Question 6
1. 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
The first motion picture camera was invented by Louis Le Prince in the 1880s, while
working in Leeds, England. This camera was able to capture moving images but the
result wasn’t fluid and the foreground often stood out differently from the
background giving a weird effect.
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. As well as being easy to use it produces high quality
images and films that are great for independent film makers.
Photoshop
Photoshop was founded in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. It is
used by millions of people for editing photos with a wide range of tools and effects.
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 video editing software that allows the user to add
video clips and images and edit them into one finished piece. It has been
used to edit feature films, such as Gone Girl, dead pool, and Monsters.
2. 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 a presentation software used by businesses and schools to present
information in forms like a power point but a more professional. Prezi was founded 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 website that allows users to upload files to their own
page and then allows users to use web 2.0 to search up specific
subjects connected to key words. 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 website that allows users to post a rage of different blog posts
on one page whether it’s a lifestyle blog or to do with education. It was
created by Pyra Labs, and was bought by Google in 2003. 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.
