What Have You Learnt About Technologies From The Process Of Constructing This Product?

Throughout this piece of work i have learnt many new technologies which are very important in order to make our film effective. For example:

Blogger is an important new technology which helps us display our media product. For example Blogger is a blog which helps present any previous work and upcoming preparation towards the start of our project, research, planning and finally the evaluation. Blogger is an important part if our media as can show to people the effort and work which we have put in to make our film. Other technologies which are involved with Blogger can include uploading clips from the apple macs and cameras. This is an important element which I have learnt as it allows me to put short clips onto my blog from my film, take screenshots, annotate my own work, and make my blogger graphic and visual. In addition, being able to upload clips to blogs has helped me produce contact sheets. These consist of 9 key images which you have chosen to write about, and shots which you think are effective within the opening sequence.

The Apple Macs are very effective and include many key resources such as iMovie which help us make and produce our film. For example, we had uploaded our film to iMovie where we used a range of features such video effects, which enables us to use a variety of effects and make our film present an eerie atmosphere to our film.

Additionally on the Apple Macs an important feature is LiveType. LiveType is very useful as it allows us to import titles onto our film such as the director’s name, actors and the name of the film. We had combined this technology with a website called' DaFont' which has a vast range of font styles to choose from. On this website we chose a suitable font for our thriller titles, and we were then able to transfer this font to LiveType and effectivelly use this font.

Furthermore, as i was the least filmed character in our opening sequence i was able to take more controll of the tri-pod and camera. Being able to use this was very good as i was able to develop my camera working skills and express what i have learnt in previous years. For example, i was able to apply my other experience of the camera to my film which made it very effective. For instance,i used a variety of shot angles and shot types which helped create tension and an eerie atmosphere which we wanted to achieve. A specific example, is when the killer stands in the centre of the screen. I altered the camera making her in the direct centre of screen which puts all the attention on her. This can also be seen as an establishing shot as you are able to see the background and where this crime has been set.
