIGITAL CAMERA-I used both of these pieces of equipment to capture my film. I used the digital camera all the way through the filming process to capture the scenes that I would eventually put into my film and when I was filming my audience research interviews. I used the still cameras to capture the storyboard and then putting them on to my blog.

GOOGLE-I used Google quite frequently to gather pictures that I put onto my blog to illustrate my point that I was trying to make and make my blog look more colourful. Also to get information which I needed to put onto my blog and into my film.

MOBY GRATIS-I used this site to get non copyright music. I downloaded three songs from this site which are played throughout the film.

YOUTUBE-I used Youtube to upload various videos that I have made and edit so I could put it on the blog to document my work. I put my preliminary task, my preliminary task’s storyboard, my films storyboard, my panda productions ident, my first draft film, my final film and the evaluation. Plus all of these are on my blog

SURVEY MONKEY-I used survey monkey to gather results for an audience research. This was a very good site as I could produce, send and collect the information all on this site. My results to the survey are on Facebook and my blog.

SLIDE SHARE- I used slideshare to create presentations which I generated throughout my coursework.

WOODLE – I only used Woodle twice. This was to create the audience research answer. This helped to pinpoint what the audience liked about the thriller genre and obviously what they didn’t. This also helped to see what I would have to include in my own thriller film to make it exciting for the audience to watch on. Also once I put it on my blog it made it more interesting to look at than writing.

BLACKBERRY-I used this throughout my coursework to take snap shots of the day to show you what we have been up to. I then put the pictures on my blog by bluetoothing it over.
