1. Question 6 - What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of constructing the
media product
Ayaan
2. Blogger is a website that I had personally never used before. It’s associated with
Google and allows people to publish blog posts on their own personal profile.
Blogger is hugely important regarding my media studies work as it was where I
published my coursework. Every piece of work i completed i would publish on to
blogger.
iMovie is another technological aspect i was not familiar with, I had never used
iMovie before, however i found it easy and simple to use when editing my
preliminary and shot by shot remake.
3. Youtube was a website that i was very familiar with before the project however I
was not sure how to upload and stream my videos. I used Youtube to publish my
videos on such as my preliminary task, shot by shot remake and my final task. I
used Youtube to embed videos onto my blog, this is a skill i gained during the
process.
Slideshare are presentation software websites that allow me to upload
presentations and upload them onto my blog by copying and pasting the embed
code. This is very useful and help me during my research and planning.
4. Before this i has a basic understanding of how to use a camera to take pictures
and record videos, however for our media project using a camera was more
difficult. This is because we had to ensure all the shots were in focus, this was
mainly difficult for me as i was the cameraperson and filmed all the shots, (besides
one) I found this difficult because although the shots would look in focus in the
camera however they would sometimes turn out to be blurry on the computer. In
our test shoot the majority of our footage was out of focus which made me more
aware during the final opening to make all the shots in focus.
5. Adobe Premier Pro was used to edit our final opening as it was more professional
than iMovie, personally i found Premier Pro a lot more difficult and took longer to
adjust to. However Adobe Premier Pro provided us more accurate editing and
gave us many more options which allowed us to edit to our satisfaction.
Garageband was used to make our background sounds throughout our film
opening. We used copyright free sounds for some parts of our film, However we
also used our own sound. Such as the crash sound was made by Sonia and I, we
used school equipment such as a chair and a metal pole and dragged/threw them
on the floor to create a crash noise. We also layered our sound sound with
copyright free sounds to make it more original.
