Evaluation question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?


Throughout there construction of this product, I have learnt about many different programmes and softwares that I have never had the chance to use before. 

Blogger

Before I began this project, I had never heard of blogger and had never had any experience with using
it. We used blogger as a way to keep track of our progress and to document our experiences and research that we had gathered throughout the process. Having now used it for our media product, I have become very confident with using the software as it is simple and user friendly. I can confidently apply different features to the blog and I can effectively design it to suit my personal preference. I have found using blogger very useful throughout this project as doing so has allowed me to keep all of my work together in one, easily accessible location. 


Prezi

I had never heard of prezi before i began work on this project. Prezi is a unique platform which can allow you to create a professional looking presentation which is simple and easy to follow. In the past, I have strictly used powerpoint to create visual presentations however, the basic layout of prezi is very unique and creates a different effect than a presentation created on powerpoint. Having now used prezi for this project, i am confident with the software and i will be sure to use it again in the future for another purpose.

Premier Pro

We used premier pro to edit our product together. Premier allowed us to really be able to put our own style into our individual films and gave us complete freedom to be as creative as possible. I have not had much experience with using editing softwares in the past so using this program was a challenge to start however, it was simple and straightforward which allowed me to be able to pick up on the different features more easily so that i could have a better understanding of what we could do with the footage we had gathered. Knowing how to program worked allowed me to be able to help Josh in the editing stage and allowed me to be able to make suggestions on how to final product should look.


Use of camera

Throughout the production process of our film, I have learnt many different camera techniques that I will be able to use throughout future projects. As I did not take media studies for GCSE, I was quite behind the rest of my class in terms of knowledge and understanding of the different camera shots that can be used in a project. I now have a far broader knowledge of the range of possible shots that can be used and also the effects that they can have on the audience's perception of the film.
