Evaluation - Activity 6

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

We used many different tools and technologies and other media products/kit to help construct our final media product.

We used:

School/Home computers - To edit and upload/update new features onto our blogs.

School supplied camera and tape - We used these film and record our opening two minutes aswell as filming audience feedback and directors commentary.

Microphone - Extension microphone used for our opening two minutes allowing us to get a good quality of sound from the character outdoors.

Tripod - We relied on the tripod for many steady shots to enhance a better quality of filming.

Car - To travel to each different location safely and comftably. (It was freezing)

Ipod - This was used as a prop in our scene of William being mugged, to help illustrate wealth.

Wallet & Keys - This was used as a prop in our shot of expressing the materialistic goods in Williams house as he goes to pick up both items. (match on action)

Phone - This prop was used when William is first introduced showing the audience the contrast on how William has up to date technology at his finger tips.

Fruity Loops 8 Home Studio - This was used at home to construct a suitable soundtrack for our opening sequence.

Adobe - We used Adobe Premiere 8 to edit and construct our opening two minutes aswell as using Adobe photoshop to help put together our screen grabs and complete presentation.

Memory Stick - Using memory sticks as a back up was a good idea incase of any computer errors we all had a copy of our progress, fortunately we didn't have any computing saving errors. This was also useful from travelling information from home to school.

Blogger - We used blogspot blogging to present our research, planning, evaluation and final media product.

Youtube - Finally one of the most useful websites, youtube - we found that it was very helpful when constructing our research and if we needed to see how other openings were presented in a paticular fashion. It was also used for research and easy viewable videos to then evaluate for our research and planning, helping us finalise our genre and target audience.
