EVALUATION ACTIVITY 6

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

• Blogger – to document our film making process and evaluate different films.
• Youtube – to upload our various videos onto (including preliminary task, animated storyboard and filming diaries)
• Sound effects websites (e.g. freesound.org) – to gather sound effects that we would use in our production company and throughout our editing process.
• Camera – to film our scenes ready for editing together.
• Tripod – to make our camera steady when filming panning, tracking and establishing shots mainly.
• Adobe premier pro – used for editing our footage, sound and adding some credits.
• Adobe after effects – used for creating our production company titles and also animating title sequence.
• PC school computers – used throughout our entire AS to edit, document and save footage etc.
• Mobile phone device - to document our filming adventure

We have learnt a lot about the power of technology from filming our opening. It allows you to recognise the lengths that people go to just to get a sound effect in time with a visual, and how hard it is to capture the essential requirements of a narrative. It has helped us to respect films and the production that has gone into them and also learn the power that we have when it comes to technology.
