Evaluation activity six

What have you learn’t about technologies from the process of

constructing this product?

BlogsBlogger is something I hadn’t used before and at first did not understand how to use and became difficult as we couldn’t always get internet access to it from our school. However in the process of planning and going back to evaluate our ideas and thoughts it was a really useful tool as we could display all different forms of media on to one site. Seeing the work on screen and being able to montage images and text helped us build up an image and style as to how our film was starting to develop.

The use of blogger also mean's we could communicate idea’s better amongst the group

Digital camera As our opening uses still and moving image we worked with film cameras and slrs. The most challenging was to work with the filming camera as we had trouble with making sure the zooming was correct and not to fast and shooting at night there was no mode or flash that allowed us to do this, however as we found out that we would not get much detail at night with the camera we worked with a torch adding in the light. This we found actually gave more of an urban, surreal effect as we could control which areas we wanted to highlight.

Editing equipment/ adobe • In the process of designing our

indent I used adobe Photoshop which I had downloaded as a free trial

• Working with Photoshop mean's that I could be really selective and experimental with how I felt things should look, nothing was out of reach

Working with the levels of exposure and tone

Working with shadow and highlights

Knowledge gained from working with software

• Such programmes such as adobe premier and Photoshop I have learn’t a lot more about and become more fluent in.

• Reflecting on what I have learn’t I feel that the next project I work on will be to a much higher standard and I will be able to construct much more complicated yet effective effects and edits
