The document discusses the various media technologies used throughout the filmmaking process. Source Filmmaker was used to create 3D animations, while motion capture software and Kinect cameras captured character movements to make them realistic. Premiere Pro cut and organized all animations into the narrative. YouTube and websites like Short of the Week were researched for inspiration. Blogger, surveys, and Celtx helped in planning by keeping track of timelines, gathering feedback, and creating scripts. Applications like After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Keynote presented evaluations creatively with attractive designs and effects.

Blogger was really helpful to me as I
was able to store and plan all of my
information in one convenient easy to
use location
Blogger is a great tool
used to keep track of a

12. Survey
Monkey
On of the other vital media technologies
that I utilised in my planning stage was
a website called survey monkeys where
I made a survey on animated films to
formulate a plan of how I was going to
make a good film

free tool that one can
use to create their own
surveys to gain
audience feedback

13. Celtx
Towards the beginning of my planning
process I created a script for my first
idea “Father Time” which really helped

one can create a
professional script for
their film.

process I tried out multiple
different programs to see If I
liked the way my information was
presented
This led me to use programs
