Technologies I have used throughout the process

QUESTION 6: WHAT
HAVE YOU LEARNT
ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES
FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS
PRODUCT?

2. Blogging
 During my research and
planning stage of production I
used Blogger as the basis for
all my blogging tasks. On
Blogger I have use a variety
of different digital technology
in order to complete our
required tasks, this has
exposed me to a world of
technology that is completely
new to me and in doing so
has expanded my experience
on the internet.
PRE-PRODUCTION – RESEARCH AND
PLANNING
 I so learned how to
use Apple Motion,
Final Cut Pro and an
JVC Pro Camera
which proved to be
very useful during
the process of
making our opening.

3. Technologies I
have used
When I have used them
Vimeo Embed video to put on blog post on Blogger, also to put movie opening on the internet.
YouTube Used to put trailers of movies on blog posts to improve analysis e.g. “Analysis of 3 films
with different audiences”, “Storylines and Plots in Teen Films (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off)
Camtasia We researched the types of films and characters members of the public enjoyed, to do so
we interviewed people of various age ranges in order to get a wide perspective. We
created a video on Camtasia to compile all the information we collected into one place.
Gifs
(Memecenter,
Google, Tumblr)
Throughout the blog I have used Gifs in order to add movement to my blog posts and so
make it more interesting. I found interesting Gifs from Google and Tumblr, I also found
that I can create Gifs at Memecenter on the internet if the Gif I wanted was too specific.
Such as on my review of Boyz in the hood
Prezi I used this as a way of making my presentations more interesting. Examples way I have
used this; The writ up for Bling Ring.
Time toast At the very start of filming we researched the order of titles in a movie, we used time toast
as a timeline to organize the titles and put them in order.
Go Animate During research of Order of titles I decided to do an individual blog post in order to liven up
the topic, I used Go Animate to create an animation with a story in order to tell the Order
of Titles
Sound Cloud Used to find music for our film and where we found the song “All Falls Down REMIX” as the
background music for our whole movie.
Voki In my blog post on our Distribution Ident I used Voki as a voice over to describe how I
created it on Final Cut Pro and Motion.

4. PRODUCTION - FILMING
During the filming
of our opening
technologies were
not as important as
the planning, mise
en scene etc.
However we used a
JVC Pro Camera to
film in order to
make our final
product look more
professional.

5. Final Cut Pro was
used to produce our
film opening and was
also used to create
our Distribution and
Production Ident.
Apple Motion played a
part in creating both
our Distribution and
Production Ident also.
POST- PRODUCTION - EDITING
