Research and Planning Technology How was it used

Prezi We used Prezi because it is an easy , affective and

interactive way of expressing ideas and planning our work. It was easy to use as it was

set out in a simple way. This made plotting answers and

ideas easy.

Apple Macs We used the macs as our main technology to plan out and research information for our OTS. On the Macs we used

many different online sites like Prezi to create power points as

well as research information and other films on google and

on the internet.

ConstructionTechnology How was it used

Tripod We used the tripod in our OTS to achieve a steadier, more focused and less shakey camera during filming. The tripod was crucial to filming as it allowed us to get smooth and good quality shots as well as get a variety of different shots from different angles.

Garageband We used garageband to create music for our opening title sequence. Garageband was crucial as it allowed us to make our own music that we liked and wanted. It also made the OTS better as the music added tension and drama to the OTS. It was simple and easy to use.

Evaluation Technology How was it used?

Powtoon We used Powtoon for question 3, which was What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? Powtoon was an easy, interesting and affective way of laying out our answers to the question. We used it because Powtoon is very different and interesting compared to other slide sites because it is colourful and has many different animations which would allow us to show different computer skills and techniques.

Research and planning

Technology How it was used

DafontWe used Dafont because it is an amazing

website that has thousands of different fonts that we could use for our OTS, especially to match the style that we were aiming for.

Youtube

We used youtube for our research and planning because it is a great site for

researching different things that we need, for example we used it to compare our OTS to films with similar opening title sequences

and see what aspects of them we need to keep.

ConstructionTechnology How it was used

Camera

The camera was a rather important technology to use in our film, this is because we filmed all of our footage on it and without it the quality wouldn’t have been as good as

it is now. The camera that we used was a DSLR 1150D Canon with a class 10 32g SD

card.

IPhones

We used iphones during the construction of our OTS for communication and also to add to our research and planning. We used them

to see what time we should meet at our location and what items we would need to

bring, e.g different props. Also we took pictures of the construction to add to our

research and planning.

Evaluation

Technology How it was used

Emaze

We used this website to do question 2 of our evaluation. This question was about

representation of different social groups. We decided to use this website because it was different to the normal presentation apps such as keynote and powerpoint, it

would also show the range of different ICT that we used.

Research and Planning Slide share – is a website which we used to upload keynote and PowerPoint presentations on to be able to embed them on to our blog.

Final cut pro – is a editing software exclusive to apple products. It allowed us to edit and put together our planning which was the horror shots video and the preliminary.

Construction DaFont – is a website that has thousands of free fonts to chose from. We used this to pick our font for all of our credits used in each draft.

Sony vegas – We used Sony vegas pro 11 to edit of drafts. We used this because we had previous experience with it and we found it easier to use. Sony Vegas was more accessible for us as we all have windows computers where Sony Vegas can be bought from.

Evaluation Slides.com – Slides is a online business presentation software. We used it to complete our evaluation work. It had many different features that we could change but we kept it relatively simple to create a professional lookHowever there was a time delay completing work on here because of the difficultity to find certain settings but overall saved us time compared to Keynote or Powerpoin because we would have had to keep sending it to one another to keep it up to date.
