Research and planning

Technology How it was used

DafontWe used Dafont because it is an amazing

website that has thousands of different fonts that we could use for our OTS, especially to

match the style that we were aiming for.

Youtube

We used youtube for our research and planning because it is a great site for

researching different things that we need, for example we used it to compare our ots

to films with similar opening title sequences and see what aspects of them we need to

keep.

ConstructionTechnology How it was used

Camera

The camera was a rather important technology to use in our film, this is because we filmed all of our footage on it and without it the quality wouldn’t have been as good as it is now. The camera that we used was a DSLR 1150D Canon with a class 10 32g SD

card.

IPhones

We used iphones during the construction of our OTS for communication and also to add

to our research and planning. We used them to see what time we should meet at

our location and what items we would need to bring, e.g different props. Also we took pictures of the construction to add to our

research and planning.

Evaluation

Technology How it was used

Emaze

We used this website to do question 2 of our evaluation. This question was about

representation of different social groups. We decided to use this website because it was different to the normal presentation apps such as keynote and powerpoint, it

would also show the range of different ICT that we used.

Research and Planning Technology How was it used

Prezi We used Prezi because it is an easy , affective and

interactive way of expressing ideas and planning our work. It was easy to use as it was

set out in a simple way. This made plotting answers and

ideas easy.

Apple Macs We used the macs as our main technology to plan out and research information for our OTS. On the Macs we used

many different online sites like Prezi to create power points as

well as research information and other films on google and

on the internet.

ConstructionTechnology How was it used

Tripod We used the tripod in our OTS to achieve a steadier, more focused and less shakey camera during filming. The tripod was crucial to filming as it allowed us to get smooth and good quality shots as well as get a variety of different shots from different angles.

Garageband We used garageband to create music for our opening title sequence. Garageband was crucial as it allowed us to make our own music that we liked and wanted. It also made the OTS better as the music added tension and drama to the OTS. It was simple and easy to use.

Evaluation Technology How was it

used?

Powtoon We used Powtoon for question 3, which was What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? Powtoon was an easy, interesting and affective way of laying out our answers to the question. We used it because Powtoon is very different and interesting compared to other slide sites because it is colourful and has many different animations which would allow us to show different computer skills and techniques.

Research and PlanningTechnology How was it used

Slideshare We used slideshare as it is an effective and efficient method to use for our work. We used this to embed our keynotes on to the blog, which was essential. This software presented no faults and was easily used.

Art of the title We used art of the title at the very beginning of this project. We used this as inspiration for ideas as it is a collection of opening title sequences, thus allowing us to collate our knowledge.

Construction Technology How was it used

Final cut We used final cut as our secondary editing software to edit our opening. We organised shots, put in transitions and added filters onto the screen to create effect. This software was an effective tool within our construction.

Dafont We used dafont within our construction similarly to our planning. We used dafont as a means to create titles which were appropriate to our genre, zombie horror, we also used it in photoshop when creating our production company backgrounds and main title.

EvaluationTechnology How was it

used?

Screencast We used screencast as a way to film ourselves and evaluate our film. This allowed us to upload videos, as a group and individually, straight to youtube. This shows that it was a fast and easy way to aid in our evaluation.
