1. Evaluation 6 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

2. How did you use a blog to work collaboratively? We all collaboratively used the blog by adding all our emails to the people who could edit the blog (in settings), we posted all our ideas and logged our process. We used blogger.com . I learnt more about how to design a blog and post to a blog (embedding HTMLs and editing the format). I also learnt how to use surveymonkey to post questions up and learnt how much the power of social media aids feedback (sharing to Facebook). Also, YouTube means that we could post and share each task; we could share it to social media sites to get feedback and showcase our work. I learnt more about uploading videos to YouTube, getting them to the right file format & adding tabs in order for the public to find your video. I learnt about the clipping tool and also the insert>> screenshot in word and PowerPoint which was very useful. 3. How did you film your work? Equipment: Fig Rig Tracking Dolly Lighting Rig Profilmic effects Rode Shotgun Microphone Canon Camera Tripod We had an issue with the microphone in the final cut and we used solved this by using a Rode Shotgun Microphone and inserted the USB stick into the computer to dub in the dialogue which worked really well; it was clear. We used higher quality profilmic effects for the 5 effect because we got feedback from the teachers that the pen drawn on the hand was not horror enough and it would look more professional. We solved the inconsistent lighting by using a lighting rig (held by me). The tracking dolly was borrowed from the school and gave a really good professional effect to our piece and a sense of foreboding. I learnt that mise-en-scene makes all the difference, whether it be the polaroids, the lighting, the costume or the profilmic effects. 4. How did you edit your piece? We used Adobe Premiere Elements. I learnt a lot more about editing and have learnt more techniques; my future pieces can now be of higher quality. 5. I learnt how to use continuity editing effectively to produce a clean final piece. The split screen effect can be used if you hover over the line between 2 clips until there is a red image and if you hold down you can see the clips (one after the other) back to back and adjust. 6. I learnt how to export; it is in the right file to save to the computer and post to YouTube. I explored the use of font which resulted in the credits in Kartika and the title in Normal font (on Adobe premiere elements). Due to the necessity to choose the font I also learnt how to add text to a clip and edit it accordingly. 7. I also learnt about how to adjust the volume on clips and fade in or out; the soundtrack could be more effective and more professional. I did this by holding down the mouse over the yellow line and adjusting accordingly (up or down for volume and the white dots up or down to fade in or out). I also learnt how to render (by pressing the enter bar). 8. I also learnt shortcuts such as using the keyboard & the clipping tool without adjusting it in preview. These techniques made editing more efficient.
