Evaluation Q6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?



1. Camera: the first stage of our production was to film the footage that we had planned. This was used during the very beginning stages of our film opening. However, we were not happy with the results of our footage as the quality wasn't as sharp as we hoped it to be. Nevertheless, we learned how to put into ptactice all the different camera angles and shots.

2. HD Camera: this was used for the split screen scene of the our opening. We used this so that the appearance of the characters remained clear to audiences. Though we were uable to use HD cameras as the numbers where limited, we were able to recognise and distinguish the difference between the HD camera's and regular cameras. For instance, the microphone on the HD cameras are to produce high quality sounds whereas regular cameras do not have this there for making the sound quality very unprofessional.

3. Tripod: although not used as much as the other technical eqiupments, the tripod was beneficial to us as it helped us to keep control of the camera so that the footage wouldn't shake.

4. Cubase: this programme is used to produce music. This programme was very beneficial as it was easily accessible in the school, therefore enabling me to produce the soundtrack. Through this programme I learned how to experiment with different sounds that would make the track sound interesting and suitable for the style of our opening.

5. Voice recorder: this was used to do our voice overs. With this we were able to learn how to adjust the sounds so that our voice overs were not lound neither too quite to be heard.

6. Adobe After Effects: this was the programme used to produce our logo aswell as the opening titles. This programme was used as it is very professional and help make our opening more appealing. This programme taught us how to us many effects, photoshop and manipluate different animations.

7. Adobe Premier Pro: perhaps the most important of all, Premier Pro was very beneficial in the process of editing our footage as it enabled us to make precise cuts, incoperate additional effects and also fitting in the soundtrack, logo and titles. This programme was used as it made our opening appear very professional.

8. Computer: to put everything together, the computer was used exrememly important eitherwise making our opening sequence would not have happened!
