EVALUATION 6

What have you learnt about technologies

from constructing your product?

I learned a lot about technologies during the

construction of my opening sequence. Firstly I’ve

learned about cameras and how to check the

resolution and quality, which I am working with. The

knowledge of the camera was passed on by Anthony,

my class technician.

I learned how to use a microphone and the

distance to hold it from the character to avoid

baffling sounds. The microphone however gave me a

big challenge during filming because it was

impossible to separate noise from vocals. The

environment of filming was not all quiet and this

gave me a big fight.

I also learnt how to setup and use the tripod, dolly

and track to establish tracking shots. I widened my

knowledge how to use Adobe Photoshop, which I

used to create my company logo. It was a new

experience to me at first but with a few online

tutorials, I manage to create an amazingly unique

logo for my film company.

I was also a beginner to the use of Prezi and

Slideshare and I learnt about them to make

presentations for my blogger account. I used an

online software called Flixpress to create my

company intro. I uploaded the photo of my logo and

add text of my choice, which then moved, with my

chosen template. It really came in handy because I

had no introduction for my company and it really did

a great job.

I also feel great to know that I have learnt how to use

Adobe Premiere Pro. It is my first experience using this

software and it’s a good feeling to know I have a mass

amount of knowledge how to use it. I used it to do my editing

where I was able to brighten the clips, adjust contrast, add

transitions and effects like cube split and slow motion, and

also to insert audio tracks to play along with my clips. Adobe

Premiere Pro is such a fantastic software and it encourages

me in the post production aspect of movie making.
