- 2. Hardware Camera In the filmingof our opening film we used a simple camera to film. We used the camera to film as it is the easiest form of getting footage and could be put onto the iMac quickly and easily. We did also use the camera to film our preliminary task video as well. We used many different angles when filming that we have been taught about in the lesson, and learned how to film those angles to have a good effect. iMac We used the iMac’s for the editing of our opening. We got the footage from the camera and put them on the iMac easily and then used different tools and effects to edit our opening together. I have learnt many skills when editing with an iMac such as adding an effect to the opening, adding different sounds and titles to the opening also to make it look more professional. USB Cable We used the USB at certain times to put clips from our opening onto an iMac, this was good as it was an easy way for both members of our group to have a copy of the opening.
- 3. Software iMovie We used iMoviewhen editing our opening film. It was good and simple as we could add many effects to our opening to improve the look of it, it also had many titles and different fonts. We added an eerie effect to the opening using iMovie, and used many sound effects in the opening which have improved the look of our opening and made it look more professional. Photoshop We used this when making our logo. Our logo is the words “META Productions” that are flying on a star, we used Photoshop to make this logo which was quick and simple. I learnt a lot when using Photoshop such as the different fonts, the effects you can use, and the different paintbrush tools that can be used to give a good effect. PowerPoint I used PowerPoint when doing my blog. Some of the posts had to include a lot of information so I thought that PowerPoint was the most effective and useful thing to use when writing a lot. I had used PowerPoint before so it was easy for me, and it was quick to use as I knew how things worked. It also added a knew style to my blog.
- 4. Online Tools Blogger This hasbeen the main online tool we have used. We did our media work by uploading all of our different tasks onto a blog using Blogger. I have learnt a lot about using blogger such as making it look professional, making sure the spelling is correct and arranging the posts in the correct order. Mindmeister I used Mindmeister to create a spider diagram in order to explain the plot, costume, filming, editing etc. for our opening. It was easy to use and put onto my blog, and I have learnt a lot about using different ways to explain something or do one of the tasks, in this case Mindmeister. Slideshare We used Slideshare in order to put the PowerPoint's we’d made onto the blog. Once we had made the PowerPoint, Slideshare was easy to use and upload our PowerPoint's onto the blog. Without Slideshare I wouldn’t have been able to upload my PowerPoint’s onto the blog so Slideshare helped with my blog as it added a different style to my blog, so the posts weren’t all writing. Prezi I used Prezi on my blog, it was simple to use and added a stylish effect to my blog. I learned a lot from using Prezi that I didn’t know before. At first I was sceptical of using Prezi as I thought it would be difficult, but after using it I learned that it was easy to use and like Slideshare, this website added a different style to my blog. Art of the Title I used Art of the Title to watch openings to films to give me some ideas. It was simple and efficient to do this and was quick. I also used this website to get nine frames for one of our posts, which was again simple and quick. Google Google was the main search engine we used to find information, use websites, and get images for any posts for our blog. I had used Google before so knew how it works, this made using it simple and quick for me as I was able to use it for all of my posts. When I didn’t know the answer to a question, or I didn’t know what a certain word meant, I used Google to find the information which made things much easier.
