Media evaluation question 6

1. What have you learnt
about technologies from
the process of
constructing this
product?
What technologies
did I use?
• Edublogs
• YouTube
• Sound cloud
• Adobe Premiere
Elements
• Slideshare
• Prezi
• Free sound
• Google
By having a blog, it was an
effective way of keeping track of
everything that we did along of
planning, production and post
production process. It also
allowed me to experiment with
different websites to produce a
blog that was interesting and not
just all writing.
When conducting my product I used a
media application called Prezi, in order
to make my work more creative. I
learnt that is it an active way to present
information as the screen moves from
bubble to bubble. I also learnt that you
can insert clips and pictures, to add a
visual element.
I’ve used PowerPoint a lot in the
past. However, I learnt that you
can make a PowerPoint, then
upload it to Slideshare, which
then uploads to your blog. I did
this a few times as I was familiar
with PowerPoint. Therefore, I
could produce presentations
quickly and ensure that I was
keeping good time management.
I used YouTube to look at existing movie
openings and to look at what makes an
effective chick flick. This was also useful to
see how film productions have added
credits and their film title in.
We used Sound cloud to get the music that
we used for our soundtrack; ‘While I’m alive’
by STRFKR. We chose to use soundtrack
as all the music on there are covers and
therefore, downloadable without causing
piracy.
We used Adobe Premiere Elements to edit our opening movie
sequence. We chose this media software as we had previously
used it to edit our chase scenes and Prelims. However, we used
more advanced features and experimented with different elements
such as adding in a split screen, which was our biggest challenge. I
now feel confident with the software and hope to use it again in
future media products.
We used Free Sound to
get our sound effects such
as birds chirping, an alarm
and a girl screaming.
We used google to find out
anything that we were unsure
of such as how to subtly fade in
credits and how to fade out
clips.
