Evaluation 6 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

We used the computer the most during this  process, as it has software such as Premier Pro which is what we used to edit our project, it had Photoshop which we used to create our production company logo and Microsoft Power Point which is what we used to store all of our ideas and pictures. I also used Microsoft Word to write the script.

I uploaded all of our videos and practical work onto You Tube. I found that this was easiest way to attach our clips to Blogger and also for research. I discovered that as a group project it was for us to click the link to the video instead of using memory sticks to share the project. I've learnt that Youtube is a great resource and website for people to share their creativity and a great platform to get feedback. For evaluation 3 we decided to do a talk through on the voice recorder, I found out that you cant upload just audio files to You Tube so I put some of our pictures into a video and created our sequence for evaluation 3 on Premier Pro so it would upload to You Tube.          




I used Microsoft Word to write the script, obviously I had used word before but I found changing the layout was much more effective for writing in the style of a script.

Something that I used quite a lot during this project was Microsoft Power Point. If I thought of any ideas or pictures we could use on our blogs or on our project I would add on a slide on power point. it was also a very useful tool when including screen shots as I could edit them a lot quicker than I could on Photoshop. I also created the number plate clip on power point because again it was easier to fit the text to the car and change things around than it did on Photoshop. Currently i'm on 51 slides so I think that shows how much i've used it and what a help its been!

Charlotte edited our production company logo on Photoshop, we learnt how to layer multiple pictures and texts and create a professional picture.



We used Premier Pro to edit the project. Charlotte did the editing on the computer however I assisted when my input was needed. I learnt how to merge the clips together  and also how to make sure the sound is correct. in our first draft Rahibs voice over  was too quiet and you could hear what he was saying, so we edited our second draft we made sure to get the balance between the music and the audio correct.  I learnt how to speed up or slow down clips to make it fit with the music too.

Something that was very helpful during the planning process was Facebook Messenger, we created a group chat to organise stuff like costumes and dates outside of lessons.

 

 

 

 

 

Blogger was also useful for sharing ideas as it is easily accessible for us at home to communicate and add planning during the process

 

 

 

We used a Panasonic video camera for filming. when we had filmed a clip we would watch it back which was useful as it meant we didnt have to keep putting the clips on a computer to look at them. we also had a tripod which was imperitive for us becuase almost all of our shots where still on pan shots.
