Transcript of Technologys For OTS
- 1. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product? Ruby Millard
- 2. Communication During the filming and other projects during
media studies I have used twitter to contact people to arrange
things, ask questions and discuss things that we needed to do. I
have used email for being in contact with who Im working with and
sending files to myself and who I am working with. Me and my group
text each other for arranging things and used imessage. My group
also used phones to arrange filming and to speak about post
production.
- 3. Research I think that I used the search engine Goole most
through our whole project. It links mostly into our initial
research tasks. I also used Youtube a lot to watch examples of film
noir and OTS. I used Vimeo to watch other students OTS for
inspiration and to get an idea of what my group needed to create. I
also used it to upload our OTS and continuity task. Whilst looking
at props and costumes we used pintrest to gather an idea of what we
wanted our OTS to look like.
- 4. Record of production For the whole project I have recorded
my work in blog form on the website blogger. I hadnt really blogged
before so it has been a learning experience. We recorded the
progress of our film by uploading cuts to Vimeo. I have used wix to
answer and present the questions for my final evaluation. I used
Prezi to present my answers to questions. Through my project I
created different slideshows on different subjects. I used Slide
share to up load them to the internet which allowed me to put them
onto my blog and evaluation.
- 5. Software We started off editing our video on imovie but felt
during the process that it was not refined enough and that a new
software may allow us to do more. We then moved onto final cut as
it gave us a lot more freedom to what we wanted to do and we found
it simpler to use. I used Photoshop to crop pictures. The largest
part that I used for it was the creation of the Black Country title
edit with inverting. I used software on my laptop to record the
records that I got for the OTS.
- 6. Software My partner created animations for our idents with
an app called stop motion. It was simple and was really effective
for what we wanted to achieve. For our Cog Winder animation we
recorded the sound of the cogs with the Voice memo app on an
iphone. We used this as it was easily compatible with the Apple
computer which were using. I used windows Power Point most to
create slideshows to upload to my blog.
- 7. Equipment My partner filmed some of the OTS with her camera
but I used mine which is an Olympus epl 1. Its better for
photography but it gave us some really clear shots. We used a
tripod to steady our shots and make sure that our framing was
inline with the ground. We used a Apple computer for the editing
and construction of our videos. We used windows software for all of
the written work including office.
