QUESTION 6. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS

OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT

• For this question I will be explaining the different technologies we used for the creation of our media product.

• Entering A-level media we were introduced to many different forms of technology both in the form of hardware and software.

INTRODUCTION

Although very familiar with this editing software due to the fact I used it extensively during GCSE, however I was always open to learn new ways of editing our media product.

Whilst editing I discovered a feature which allowed you to change most things in the footage, through this I learned how to slow down the scene, reverse and even change the lighting of a scene.

A new technology we all had to learn how to use was blogger, this I a social blog which we were tasked to use this by uploading blogs every lesson based on our work. These post were to include research, filming and editing updates and any thing else based on the production of our media product, the minimum amount of post we were to have uploaded on the blog was 80 which our group will meet once are evaluation posts are up.

BLOGGER

After briefly using a camera during the filming of our GCSE film I still had much to learn about the camera, how to upload footage off the camera and the different equipment used to film. The main thing I learned about the camera was uploading the footage to our blogger which involved rendering it, uploading it to YouTube then downloading it off YouTube to blogger and then labelling it.

Prezi is an online presentation website which allows account members to create many different variations interactive presentations, which can be used for educational reasons or any other reasons, as well as this, these presentations can be shared

to the public and the public can share their presentations under certain categories the

presentation is themed about through another website I will be talking about in the next slide.

I used Prezi during the creation of my evaluation questions for my Question 7 as it was an

alternative way of answering the evaluation questions than I had already used and it allowed

me to create a very detailed interactive presentation with, animation, links and images.

As breifly mentioned in the previous slide, slideshare is a website linked used to share

documents created by the public, this website is can be used for

education or just generally creating documents to help people with any topic they need help on.During my time using slideshare I

unfortunately struggled with trying to share work from slideshare to

our blog which with a bit of help I managed to overcome this

problem.

Although not used towards our work our group used social media in the form of Facebook messenger as we used this form of communication to

keep in contact and fill each other in on how much work had been

completed, as well as this, social media played a large role in the

production of our groups film as we were all able to communicate

together to sort out a place and time to shoot scenes for out film.
