1. Evaluation question:6
What have you learnt
about technology
from the process of
constructing the
product?

2. Prezi
I used Prezi to do one of my presentation alongside PowerPoint and
Microsoft word. I used Prezi because I feel like its better than using
PowerPoint and Microsoft word because it’s a virtual presentation
creator. I feel like using Prezi means that I get to do more interaction
and this because I can also add pictures to make my work look more
presentable. Prezi is good to use especially when it comes to doing
presentation works. The only negative thing about this is that it
needs very strong internet connections.

3. Survey monkey
I used survey monkey to carry out my audience
research. This was a very it was a very beneficial
website to use, there was lots of options. Survey
monkey is easy to use when it comes to doing
questionnaires as its lets you put a lot more information
that you need.

4. QuickTime Player
QuickTime is an extendable multimedia framework
develop by Apple, its cable of handling various format of
digital videos, pictures, sound and interactivity. I used this
to watch my videos after filming and editing. This was
because it was a shortcut to watch my videos.

5. Blogger
Blogger was the most essential part of my whole coursework. This was
because throughout my coursework I uploaded all my work I do on
blogger. Its really easy to use and a good way of presenting your work.
The reason why I also like blogger its because you can write on it and
also you can take pictures of your work and also you can upload videos
on it. There’s no chance of losing your work on blogger because it saves
automatically and you don’t have to worry about messy handwritings.
The disadvantage about blogger is that is not good if you want to do
something a little more complex.

6. YouTube
I used YouTube to upload my videos in order for me to
be able to upload it on Blogger. YouTube is more
complex to upload and to download songs. I also used
this to get the link of the soundtrack I wanted to use
for my editing and then convert it on YouTube
converter.

7. Microsoft word and PowerPoint
I used Microsoft word to write my ideas of what I wanted my
film to look like. I also used Microsoft word to do my
characters profile. I then uses PowerPoint to create several
presentation which was neat and have lots of pictures. I used
the tools because they were easy to use and also there’s also
animation that you can use to present your work. Its not the
best thing to create something out of the ordinary because
there are limited things to use.

8. Slide Share
I used slide share to upload my PowerPoint slides in order for me to
upload it onto blogger. But before doing this slide share was a good
source if information when I was researching. It also doesn't’t take a
long time to upload like it would with blogger. This is an advantage
because other people would search for work like that and find your
work.

9. Canon Camera
When it was time to film, I asked my friend to use his camera and this
is because my filming took place outside my college and I couldn't’t
take the camera away from school. I decide to use this camera
because it has better video quality. Also this camera is an advantage
and this is because its gives the options to change the brightness and
the contrast of the video. At some point I did have difficulties with
trying to focus the camera. But other than that this camera was very
easy to use.

10. Final Cut Pro X
When it came to editing, I decide to use final cut pro x and this is
because it’s a software that’s got all the essential stuff that I needed
to edit my film. Final cut pro have an advance colour correcting that I
used to edit the first part of my opening to make it look more darker
the way I wanted it to be. Final cut pro was easy to use and this is
because I have used his programmed before for editing so it became
more easy for me to use. However, when it comes to the disadvantage
I couldn’t get the title of my film the way I wanted it to look on final
cut pro so I had to use ‘After effect’ to do this.

11. MacBook Pro
When it came to editing, research and doing blog work I used
MacBook Pro. This is because I just wanted to use one laptop to do
all my work. Also I was able to take it around with me to do my
editing.

12. Throughout this whole process of filming and editing I have
learnt so much for e.g. I learnt how to screenshot on a mac, I
also learnt how to use the editing tools when I was using
after effects. I also learnt about the use of cameras and how
to focus it on what I want to film.
