How Did You Use Media
Technologies In The
Construction And
Research, Planning And
Evaluation Stages?
Blogger
One of the most successful aspects of my
Advanced Portfolio was my use of the
blogging website “Blogger”. I could use the
blog to detail the creative process that
went into my trailer and organise any
research that I had done into different films
and representations. Also, anything I had
created (e.g. mind maps, moodboards)
could be placed onto the blog. The blog
was simple to use and I found that dividing
the blog into separate pages made it
easier to display information. The blog was
broken down into 9 pages, each containing
different research and planning processes.
I found that making the blog more visually-
pleasing with pictures and videos made
information stand out more and research
would be presented in a more interesting
way and not just as a wall of text.
Power Director
To edit my trailer, I used the editing software “Power Director”. I
found Power Director to be to easy to use due to its ability to
easily trim and split clips. This allowed me to trim even the
slightest portion of video off and remove anything I didn’t want
to be included in the final product (e.g. camera shots
wobbling). I also found it easy to adjust the volume of music
and dialogue, allowing me to emphasise certain sounds I
wanted to be louder and more prominent. I used Power
Director in my Evaluation aswell, as it allowed me to place an
audio recording of my voice speaking over my own trailer and
remove the trailer’s sound so I could discuss certain aspects
of it. However I also found problems with the software.
Occasionally shots would be removed from the editing timeline
even though the clips had not been moved or renamed. Also, if
I wanted to go back and edit a section that was prior to where
I had currently edited up to, deleting something would shift the
entire timeline, unsyncing clips from audio.
How did you use media technologies
Photoshop
I used Photoshop to create my poster and magazine. I had
no experience with Photoshop beforehand so before
starting my magazine/poster, I read several tutorials
detailing the basics of Photoshop and then practiced
them on photos. When I felt I was happy with the level
my skills were at, I began to create and plan the final
products. Overall I was extremely happy with the final
result, considering this was my first time using
Photoshop.
Slideshare
Throughout my research on my blog I used the website
“Slideshare”. Slideshare is used to place PowerPoints in an
easy and organised manner and can then be easily viewed
in a window. I found this tool to be extremely useful, as it
made it more practical to place large PowerPoints on the
blog. It is more practical to place a single window that can
be navigated rather than dozens of pictures. For example,
my Graffiti PowerPoint had 41 slides and would take up too
much room.
Video Camera
To film my trailer, I used a handheld camera attached to a
tripod. I found the camera to be high-quality and enabled
me to get clear shots. The microphone was also excellent
and picked up our dialogue, however at times this proved
to be a problem, as it also picked up wind and could
muffle our voices. This was particularly a problem when I
filmed on top of a car park, meaning there was more wind
as I was higher up. During the actual filming, I came
across the problem that for some unknown reason,
occasionally instead of taking a video, it would take a
string of photos. This would happen at any time and
made me anxious about filming scenes, because if there
was a scene I was particularly happy with, I would not
know if had been filmed or not.
During the planning and research stages, I also
used YouTube to research film scenes that
could help me find the codes and conventions
of the genres and which could influence me. I
also emailed the director of a social
realism/zombie film called “Zombie Hood”. I
feel that contacting this director helped me
gain confidence in my own film and helped me
understand that I should make the film for my
audience and not for myself.
