EVALUATION OF USES
OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Use of Digital Technology for
Research
Search engines are
websites that have
indexed millions of
web pages together
into one place.
There are many
popular search
engines used, these
include: Google,
Yahoo and Bing.
Search Engines
Search engines were
one of the main
tools that helped us
during our planning
and researching
stage. Search
engines make it
super easy to find
the information
your looking for by
simply searching the
key words related to
what your looking
for.
What are the benefits of search engines?
Search Engines
Offers a wide variety and quantity of information which can be very useful when
researching a specific topic.
Search engines help to keep the internet organized and recognizable to the viewer.
Search engines provide more precise results compared to searching on the world wide
web (WWW).
There are many websites that were particularly resourceful when it came down to
research and planning for our opening sequence. This is because they gather a
great deal of information about the same topic in one place. Some websites that
we found very helpful include:
Web Pages
What is YouTube?
YouTube is a video sharing website that
allows users to upload, share and comment
on videos.
Was YouTube helpful?
YouTube was one of the best websites to use
during are researching process. We were able
use YouTube to view scenes and opening
sequences from specific films that were
relevant to our genre. This made targeting our
research and restricting our searches to more
relevant material easy and convenient.
What is IMDB?
IMDB is an online database which holds database from various movies, T.V shows
and games worldwide.
Shows actors, director, genre and rating.
Has over 2 million movies.
Pros:
• Easy to identify our genre
movies.
• Has a wide range of movies
to pick from.
• Easy to use.
Cons:
• Anyone can sign in
and edit page.
Wikipedia
Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and this has a lot of information about films and the
movie industry on it.
We could easily search for our
genre in search bar.
Shortcut links so quick and easy to
use.
Anyone can log in and edit the
page, this is both an advantage
(lots of collaborative sharing) and
a drawback (info might not be
accurate) to this website.
We could easily identify what we
wanted and gave us good
information.
A main part of our research
was watching opening
sequences from DVDs.
Watched various DVDs to
get different ideas.
Put our research into Blogger.
We were able to take
screenshots to illustrate our
ideas about camera angles etc.
DVD
Was quite time-consuming and awkward to find the
different DVDs and stop and start them – not the
most convenient digital technology compared with
inline hosting sites.
Summary – Research and
Digital Technology
• Blogger was a useful site for hosting our
research – it meant we had easy access to it
at all times.
• Being able to use the internet to carry out
research was massively useful – it would be
so difficult and expensive to source the
number of film openings we watched in any
other way.
Uses of Digital Technology for
Planning
One of the main tools we used
during our planning stages was
the website Blogger. Blogger
allowed us all to upload our
plans to one site where
everyone in our group could
see it. It is one of our most
important uses of digital
technology.
Blogger
One example of a plan we uploaded to blogger
was our storyboard. This was a collection of
post-its that arranged the shots/techniques
that we were going to use in order. This was
very helpful when it came to filming our piece
as we could access Blogger on our phones and
check over our plans.
Blogger
Planned what location to
use for interrogation scene
and church scene.
Planned layout of news
report scene.
Planned credits and title.
Planned what various of
shot we could use in
different locations.
Blogger
The massive advantage of this kind of
digital hosting site is being able to access
the planning of the whole group
anywhere at any time.
Presentations
Put our storyboard plan into a
video via YouTube so then we
could show our planned ideas.
Then we were filmed presenting
our plans to the class and
explaining our plot outline and
how we planned to start our film.
Then we added this to the blog so
we could get feedback and
progress with our planning what
to change – we were able to
comment on our own
performances.
Presentations
Final Cut Express
Final Cut Express was a very
helpful software to use
when it came to planning.
We used it in our prelim
task to get used to using it
as an editing tool.
We also used it to edit
together some practise
filming so we could film
with the edit in mind.
Summary – Planning and
Digital Technology
• Digital Technology certainly helped us
organise our planning and the blog gave us a
good location to keep all our work and to be
able to access work across the group easily.
• We did find that we still tended to do a lot of
planning on paper as this is how we felt most
comfortable and worked most efficiently.
Final Cut Express
LiveType
Adobe Photoshop
Use of Digital Technology for
Construction
The main camera we used for recording our
piece was a Canon camera. This camera was
very basic and easy to use, this made it
helpful when it came to recording our
sequence.
Filming Equipment
A tripod was also used for filming our sequence.
In my opinion this was one of the most important
piece of equipment that we used as it allowed us
to make sure that the camera was steady when
we were filming. However, it is not digital – this
shows that not everything that worked well for us
is a product of digital technology.
Final Cut Express
Final Cut Express is a digital editing package and was the most important tool
we used in the construction of our opening sequence as it allows for the
manipulation and editing of our footage in professional ways.
Final Cut Express
We were able to order our initial footage in the browser and delete any clips we knew
we would not use after an initial edit. We could open individual clips and make the
viewer larger so that we could really see what we were editing. We were also able to
play the edited version in the canvas on the timeline. This kind of ability to see many
views as you edit is one of the main advantages of digital editing programmes.
Editing on Final Cut Express
This was the main editing package we used and the most important use of
digital technology in our piece in many ways. We were able to store our clips
in the browser and manipulate them as we wanted on the timeline. Any
changes we did not like could easily be undone and the clips used again
without any permanent changes having been made to the original footage.
Sound, Image and Credits
Here you can see how our sequence is composed of sound, image and credits
together. The video clips have been trimmed and ordered into the correct
sequence at the correct times. The volume of each audio clip has also been
adjusted and credits created in LiveType and placed above the relevant clip
where they were adjusted and animated. This is the basis of editing.
Building Sequence
The whole sequence was built on the principle of layering – we used a series
of layers on both video and audio timelines to create the whole piece. This
was time-consuming and required a lot of precision and readjustment. We
had to constantly replay at the starts of lessons to remember where we had
got up to and what needed to be done.
Advantages of using Final Cut Express
• Lots of tools for editing
• Easy to learn and use
Disadvantages of using Final Cut Express
• Had to work on separate computers to get
all of the work done then merge it
• Time consuming, a lot of editing requires
time and patience
Editing on Final Cut Express
Ident
This was constructed using a mixture of the website
giphy, Final Cut Express, LiveType and
freesound.org.
We found an animated gif on the site giphy.com and
used screen capture technology to take a section of
this to form the basis of our work. We then adjusted
the colours of this to make it dark grey and white,
which we felt better encapsulated the idea of an
oxymoron. This was then imported into FCE and we
added a name on LiveType and a jingle we found on
a copyright free website.
This ability to combine work on various packages
has developed as we have gone through the course.
Photoshop for News Report
We constructed a newsreport through a combination of different digital packages.
We filmed a teacher reading the report against a white screen, then added some
of our footage in a small screen and took the BBC logo from the internet. We then
created a red band on Photoshop making sure we colour matched it with the BBC
logo and added text to give the impression of breaking news.
LiveType was the
software we used to
create our title and
credits. LiveType
allowed us to put
transitions on our
credits which made
them look a lot
better in our
sequence. Once we
created the credits
we could easily
transfer them to
Final Cut Express.
LiveType
Had to get font, font colour and size right and also
timings of the length of the credits and the effects with
which they appeared / disappeared..
Not all digital technology is easy to use – one of the
disadvantages is that it is time consuming to learn.
It was a good
software to
use because it
offered
different fonts
and
animations.
We used LiveType in order to
make our credits
Using LiveType offered us
the chance to see our
credits before they were
on the opening sequence
LiveType as a
software was
simple to use,
the most
effective part
was using the
animations and
seeing how
they would
effect our piece
LiveType
Summary – Construction and
Digital Technology
• It is hard to imagine constructing this project
without the benefit of digital technology. We do
not have the skills to use cameras that are not
digital, and although the editing packages may
have taken some time to learn, it is certainly
easier to edit this way than in the old style with
film. Probably the main benefit has been being
able to work on different versions of the same
work and being able to constantly undo and start
again if needed.
Use of Digital Technology for
Evaluation
Blogger
Blogger allowed us to present our
evaluation work in a variety of formats
and to keep it all together in one
accessible place.
Blogger helped us to organise our
evaluations - posts listed by title –
organized and appear in chronological order
View and comments system – useful
for ideas and improvements
Blogger
Linking Research and Evaluation
Blogger helped us to link our research with our evaluation. For example, we did
a substantial amount of research into target audiences early on. When we came
to evaluate this concept, we were able to link the two posts together as shown
above so that the two could be read together and the work could be seen as a
whole.
Comments and Feedback
One of the greatest advantages of digital technology like Blogger is that
we can share our work with others very easily and there is easy
interaction. We received feedback on a rough cut from a school in Leeds
which proved very useful.
Variety of Formats
We were able to vary the presentation of our
work as Blogger allows us to post work in
almost any media. This meant we could chose
appropriate formats for each task. For example,
We used a collage of images (contact sheet) to
prompt a discussion on use of genre
conventions because the montage showed our
common themes and ideas.
And here a Photoshop
poster was used to
evaluate target audience as
it helped structure the
comments.
Variety of Formats
Thinking through our ideas on our uses of
technologies as individuals was useful as it
enabled us to think about a range of issues
and come up with our own answers and
examples before trying to make some kind
of analysis of the ideas of the group.
Group presentations were a
more lively and interesting
way of presenting ideas
and allowed for some kind
of debate on the issues
where there are no right
and wrong answers.
Advantages of using Blogger:
• Can view the work of others to get
ideas
• Easily organize work
• Comments give possible
improvements
Disadvantages of using Blogger
• Lack of editing tools compared to
the interface of programs such as
‘Word’
• Accidental unsaved work, loss of
internet
Blogger
Summary – Evaluation and
Digital Technology
• Overall, digital technology was extremely
helpful for us with our evaluation. In fact,
this was the only stage of the course
where we did not find ourselves turning to
old media from time to time, but used
digital media virtually throughout. It has
helped us share our ideas and produce a
series of evaluations that are linked.

Oxymoron

  • 1. EVALUATION OF USES OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
  • 2. Use of Digital Technology for Research
  • 3. Search engines are websites that have indexed millions of web pages together into one place. There are many popular search engines used, these include: Google, Yahoo and Bing. Search Engines Search engines were one of the main tools that helped us during our planning and researching stage. Search engines make it super easy to find the information your looking for by simply searching the key words related to what your looking for.
  • 4. What are the benefits of search engines? Search Engines Offers a wide variety and quantity of information which can be very useful when researching a specific topic. Search engines help to keep the internet organized and recognizable to the viewer. Search engines provide more precise results compared to searching on the world wide web (WWW).
  • 5. There are many websites that were particularly resourceful when it came down to research and planning for our opening sequence. This is because they gather a great deal of information about the same topic in one place. Some websites that we found very helpful include: Web Pages
  • 6. What is YouTube? YouTube is a video sharing website that allows users to upload, share and comment on videos. Was YouTube helpful? YouTube was one of the best websites to use during are researching process. We were able use YouTube to view scenes and opening sequences from specific films that were relevant to our genre. This made targeting our research and restricting our searches to more relevant material easy and convenient.
  • 7. What is IMDB? IMDB is an online database which holds database from various movies, T.V shows and games worldwide. Shows actors, director, genre and rating. Has over 2 million movies. Pros: • Easy to identify our genre movies. • Has a wide range of movies to pick from. • Easy to use. Cons: • Anyone can sign in and edit page.
  • 8. Wikipedia Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and this has a lot of information about films and the movie industry on it. We could easily search for our genre in search bar. Shortcut links so quick and easy to use. Anyone can log in and edit the page, this is both an advantage (lots of collaborative sharing) and a drawback (info might not be accurate) to this website. We could easily identify what we wanted and gave us good information.
  • 9. A main part of our research was watching opening sequences from DVDs. Watched various DVDs to get different ideas. Put our research into Blogger. We were able to take screenshots to illustrate our ideas about camera angles etc. DVD Was quite time-consuming and awkward to find the different DVDs and stop and start them – not the most convenient digital technology compared with inline hosting sites.
  • 10. Summary – Research and Digital Technology • Blogger was a useful site for hosting our research – it meant we had easy access to it at all times. • Being able to use the internet to carry out research was massively useful – it would be so difficult and expensive to source the number of film openings we watched in any other way.
  • 11. Uses of Digital Technology for Planning
  • 12. One of the main tools we used during our planning stages was the website Blogger. Blogger allowed us all to upload our plans to one site where everyone in our group could see it. It is one of our most important uses of digital technology. Blogger One example of a plan we uploaded to blogger was our storyboard. This was a collection of post-its that arranged the shots/techniques that we were going to use in order. This was very helpful when it came to filming our piece as we could access Blogger on our phones and check over our plans.
  • 13. Blogger Planned what location to use for interrogation scene and church scene. Planned layout of news report scene. Planned credits and title. Planned what various of shot we could use in different locations. Blogger The massive advantage of this kind of digital hosting site is being able to access the planning of the whole group anywhere at any time.
  • 14. Presentations Put our storyboard plan into a video via YouTube so then we could show our planned ideas. Then we were filmed presenting our plans to the class and explaining our plot outline and how we planned to start our film. Then we added this to the blog so we could get feedback and progress with our planning what to change – we were able to comment on our own performances. Presentations
  • 15. Final Cut Express Final Cut Express was a very helpful software to use when it came to planning. We used it in our prelim task to get used to using it as an editing tool. We also used it to edit together some practise filming so we could film with the edit in mind.
  • 16. Summary – Planning and Digital Technology • Digital Technology certainly helped us organise our planning and the blog gave us a good location to keep all our work and to be able to access work across the group easily. • We did find that we still tended to do a lot of planning on paper as this is how we felt most comfortable and worked most efficiently.
  • 17. Final Cut Express LiveType Adobe Photoshop Use of Digital Technology for Construction
  • 18. The main camera we used for recording our piece was a Canon camera. This camera was very basic and easy to use, this made it helpful when it came to recording our sequence. Filming Equipment A tripod was also used for filming our sequence. In my opinion this was one of the most important piece of equipment that we used as it allowed us to make sure that the camera was steady when we were filming. However, it is not digital – this shows that not everything that worked well for us is a product of digital technology.
  • 19. Final Cut Express Final Cut Express is a digital editing package and was the most important tool we used in the construction of our opening sequence as it allows for the manipulation and editing of our footage in professional ways.
  • 20. Final Cut Express We were able to order our initial footage in the browser and delete any clips we knew we would not use after an initial edit. We could open individual clips and make the viewer larger so that we could really see what we were editing. We were also able to play the edited version in the canvas on the timeline. This kind of ability to see many views as you edit is one of the main advantages of digital editing programmes.
  • 21. Editing on Final Cut Express This was the main editing package we used and the most important use of digital technology in our piece in many ways. We were able to store our clips in the browser and manipulate them as we wanted on the timeline. Any changes we did not like could easily be undone and the clips used again without any permanent changes having been made to the original footage.
  • 22. Sound, Image and Credits Here you can see how our sequence is composed of sound, image and credits together. The video clips have been trimmed and ordered into the correct sequence at the correct times. The volume of each audio clip has also been adjusted and credits created in LiveType and placed above the relevant clip where they were adjusted and animated. This is the basis of editing.
  • 23. Building Sequence The whole sequence was built on the principle of layering – we used a series of layers on both video and audio timelines to create the whole piece. This was time-consuming and required a lot of precision and readjustment. We had to constantly replay at the starts of lessons to remember where we had got up to and what needed to be done.
  • 24. Advantages of using Final Cut Express • Lots of tools for editing • Easy to learn and use Disadvantages of using Final Cut Express • Had to work on separate computers to get all of the work done then merge it • Time consuming, a lot of editing requires time and patience Editing on Final Cut Express
  • 25. Ident This was constructed using a mixture of the website giphy, Final Cut Express, LiveType and freesound.org. We found an animated gif on the site giphy.com and used screen capture technology to take a section of this to form the basis of our work. We then adjusted the colours of this to make it dark grey and white, which we felt better encapsulated the idea of an oxymoron. This was then imported into FCE and we added a name on LiveType and a jingle we found on a copyright free website. This ability to combine work on various packages has developed as we have gone through the course.
  • 26. Photoshop for News Report We constructed a newsreport through a combination of different digital packages. We filmed a teacher reading the report against a white screen, then added some of our footage in a small screen and took the BBC logo from the internet. We then created a red band on Photoshop making sure we colour matched it with the BBC logo and added text to give the impression of breaking news.
  • 27. LiveType was the software we used to create our title and credits. LiveType allowed us to put transitions on our credits which made them look a lot better in our sequence. Once we created the credits we could easily transfer them to Final Cut Express. LiveType Had to get font, font colour and size right and also timings of the length of the credits and the effects with which they appeared / disappeared.. Not all digital technology is easy to use – one of the disadvantages is that it is time consuming to learn.
  • 28. It was a good software to use because it offered different fonts and animations. We used LiveType in order to make our credits Using LiveType offered us the chance to see our credits before they were on the opening sequence LiveType as a software was simple to use, the most effective part was using the animations and seeing how they would effect our piece LiveType
  • 29. Summary – Construction and Digital Technology • It is hard to imagine constructing this project without the benefit of digital technology. We do not have the skills to use cameras that are not digital, and although the editing packages may have taken some time to learn, it is certainly easier to edit this way than in the old style with film. Probably the main benefit has been being able to work on different versions of the same work and being able to constantly undo and start again if needed.
  • 30. Use of Digital Technology for Evaluation
  • 31. Blogger Blogger allowed us to present our evaluation work in a variety of formats and to keep it all together in one accessible place.
  • 32. Blogger helped us to organise our evaluations - posts listed by title – organized and appear in chronological order View and comments system – useful for ideas and improvements Blogger
  • 33. Linking Research and Evaluation Blogger helped us to link our research with our evaluation. For example, we did a substantial amount of research into target audiences early on. When we came to evaluate this concept, we were able to link the two posts together as shown above so that the two could be read together and the work could be seen as a whole.
  • 34. Comments and Feedback One of the greatest advantages of digital technology like Blogger is that we can share our work with others very easily and there is easy interaction. We received feedback on a rough cut from a school in Leeds which proved very useful.
  • 35. Variety of Formats We were able to vary the presentation of our work as Blogger allows us to post work in almost any media. This meant we could chose appropriate formats for each task. For example, We used a collage of images (contact sheet) to prompt a discussion on use of genre conventions because the montage showed our common themes and ideas. And here a Photoshop poster was used to evaluate target audience as it helped structure the comments.
  • 36. Variety of Formats Thinking through our ideas on our uses of technologies as individuals was useful as it enabled us to think about a range of issues and come up with our own answers and examples before trying to make some kind of analysis of the ideas of the group. Group presentations were a more lively and interesting way of presenting ideas and allowed for some kind of debate on the issues where there are no right and wrong answers.
  • 37. Advantages of using Blogger: • Can view the work of others to get ideas • Easily organize work • Comments give possible improvements Disadvantages of using Blogger • Lack of editing tools compared to the interface of programs such as ‘Word’ • Accidental unsaved work, loss of internet Blogger
  • 38. Summary – Evaluation and Digital Technology • Overall, digital technology was extremely helpful for us with our evaluation. In fact, this was the only stage of the course where we did not find ourselves turning to old media from time to time, but used digital media virtually throughout. It has helped us share our ideas and produce a series of evaluations that are linked.
