QUESTION 6-

Marked evaluation-

The technology we used-

We used the following technology in are film opening-• A camcorder• A microphone• A computer• An ipad• A docking station

Everything I have learnt from using technology.

From using this technology I have learnt you have to be focussed at all times when using any on the pieces of equipment as its so easy for something to go from for example is you aren't focused and clip the wrong button whilst editing you could mess everything up, or if you aren't paying attention how your actor was stood and then they move it makes match on action extremely hard!

Technical Difficulties

A few technical difficulties we encountered whilst filming occurred mainly in the outdoor clips for example when recording the church scene it was next to a main road so cars would occasionally pull up or zoom past meaning you would hear and see them.

Another incident we had was the camera not focussing, when changing location the setting of the camera changed so we had to fix it which was extremely stressful as we had to get our filming done as soon as possible.

Software and Hardwear

We only used 2 software's to edit our opening which were premier pro and after effects

We used premier to edit our song and film clips however we used after effects to edit our title sequence as we downloaded a template for our titles.

As always editing can be stressful however we managed and enjoyed our self in the process, I focussed on editing the film clips whilst my partner focussed on the title sequence and the sound.

Did you realise so much work went into creating similar media products?

I understood the amount of work that would be included in this project however I think its different being familiar with the word load rather than actually committing to the work. This project took an incredible amount of work and time and was extremely hard for me as I had 4 a levels as well as extra curriculum activity's. However saying this when I was doing my research for this project I discovered there was so much to look in to that I hadn't even thought about for example the fonts. This was weird for me as when watching a film before I started media a level I never considered what the font connoted or how it reflected the narrative or genre.

My Technical skills

There are a few shots and editing skill I am extremely proud of fro example the match on action of the door the pan of the room at the party and the low angle shot in the sink. All of these I filmed myself which makes we very proud of myself. I am also quite proud of our production logo and the edited lighting in the church scene.

My Technical skills

What would you do differently to improve or alter your product?

I think that there are a couple of things I would alter to make our opening better including the following… Put a sock a round our microphone when

recording dialogue Film all clips in the daylight even indoor

shotsFilm when its not raining
