Evaluation Q6

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

2. As the majority of the film was going to be of sports action we would need a suitable camera. Mountain bikers film
their rides all the time and most of them use GoPro which is arguably the best sports camera as it is used by
professionals. The camera is the best option as it is both durable and high quality filming. The camera can film up
to 1440 and has a wide high quality lenses which means you can capture everything you are passing. The GoPro
also has a wide variety of mount which enabled us to attach the camera to the bike and get the unique shots.
Although this is the best Camera for the task at hand it does not provide the best sound quality as it is not the
main function of the camera. This was not too big of an issue because there was no dialog in the film.

4. On the GoPro that we were using their
was no screen that we could use to see
what the GoPro was shooting
(viewfinder) so we decided to work
around this problem by using the
GoPro Wi-Fi to our phone and used
the GoPro app which would relay the
picture it was shooting and then we
could adjust the shot if it was wrong.
Also by using this feature it allowed us to see the
camera status, so the battery life and the library for
example. It also gave us control to start the GoPro.
This gave us the freedom to go on long trails and
stop the footage when appropriate on the trail rather
then waiting till the end and then stopping it
manually and being left with a larger amount of
unwanted footage and taking up the storage space.

5.  We found that we would have to be doing a lot of filming which the
GoPro would not be suitable for. We had to film things like interviews
and evaluations, so we decided to use a mobile phone camera. Over the
past few years technology has developed drastically so much so it
allows us to do some quality HD filming on a phone which makes the
film more accessible and easier to upload to the internet. It also meant
that we could share the film easily within the group which made the
film easy to edit the film and we could manage our time much more
efficiently.

6. I have learnt to
use blogger so
that I can display
all of my media
texts. It is an easy
and more robust
way of displaying
work as it can be
seen by anyone
at any time.
Slideshare is a site where
you have to make an
account. What allows
you to do is share your
PowerPoints with the
internet. It makes your
work accessible as you
can access it from almost
anywhere.
Social media allowed us as a
team to stay connected when
working in separate locations
this made our production
process much more efficient as
we could share the work.
furthermore social media
allowed us to share our work
with the world and promote it
and get feedback.
Prezi was a more diverse way of
composing some of our
evaluation work. It is like
PowerPoint but a modern and
inventive take on it. it allows
you to present your work in a
more creative way. It also allows
you to share your work with
more ease as it is internet based.

7. As our title sequence was
essentially a biking montage
with no dialog it was vital that
we selected the right music as it
would be the only thing you
would hear. Sound cloud
provided us with a huge library
of non copyrighted music.
Art of the title is an excellent website which has
a vast library of title sequence which would
could use to conduct our research. It has loads
of different genres and inventive ways on title
sequence construction. You could find both old
and new titles. This site was a big influence on
our work because we took a lot of our
inspiration from the titles we saw on the art of
the title.
This is a site that helped us with our
audience research and how our film
compared with others. We used it to
establish our target audience.
YouTube aloud us to perform a multitude of
tasks such as research and displaying our title
sequence. It is also useful to annotate the title
sequence because it has features which allow
you to edit your videos and add text.
