Transcript of Question 6
- 1. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing the product?
Elisha Swanson & Alicia Darby
2. Strengths and weaknesses of the camera equipment
Weaknesses
Some of the weaknesses that we found with the camera equipment were
that although the camera has a light on to see in the dark, the
light doesnt light up far enough ahead whilst outside, and it isnt
a clear enough picture when its as dark as we need it, although at
some points this was fine and gave a better effect than we
intended.
Strengths
We found that some of the strengths of the camera equipment were
that our camera was small and compact which made it easier to move
around and easier to film in smaller areas. It also had a light on
it which made it easier to film in dark places whilst still keeping
it dark and also it was very easy to use so we had no difficulties
in trying to figure things out.
3. Problems we faced & resolving the issues
One of the problems we faced was that the top of the tripod which
connects the camera was lost, so we couldnt use the tripod for some
shots, we resolved this issue by using a handheld shot for some,
but holding it steady, which was better, and gave a better effect,
and for others we had to cellotape the camera to the tripod, which
we found worked.
Another problem we faced was the battery on the camera, when we
needed to film outside the camera ran out of charge, which gave us
a limited amount of time to film, however we overcome this the next
time by charging the camera whilst we filmed inside, then it was
charged by the time we went outside
4. New equipment to enhance the film
For our film we didnt use any new equipment to enhance the film not
only because it wasnt available, but because we didnt feel that it
was necessary as well, and we didnt feel that it would have
enhanced our film much.
5. Editing Software
To edit our sequence we used imovie, which we found slightly
difficult at first as we were used to another version of imovie,
although we found it easier once we started using it, we still
found it hard to use the effects we found on imovie as we thought
we could only use one at first. We learned how to put different
effects in at different times and how to apply them. We found the
effects particularly useful to give a more mysterious effect.
6. GarageBand
7. Garageband
We found garageband a very useful programme for creating our
soundtrack as we found that It had a very wide variety of sounds
for us to use, and we also found that with it, we didnt just have
to stick with one genre or piece of music, and we could use a lot
more different things which went more. During the process of using
garageband we found it a challenge to use more than one sound at
the same time that went with the music and our sequence, although
once we got more used to it we found it easier to put something
together as we found that we didnt really have any restrictions. A
challenge that we also found was matching the sounds to the
sequence, as we couldnt really play them at the same time, also we
couldnt make changes once we put our soundtrack on to our sequence,
so it would have been a lot easier to be able to somehow make
changes to the soundtrack whilst watching the sequence on the same
programme, although we done it in the end.
8. Titles
To create our titles we used the ones from imovie, we didnt use
anything different because we didnt feel that it was particularly
necessary or useful, also we found it easier to use than anything
else which was more complicated, although at first we did have to
figure out how to put the titles on, but once we done that it was a
lot easier. We found that we could alter the speed, font and size
of our titles very easily, we could also decide when it should
pause and whereabouts to put it in, we could also choose weather it
had a background or not.
9. Photoshop
To create our company logo we used Photoshop which we found was
very good as it was easy to use and we didnt have any problems with
it, we also found that we could make our logo look however we
wanted it to and it wouldnt be the same or similar to anything
else, and therefore it would be easily recognizable.
