Question 6: What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of constructing this
product?
In the production of my filmI used a range of different technologies to help create
my final outcome.
Camera
When films had just started being produced technology wasn’t as developed as the
present day. The first motion picture camera was invented by Louis Le Prince in the
1880s, while working in Leeds, England. Although the camera was capable of
'capturing' motion, it was not a complete success because each lens photographed
the subject from a slightly different viewpoint, with the result that foreground
elements in the projected scene wove about relative to each other and to the
background.
The canon 700d
When filming my filmthe camera that I had access to was the
canon 700D. This camera is brilliant for beginning film making, it
is easy to use so first time users will have no problem finding out
how to use it. You can capture every detail with an 18-megapixel
Hybrid CMOS AF sensor. The EOS 700D produces low-noise
images that can be printed at large sizes or cropped for
alternative compositions. This means that as well as being easy to
use it also shoots in high quality making it easy to make high
quality films.
Photoshop
Photoshop was founded in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since
then, it has become the go to industry standard in graphics editing.
For my filmI used Photoshop to create a logo for my film company
Goodall films.
Using Photoshop is easy once the user gets used to how the tools
work and where you can locate the tools you need to edit. Creating
my logo was very straight forward I used Photoshop to position the
text of my logo on top of a black background to create a very simple
but effective logo. When using Photoshop you can use layers and you
can edit one layer without effecting the others, you can work on layers separately or
together which makes editing a lot easier as well as the access to tools that allow you to

crop, morph, change the colour of and make photos 3D as a start. As well as tools there are
also effects that can add to your photo to make it better.
Premiere Pro
Adobe premiere pro is a timeline-based video editing software used by
broadcasters such as the BBC and CNN. It has been used to edit feature
films, such as Gone Girl, Captain Abu Raed, and Monsters.
I used premiere pro to edit my finished media film opening. Using premiere
pro is relatively easy even for beginners; I use this programme because I
know how to use it better than other editing software’s which makes the
editing process a lot easier.
Prezi
Prezi is cloud-based presentation software based on software as a service model. The
product employs a zooming user interface, which allows users to zoom in and out of
their presentation media, and allows users to display and navigate through
information within a 2.5D. Prezi was officially established in April 2009 by co-
founders Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy and Peter Arvai.
I used Prezi to complete question 1 of my evaluation, using Prezi is straightforward and
it looks a lot more professional compared to other presentation software’s.
Slideshare
Slideshare is a Web 2.0 based slide hosting service. Users can upload
files privately or publicly in the following file
formats: PowerPoint, PDF, and
Keynote or OpenDocument presentations. Slide decks can then be
viewed on the site itself, on hand held devices or embedded on other
sites. When I use Slideshare I use it to upload word documents and
PowerPoints so that I can copy the embedded code in order to post
that document onto blogger without having to write onto a black blog
post.
Blogger
Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs with time-
stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought
by Google in 2003. Blogs can also be hosted in the registered custom
domain of the blogger. A user can have up to 100 blogs per account. I use
blogger to post all of my media studies coursework on so that it is all in one
place when being marked and so that it is easy to mark for the assessor.
