Evaluation Question 6What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of constructing this product?
What technologies did you use to help you with your research and planning? Google Diary? Mobile phone? Facebook?
The technologies I used to help me with my research and planning were Facebook and
Google diary.
Facebook was very useful to get constructive feedback from our intended audience by asking them questions about the genre and conventions of our film. We targeted teenage girls, roughly from the ages of 12-17 to answer questions such as ‘What would you expect the ‘Queen bee’ to look like in a chick flick?’
Google Diary
Google Diary was useful for us to keep on top of all the work we had to do. It enabled us to meet deadlines so everything was organised so everyone knew what they were doing on
what day.
What technologies did you use to produce your animatic?
When we created our animatic, we firstly took pictures of all the frames on our shot list using
a digital camera, and we then uploaded the photos to premier pro which we then uploaded
to Youtube, to embed in our blogs.
Blogger.com
Blogger.com is a very useful way to keep on top of everything you’ve done and learnt so far. It demonstrates your understanding and is a helpful and interesting way of presenting your work, as images and videos can be
uploaded as well as just simple text. It lays it out in chronological order so all work can be presented in the
correct order without you having to sort through it.
How have you used Youtube/Websites to help you research and put together ideas?
Youtube has been an extremely helpful source
as I have researched existing film openings and
title sequences as inspiration for my own
project. The title sequence to ‘Napoleon Dynamite’
inspired my own which is shown on youtube:

We also took inspiration from ‘A Cinderella Story’
and it’s title sequence which is on Youtube. We
wanted to have our company credit at the start in fancy writing which is show here:
This new technology has made it so much easier to access title sequences we
could use for inspiration as all that needs to be done is to type the search you’re looking for into Youtube and it will come up, as a
video format, rather than explain in words what the
title sequence looks like and does. People can see what it looks like for themselves.
The camera we used was a normal digital panasonic video camera which simply but
effectively captured the footage we needed as we recorded, rewound and played back the
footage.
On Location and Premier Pro was a great help in
order for us to complete our task as it was so easy to cut and paste the film
together, so when we thought some parts
didn’t work, we could simply delete it and
replace it with something else.
Transitions, music and sound effects could also
be added
How did you get your finished film opening on to your blog?
Once we had completed our film on premier pro, we had to get the URL to put
it on Youtube, and then copied and
pasted the link to embed on my blog.
How has technology been useful in helping you produce a stimulating and interactive Evaluation?
During my evaluation, I have incorporated a variety of
technology including Prezi’s, PowerPoint's, Windows movie maker and the use of blogger. It is important that blog posts aren’t just simple text in order
for it to look interesting and readable to the reader. These
technologies that were available to me enabled me to
showcase my evaluation interestingly and interactively.
Did the technology help you at all; or did it go wrong? Were there things you wanted to do but couldn't?
Technology could go wrong at times, but
with perseverance we managed to resolve
these mishaps. Our very first idea was to have our titles drawn onto
the screen with lipstick, however the
programmes we were using weren’t as
technical as our plans, so we had to go for a
simpler approach. Our approach
