What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of constructing this product?
During filming, we used Nikon cameras which I am quite familiar with as I did use these in GCSE however, there are many more tips which I learnt off my peers for example, adding certain effects and changing the focus on the camera. With this camera, we also used a tripod in order to keep our shots steady.
The computers and laptops which we used were both Apple Mac and we used these to go on to the following softwares and websites. I have used both of these before therefore I was familiar with everything on there.
Blogger is the website which I used most as I regularly updated my blog by adding posts. Blogger allows me to post pictures, videos and links alongside anything else I would like to write. I have used Blogger before therefore found this very easy to continue using.
During our media project, we used Adobe Premiere Pro in order to put all of our clips together. Both our preliminary task and our opening sequence were used with this software. This allowed us to shorten, expand, edit and cut our clips. This software also allows you to add effects onto your clips and take out any sound which you would not like to include in your video and then add any extra sounds you would like. Although this was my first time using Premiere Pro, I managed to work it out quite quickly as there is a very helpful guide which teaches you step by step anything you may have a problem with. Here are a few screenshots showing what you can do on Premiere Pro:
Adobe Photoshop is another software which allows you to edit, cut and crop however this is only for pictures. We used this throughout our project to produce any pictures we needed to create like our nine frame analysis. Photoshop also allows you to edit font which we did try however we decided that a simple font would look much better. I have used Photoshop before but did find out many more things which I did not know before.
I had not used Prezi before but found this very straightforward as there are easy guidelines to follow. It allows you to learn step by step as you are making your first Prezi. Prezi is used to make presentations which flow from one point to another which I found very helpful whilst showing certain presentations I had made to my peers. You can choose different fonts in different colours and also add any pictures, videos and links which you would like to include.
Youtube played a huge part in our project as we were constantly using this. I use Youtube very often therefore it was easy for me to use however, even if it was my first time, I would still find it easy as it is very straightforward. Youtube was particularly helpful during our research stage as we were able to find other opening sequences very easily. We also shared our opening sequence on Youtube in order to gain feedback and let viewers see what we had created.
