Evaluation Question 6
‘What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product?’
In the making of our film we used a variety of different
technologies whether it is hardware or software we used them to their fullest
in editing or just filming. In our genre we mainly focused on the editing side
of our film because in order to keep the fast paced action we needed to spend
more time on the editing so it felt right as we were watching.
To research around the chosen genre we use Google to get
basic information about how other action films do in the box office and also
which distribute the same types of films we’re making this helped with picking
our one.
For the research into other films in our genre we used
YouTube mainly to find trailers of clips of films and other AS film openings that
have inspired our film and the design decisions we made. This helped because we
were able to see what a good trailer looks like and we took tips on how to
craft ours to use some of these features in ours. But also looking at the bad
ones we can’t see why theirs didn’t do so well and hopeful make the same mistake
To document all the work we have done we used an online
program called Blogger that allowed us to write out the work we have done. The
types of things we have put onto blogger are the different ideas we have had
and the interviews we did on our target audience and Editing and filming
updates as we did them. I had very little issues with blogger and found it very
useful when I have needed to change or update different documents
In combination with blogger we used Prezi a presentation creator
but much more unique than just the standard Microsoft Power point. This program
enabled us to create nice looking presentation when we were doing pieces of
work such as. The different conventions seen in the action films we have
watched. But with this program I did have some issues connecting and sometimes
my work not save and I would how to redo some large parts of my work.
We also used slide share this was used to change standard
text documents to nice looking and easier to embed into blogger. We used this on different things mainly to do
with the preparation of our film opening like the shot lists
these are all pretty brief and vague. not sure 2-4 hours have gone into each. several do not really ever get around to answering the question and clearly not all of the help sheet has been read. stick q7 up and if you get the chance, give everything a good look over. i'd recommend it.
