Question 6

1. Evaluation – Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product?

2. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
I used premiere to do all of my editing and to create my titles. As I had
not had a lot of experience with premiere I had to learn how to use it
through practise tasks as well as actually editing my film opening.
I made about 6 different versions of my film opening as I wanted to
make changes to it as my editing skills got better. Premiere is available
to everyone and is even used by professional film makers. Gareth
Edwards used premiere to solely edit his film Monsters.
This screenshot is of my film opening project on
premiere. This is the final cut of my exam edit but
I also have a longer directors cut that has more
shots and cuts.
This screenshot is of the title I created for my film
opening. I would have liked to make it a lot more
animated and professional but my editing skills
on premiere need to be furthered to achieve this.

3. YouTube
YouTube is a video sharing website. It
was created in 2005 by 3 former
PayPal employees, in 2006 it was sold
to Google for $1.65 billion.
I used YouTube to watch other film
openings to get my ideas flowing. I
also uploaded my film opening onto
YouTube so it was possible to embed
it onto my blogger. YouTube is a very
useful resource to have as I could
have used it to find sound effects
and/or music but my final film
opening edit did not have any music
or sound effects.
This is my film opening opened on YouTube in theatre mode.

4. Blogger
Blogger is a free weblog publishing tool for
sharing text photos and video. It was also
bought by Google in 2003.
I uploaded all of my coursework onto
blogger including my preliminary task, my
pre-production, my film opening and my
evaluation. This was the first time that I had
ever had a blog of any type and was quite
confusing to start off with, but after a while
it becomes quite simple to use. I think it is a
good platform to publish work onto as there
are many formats to choose from which will
give any blog a unique and interesting
design.
This is what my blog looks like when it is first
opened. I chose to use a tiled design as I felt it
was cleaner and more eye-catching.

5. Google Chrome is a browser and I
used it to do all of my internet
browsing. I also used it as a search
engine for my research and pre-
production.
I think that Chrome is the best
internet browser because it has a
simple advanced interface.
I also used Microsoft Word a lot in
my pre-production as well. I used it
to create draft documents of my
script and equipment list. I used
Word because it is very easy to edit
and change which I found useful as
I wanted to make a lot of changes
throughout the process.
I am using Microsoft PowerPoint
2010 right now. I used PowerPoint
a lot in my pre-production and
evaluation because it is simple to
use and produces professional
work. PowerPoint is one of my
favourite programmes to use as I
have used it for years and am quite
experienced with it.
Slideshare is a programme on the internet that allows
people to upload PowerPoint and Word documents as well
as Adobe PDF portfolios.
I uploaded my Word documents and PowerPoints to
Slideshare because once they are uploaded they can be
embedded onto my blog which is what I wanted.
