Evaluation Question 6 (Michael)

Evaluation Activity 6

What have you learn't about technologies from the process of constructing your product?


Technologies we used in the process:


Canon DSL 650 D with 18 - 55 mm lens:

Although I was not the cameraman and therefore didn't have much experience with the camera, when I did use the camera it was easy to use and easy to film with. However one con that I would say is sometimes it was hard to focus with.
 Microphone: 
The Microphone picked up the dialogue of the actors very well and blocked out most of the background noise. Although when it picked up the dialogue the sound quality was very good, sometimes the mic wouldn't pick up the sound and we would have to film again.

Blogger:
Blogger was very useful throughout the production process of our thriller opening as it helped us to record our research and ideas with ease. However when producing something on blogger especially when using pictures it would become frustrating when the layout would change (from what you see when editing to what viewers see) as pictures would often be in different positions and it wouldn't                                                       look as good.

Final cut pro:
Final cut pro was very useful to work on as it auto saved your work and it worked very well on the macs. However after editing the final product took quite a long time to render and if too much footage was added the app wouldn't work properly and made the editing process a lot longer.

Looking back at your preliminry task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? To remind you again here is our Prelim Task and our Full Product... Preliminary Task -  Full Product -   PRE-PRODUCTION STAGE: •There are a few similarities between  our preliminary task and final product , in terms of the planning process, and differences, such as equipment used and depth of research.  • For our preliminary, we were only allowed 30 minutes of time for pre-production; which included planning the narrative and dialogue. Since the time we had for all 3 production processes was very short, our preliminary was not as high standard as our final product.  • For our thriller opening, pre-production was for about two weeks; where we planned initial ideas as well as final, we researched deeply into the thriller genre and the type of audience we would get and plan scripts and health & safety etc.  • Thi...

Preliminary task evaluation: Pre-production -In the pre-production process as we did not have much time we did not write a storyboard or a script and just came up with an original concept (The Chase), w e also did not have any costumes or props that we could use. We had to make use of our space around school as we were not aloud off site to film and after walking around the whole school we decided the best place to use was the science block. Production During the production stage we used techniques such as match-on-action and shot reverse shot to create verisimilitude. Post production Finally in post production we imported everything on to the MacBooks and used final cut pro to edit our film. We pieced together the scenes as we wanted using continuity editing. We then added sound effects, music and credits. What went well? We included a shot reverse shot successfully. We had a finished film. We used Match-on-action successfully.  Even better if? Re shoot ...
