Evaluation 6

1. EVALUATION 6
I have learnt a lot about using technologies from the
process of constructing this product.
Before this product I was not comfortable with filming as
I didn’t have the confidence and was unsure of what I
was doing. As our film developed I became more
comfortable using the filming equipment and was
comfortable when asked to film.
Not only did I gain confidence but I learnt about the
components of the camera and the extension parts that
enabled us to use the camera in different ways, such as
the tripod. I then learnt to upload the images onto the
computer and format them in the correct file if needed. I
know feel fully comfortable using a camera and knowing
that there are other extension parts that I could use to
improve my filming and keep the camera steady.

2. BLOG
Since starting my project, I have had to upload all of my work
to a blog. I have learnt thoroughly how to use my blog,
learning to re-blog and upload in many ways. As I’ve used
different programs such as Photoshop, PowerPoint and
Adobe Premiere CS6 and I’ve had to upload them all in
different ways. Blogs are extremely useful as your work is
always accessible on any computer as it’s on the internet.

3. Adobe Premiere CS6
Adobe Premiere is an advanced editing program which I
had never used before this production. I had no clue how
to use the program but I decided to look up tutorials on
YouTube and learn from them. I looked up many tutorials
on various forms of editing. My group all learnt to do
different things so that we could combine our newly
developed skills to create a stronger final product. I learnt
to sync music, cut clips, important files, render and many
more things. I can now comfortably make a video from
the skills that I have developed over the time taken to
make the film opening.

4. Photoshop
Although I had used Photoshop before making my
film opening, I had not used it very much and was
not fully aware of all its uses. Photoshop is very
useful for many things. We made our opening idents
on this program and used it for many different
picture comparisons. In Photoshop it is very easy to
compare photos which I found useful throughout my
evaluations and helped me to structure my
evaluations properly.

5. Prezi
I used Prezi for the first time in my evaluation 2 as I
wanted to use different media platforms to present
my evaluations. Prezi was somewhat difficult for me
at first as It is structured differently to other programs
such as PowerPoint although you get a similar end
product. I was taught by a how friend how to use this
program and from her help, I developed her advice
and learnt to do slightly more advanced things. Now I
can use Prezi as it is more suitable to certain
presentations and has a nicer appearance than other
programs such as Powerpoint.
