Production

Technology used? Where? Why? Successful/Unsuccessful? HD Camera I used this in various locations to

film my opening sequence, such as, the park and my house.

I could put recorded work onto my blog for assessment.

It was relatively easy to carry and use. The functions of the camera were simple. However, this would often mean it took a long time to transfer the files onto the mac computers.

There is a record of the issues and experiences I faced during

the production stage.

software.

Technology used? Where? Why? Successful/Unsuccessful? I-Phone I used it to record my

audience research which was the vox-pop.

It had easy access to it. It was portable and light. It recorded the sound and video clips we needed.

It saved me time booking out a HD camera. This was made it a quick

method. However, when we uploaded it into a movie file it was incompatible with computers that were not macs.

Therefore I had to use a file converter to change it into an AVI format. This was

time-consuming.

Digital Camera I used it to take photographs for my recci

task. I took these pictures in possible

locations I could shoot my film at.

It was easy to use in terms of using the

functions such as, taking photos.

The advantage was that it was portable which meant that it was easy to carry.

Isuuu (online uploading software) I used this on the computer. It’s an online

software program.

slides onto my blog.

have to keep re-uploading it if I had to make changes to my PowerPoint

presentations. YouTube

networking website.

sequences by film four. This allowed me to analyse technical

aspects and generic conventions they use. In addition, it allowed me

to focus on what type of themes or issue I could

explore.

unavailable to watch.

whole project.

Post-production

Evaluation

By using technology I have learnt that it has vital purposes upon my production

stages. The blog in particular meant that I could present my work neatly and it

allowed me to be very creative. There were a few unsuccessful elements of

using these elements such as, time issues however; I have successful been able

to use this to finish my work. Therefore, I believe that this served a good

purpose.

Final Cut Edit Pro (editing software).

On the apple mac computers. I used this program to edit our opening sequence.

It was good because it had lots of function on the program,

making it very advanced. However, this made it harder to use when I first used it because

there were more functions. Adobe Photoshop On the apple mac computers. I used this program to edit the
