Evaluation Question 6

TECHNOLOGIES WE HAVE USED DURING OUR PRODUCTION

THROUGHOUT OUR PRODUCTION WE HAVE USED A FEW TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP US DEVELOP OUR FINAL PRODUCT. 

WHEN FILMING, WE USED A DV CAMERA WITH A MICROPHONE TO ALLOW US ACHIEVE THE QUALITY STANDARDS. ALSO, WE USED ABIGAYLE'S MICROPHONE TO RECORD THE NARRATION AND FOLEY SOUNDS FOR OUR OPENING SEQUENCE. 

THE EDITING WAS THE HARDEST PART AS WE HAD TO LEARN HOW TO USE LOTS OF DIFFERENT SOFTWARE PROGRAMES INCLUDING:

*ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR - I HAVE RECENTLY USED THIS PROGRAM IN MY OTHER SUBJECTS, SO I WAS QUITE CONFIDENT TO DESIGN OUR IDENT LOGO WITH IT. I SCANED THE ORINAG SKETCH AND USED PAINT TOOL TO TRACE IT ONTO THE ILLUSTRATOR TO HAVE A DIGITAL DESIGN FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT.

*AFTER EFFECTS - WE USED AFTER EFFECTS FOR COUPLE OF DETAILS; AT THE BEGINNING WE USED IT FOR THE INDENT TO ADD SOME MOVEMENT AND SPECIAL EFFECTS. THEN WE ALSO USED IT FOR THE TITLE CREDITS: WE EDITED FONT AND EFFECTS OF THE TEXT THAT APPEARS IN THE SEQUENCE.SOME OF THEM HAVE DIFFERENT EFFECTS, E.G. THE FIRST INSTITUTIONAL AND DISTRIBUTION CREDITS HAVE A 'JIGGY' EFFECT ON, HOWEVER, WE COULDN'T USE IT FOR THE OTHER TITLES AS IT WAS HARD TO READ THEM AND THE TIMMING WAS TOO SHORT. INSTEAD OF THAT, WE ADDED A 'TYPO' EFFECT, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS TYPING THE CDREDITS AS THEY APPEAR ON THE SCREEN. 

*PREMIER PRO - THIS WAS THE MAIN PROGRAM THAT WE USED WHEN CREATING THE TITLE OPENING SEQUENCE. FIRSTLY, WE CUT AND PLACE THE WHOLE SEQUENCE IN ORDER THAT WOULD REFLECT OUR STORYBOARD, THEN WE LEFT BLANK GAPS FOR THE TITLES. WE ALSO EDITED THE MUSIC USING FADE IN AND OUT EFFECTS AND ALSO CUTTING AND PLACING IN THE POSITION TO GO WELL TOGETHER WITH THE WHOLE VISUAL SEQUENCE. MOREOVER, WE HAVE USED THIS PROGRAM TO EDIT THE BRIGHTNESS OF SOME OF OUR SHOTS THAT WERE EITHER TOO LIGHT OR TOO DARK.

*INTERNET - WE USED INTERNET FOR A WIDE RANGE OF DIFFERENT THINGS, E.G. SOCIAL MEDIA. WE CREATED INSTAGRAM AND TWTTER ACCOUNTS TO PROMOTE OUR FILM TO THE WIDER AUDIENCE, ALSO CREATED A WIX WEBSITE TO SHOW PEOPLE OUR DEVELOPMENT OF THE TITLE OPENING SEQUENCE. MOREOVER, WE USED IT FOR FINDING INFORMATION AND BLOGGING ABOUT OUR PRODUCTION.

*YOUTUBE - IT'S PART OF THE INTERNET GOODS THAT WE USED. WE UPLOADED OUR ROUGH CUTS ONTO THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN ORDER TO PUBLISH THEM AND GET FEEDBACK. ALSO, WE USED YOUTUBE WHILE LOOKING FOR SOUNDTRACKS THAT WOULD APPEAL TO OUR FILM.

*COPYRIGHT FREE MUSC - WE USED A COPYRIGHT WEBSITES TO DOWNLOAD OUR SOUNDTRACK WHICH WE USED FOR THE SEQUENCE.

*VIDEO CAMERAS - AS MENTIONED BEFORE, WE USED A DV VIDEO CAMERAS FROM COLLEGE MEDIA DEPARTMENT TO RECORD A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SHOTS CREATED THE WHOLE SEQUENCE.

*VIDEO DRIVE - EVERY DIGITAL DETAIL THAT WAS INCLUDED IN OUR SEQUENCE WAS STORED IN A VIDEO DRIVE. THIS WAY WE PREVENTED THE ACCIDENTS (SOMEONE DELETING OUR WORK, COMPUTER CRASH, ETC.)

*SD CARDS - WE USED THREE SD CARDS TO STORE OUR CLIPS WHILE FILMING THE SHOTS.

*MOBILE  PHONES - WE USED MOBILE PHONES TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE LOCATIONS WHERE WE WERE FILMING, WE ALSO USED IT IN ONE OF THE SCENES WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE OPENING. MOREOVER, IT WAS USEFUL WHEN PROMOTING OUR SEQUENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

*COMPUTERS - WE USED MAC COMPUTERS TO EDIT THE SEQUENCE AND TO BLOG ABOUT OUR PRODUCTION.
