To present documents
but mostly PowerPoint's.
A creative way to present
my work.
It was successful as it
was a varied way of
presenting my work.
Furthermore, it is
easy to use.
I learnt how to present
my work differently
and in the future i will
explore diverse ways
to present my work.
Flip cam Used to film Vox Pop -
primary research. Also
to film evaluation part 2
and 6.
A better method of filming
compared to a HD
camera. Also, to gain
audience feedback and
evaluate our work.
It was successful
because it was light to
carry compared to
carrying a tripod etc.
Moreover, it was
simple to use.
Using a flip cam was a
new experience and i
felt that i improved, in
a sense that i am
more knowledgeable
about different ways
to record footage.
YouTube To embed videos on my
blog. For example; Vox
Pop and Sound Analysis
of train spotting.
A way of presenting my
work as it was more
suitable.
It was successful
because it was easy
to use and helped
share work onto my
blog. However, it
was unsuccessful
when i had to
annotate videos on
YouTube and the
tools took a while to
get used to and you
could only write so
many words.
I learnt how to present
my work differently
and in the future i will
explore diverse ways
to present my work.

will allow me to
become more creative
with graphics.

Final Cut Express BSR opening
sequence
To merge graphic and final
sequence together.
It was successful as
you could manipulate
graphics, for example,
we maximized the title
at the end of our
opening sequence and
also a fade in/out was
added. However, it
was unsuccessful as
the rendering took long
therefore it wasted time
and i got very
impatient. Moreover, it
took a long time to get
used to! and when
placing the graphics on
top of the footage, it
would sometimes
cause gaps to form so
the graphics would go
in-between instead of
layering on top of the
footage.
I have learnt how to
layer graphics on top
of footage. So, in
the future this will
come in handy as
next year we have to
make music videos
and i will be using
this software.
IMovie BSR opening
sequence
To edit footage It was successful as it
was easy to use since i
had prior knowledge.
My editing skills have
improved greatly
considering the
software had been
updated. This will
help in future
projects as a lot of
tasks including
editing awaits e.g.
music videos.
