WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES

FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING

THIS PRODUCT?

iMovie allowed me to produce my fi lm in 1080P HD resolution for a more professional finish which made the footage more crisp and clear.

iMovie has a very simple layout that is easy to understand and access, with available enhancements such as colour corrections to manipulate the contrast, saturation or transparency.

The software allowed me to layer the footage on top of each other and also the audio with no complication, which again, added to a more professional touch.

IMOVIE BENEFITS

Since the early 1900’s fi lm has come a long way in terms of the development of all aspects of production, distribution and exhibition.

The adapted and enhanced areas consist of the quality of images (for example 1080P HD), clearer sound and better sound eff ects, portability (iPhone) and technical abil ity in the editing category.

In 1903 Edwin S. Porter was the fi rst director/producer to introduce the idea of cross cutting from previously only having one single and continuous reel, and fi lmed on a large and stationary camera. Since then we have developed and invented drones to fi lm hands free at a birds eye view, green screens to superimpose images that are not present in the natural world, and steady cams, which are not only portable but they stabilize the shakiness of the footage when moving, even when it is hand held.

THE EVOLUTION OF FILM TECHNOLOGY

The history of the Internet begins with the development of electronic computers in the 1950s.However In the 1980s, the work of Tim Berners-Lee from the United Kingdom, on the World Wide Web theorized the fact that protocols l ink hypertext documents into a working system, marking the beginning of the modern internet. Since the mid 1990’s, the internet has had a revolutionary impact on culture and commerce, including the rise of near-instant communication by electronic mail , instant messaging, voiceover Internet Protocol (VOIP) Telephone calls, two-way interactive video calls and the World Wide Web with its discussion on forums, blogs, social networking and online shopping sites.

This al lows an ease of production and distribution over the World Wide Web that could go viral within a matter or minutes. This is because of Sharing and streaming of content.

Unfortunately, even though Cinemas have that unique fi lm experience with the surround sound soft seating, popcorn and a large audience accompanying you, it is not preventing people (young adults and teenagers especial ly) from viewing content on websites such as Netfl ix for a lower cost without having to get dressed or leave the house.

THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET AND ITS EFFECTS

I have learnt just how useful new technologies are for piecing together footage to create fi lm. It allows you to perform multiple happenings at the same time by cutting up footage and running them parallel with each other. It also allows you to make a piece more dynamically interesting by incorporating the use of CGI animation and Sound whether it be diegetic or not.

I fell like it Is achievable to use aff ordable high street software to create a professional opening sequence just like we did by using a combination of school cameras, iPhone cameras (with tripods) and iMovie on my MacBook(under teachers supervision).
