Evaluation question #4
- 1. How did youuse media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
- 2. Introduction Throughout my mediacourse this year I have used different types of technology for my coursework. It is also common for film industries to use technologies from editing their films, filming them, and advertising. In this PowerPoint I will be talking to about the strengths and weaknesses and how I have used the different technologies throughout my A2 media course.
- 3. Research in Technology I,as well as other film industries round the world under took research before undertaking my joint trailer. You can undertake research in many ways, lots involving technology. Such as setting up an online survey asking peers what their views on the plans for the trailer would be. I can use social media sites such as Twitter or Facebook for this.
- 4. Editing programmes I useddifferent programmes on the Apple Mac to help me edit my products so that it can become the best piece possible. For my ancillary products I started off using Photoshop to edit a still picture which I got from my film trailer. I was then able to upload it to Adobe Design CS3, where I was then able to create the pictures into my ancillary products, my poster and magazine front cover. Here I was able to add effects such as typography, where I added fonts which were conventional to my thriller theme. For my film trailer first we used Panasonic video cameras which was accompanied by a tripod to steady the camera. After filming my footage I uploaded the work to Final Cut Express where I was able to then edit the film trailer on it. Final Cut Express is a program which is design to enable users to edit film footage with such as effects which can make the cuts from each clip better and more advanced. I used the fade edit most commonly as it fulfilled my thriller criteria and from my research that I carried out highlighted it is used often through out different trailers. My ident which was created on Livetype which is a software program developed by Apple to create animated title sequences for video projects.
- 5. Social Networks Using socialnetworking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, like I’ve said in the research slide, social networking sites can give good research. On Facebook you have the opportunity to set up polls that people can give their opinion on. Also it can get people to comment on any products that I upload giving me an thoughts upon my media work. However disadvantages of using social networking sites would be that most of the people that come across my work will be my peers and friends so their opinions may be biased just to please me.
- 6. Soundtrack For my filmtrailer product I needed to incorporate a soundtrack with the trailer. I managed to create it on the Logic Pro which is a digital audio workstation and MIDI sequencer software. Negatives of Logic Pro is that unlike Soundtrack Pro you can’t see your footage while adding the soundtrack and therefore being able to work around it. The software allows me to make a sound track with different instruments. I also had the access to other software's that I could use for my soundtrack alike Garageband and Soundtrack Pro.
- 7. Presentational softwares Throughout mymedia project this year I have used different presentational softwares, especially in my evaluation questions section of my blog. I used programs such as Prezi which an online presentation site where you can personalise your presentation. It is free flowing and very attractive which is a strength. Other programmes such as Microsoft PowerPoint are beneficial as like Prezi you can get the information you want in an attractive way from slide to slide.
