1. what have you learnt abouttechnologies from the process of
constructing this product ?
2. I have learnt quite a lot of things during the creationand
editing of our movie. For instance I learnt no justto have basic
camera angles such as left or right angles,but to also have high
angled shots and low angledshots. This gives the viewer an effect
of looking up ordown on someone giving them power or even
showinghow worthless they are compared to another person.For our
films we decided to use different cameras aswell as angles to get
good shots for our scene. Also wewent beyond the normal rules of
angles by the cameraactually moving around Danny. Then in editing
whenwe sped up the clip it looked as if Danny had frozenand the
camera span around him giving differentangles.
3. Another thing that I learnt is how to use iMovie
effectively. To startoff with my group was using Adobe premium to
work our movie andedit but the files were taking far too long to
convert and therefore wedidnt get much work done as we were waiting
around for a while. Sowe used a MacBook and iMovie. I learnt
various skills such as how tomake good transitions effectively and
how to cut different sectionsand to split them up. We did use other
adobe type documents to helpcreate the perfect title that we wanted
and also to create blooddripping animations for the titles. The
other thing that we didthrough editing was to download music such
as tension buildingmusic and to add it at the specific time to give
a really good spinechilling effect to the audience. We had to drag,
cut and expand themusic to make sure it linked well with each part
of our film.
4. What I have learnt about blogger is that I can nowknow how
to upload pieces of work that I need andalso in many different ways
such as using scribd toupload some of my work so that it is easier
to view andalso doesnt take up a lot of space on my blog. I
havealso learnt that during my blog you can upload datasheets and
questionnaires which I created using surveymonkey. Also by viewing
other pieces of work that myclass mates have uploaded I am able to
give feedbackto help them improve on their work. One thing I
foundthat you can also do is by uploading pictures such
asstoryboards and location scouting; this helped me andmy team by
actually viewing the image instead ofdescribing it.
5. Another helpful thing I learnt through my productionstages
is that I could view other classes films onYouTube and give
feedback of what I thought wentwell and what I thought didnt go
well. This was reallyhelpful to view because then it gave me an
idea ofwhat sort of film get #s the most views whether it wasa
slasher or a thriller. It helped also to see what somepeople did
differently to others so that I could comparewhat worked well and
what didnt. Other things thathelped through using YouTube were the
fact that Icould look at tutorials on how to use some
goodtransitions and how to add effects to our movie. Thishelped a
lot because then we could ether imitate whatthe tutorial does or
tweak it around a bit so that we stillhave a great clip.
6. One really big help that we had was on the websiteimdb. This
was because when I was researching whatfilms sold best and what
type of audience would viewthe film then imdb help out a lot, this
was because it isa website dedicated to having information on
TVshows/ films/ documentaries and also actors anddirectors etc. So
this was very useful to find the rightinformation that I needed to
help create my film.
