Evaluation Question 6What have you learnt about technologies
from the process of constructing the product?Before A level media I
wasnt very confident when it came to using a camera let alone use
Final Cut Pro in order to edit although I was not the editor within
my group. During these past few months I feel as though I have
learned an efficient amount in order for me to say I can use a Sony
Z1 camera confidently and use various software such as blogger
without having to be dependent on someone.
DSLR camera
This high quality camera called the DSLR was used in order to
produce a good standard opening sequence. Without the use of this
camera, our production wouldnt have looked of a good standard.
This SD card was always inserted into the camera in order for us
to film. This SD card had our footage on it ready to be used on a
computer in order for the editor to edit.SD Card
Tripod
This tripod was required in order for us to film. It was used to
hold the equipment and allowed us to capture steady and good
standard shots which were able to be used in our final
production.
We also used many websites throughout our production in order to
upload documents on to our blog which was on blogger. If it wasnt
for the use of some of these websites, our blog wouldnt be of a
good standard as these websites made our blog look presentable and
interesting. Websites such as scribd, prezzi, Slideshare and
calameo were found to be very helpful as they were all easy to use
and embed so that we could put them onto our blog.
Blogger was used in order for us to upload our documents so many
people were able to view them. In the beginning, my group and I
were not experienced with blogger and found it hard to use but as
weeks went by we were slowly able to develop our understanding of
the website which was essential for us to be able to do in order
make our blog look presentable.
YouTube was used throughout our production in order to view
videos for inspiration for our film and it was used to obtain
information about for instance, shot reverse shot and the 180
degree rule. YouTube was also used to upload our final
production.
Final cut pro was mainly used by the editor in order to edit the
work we filmed and to add effects to it to make it our final
production appeal to the audience. Final cut pro was extremely
useful as without it, we would have been unable to produce the
quality of work we did for our film.
