Q6

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

When doing this task for Media we have learnt a lot of new skills and expand upon ones that we have already had. We have developed our knowledge with the filming and editing and the production of our film in general.

We used programs such as; tube chops, Prezies, Anamatics, Sliderockets and screencasts to help us improve the quality of our work and make our research more super visual. By using the animatic we were able to see what our opening sequence could potentially look like and if there was something we thought defiantly needed changing we could change it. When filming this we used two types of camera which was digital and still and used a tripod to steady out shots. On the editing side of things we used programs such as livetype to creating near professional titles and used programs such as final cut to make our opening sequence look better than just using Imovie.

Whilst doing the project I never really had any past experience with livetype so when using it became a bit frustrating as I didn’t really know what I was doing. Once the film was exported Livetype was used to create the titles and you could place them where you wanted them to appear on your film and how long for.

For me finalcut was the most difficult to use because at times the rendering didn’t work as other parts of the film were still in use which made it hard for me to see what was playing and what wasn’t. I found it hard to add effects to the opening seuqnece because once you found what didn’t worked you often found it looked better than you thought it did.
