Evaluation 6;

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

The technologies that we used to help us with our opening scene were:

• Digital Camera
• Computer
• Two Handheld Camera's

During our media project I think that I have learnt more about editing and how to create the best effects in films, for example what transition effects would work best and how we could create the best lighting and colour.

Here is a screenshot of a programme we used throughout our media product. The programme was called Premere Elements 7. We had a few problems with this programme from having to search for things as they were not clearly shown. Another was when we tried to add the titles, as explained in our editing post. Also we found then when we were editing the brightness, ligting, contrast and saturation, that our options were very limiting and that we couldn't make the shot lighter without the clip getting blurrier or pixalated.

When filming we used a Sanyo Xacti. We decided that we weren't going to use the tripod that was available because we wanted a jerky effect to make appear that the person behind the camera is nervous and unsure. However we found that when we viewed the clip on the camera we could see it a lot better, than when we put it on the computer, therefore a lot of editing would be needed.

Also we used:

Paint: to edit pictures and create our initial storyboard

Microsoft Word: to plan out our work

Youtube: to evaluate and to be able to add the video to our blog

VLC player: to play the film and play the music

Also we had to use our email regularly to send each new ideas and group work. Also we used email to contact Mat who was creating our music for us.
