Skills acquired How did these skills contribute to the creation of your

product?

How will you develop these

skills during the A2 project?

Digital technology- What

equipment/software packages did you use to produce your production?

I used a Sony handy cam to film my practice music video and my title sequence.

I used a mac to upload our videos and also to edit them and to do other activities this was the first time that I had ever used a mac is as I only used window computers.

The skills I used with the camera contributed to the creation of the sequence.

The skills I learned on the mac helped me to do many things, such as editing and doing pre production tasks.

To use the camera much more often so I can develop my camera skills even further so we can use much more advanced camera skills on the sequence.

I can also improve my editing skills so we can make our sequence look more professional.

Post production- What software

did you use to create your production?

- Discuss specific features of the software.

I used many types of software such as final cut and Photoshop.

Specific features I used in photo shop were things such as the pixilation tool and magnetic lasso tool.

However I did not particularly use Final Cut, as I was not the main editor of the group. I also used blogger frequently to show my progress through the production stages. I also used Prezi this was used to help create presentations for our evaluation questions after filming our sequences.

I also used slide share to convert my documents so that they could be shown on my blog

The skills I used on Photoshop helped create things such as posters and mood boards to help give us ideas for our sequence

The use of final cut was pivotal in our production as without it we wouldn’t be able to edit and complete our sequence

Blogger was useful in the production of the sequence as it helped us track the progress of the production Prezi was useful in our production as it made presenting our work such as our evaluation questions look more professional

I can develop my skills in Final cut significantly so I can get more involved with the editing side of project.

I can use final cut more frequently so we can improve the quality of our sequence.

I could make my blog look more organized and more appealing to the eye which will make it much easier for the marker to find specific things and more atheistically pleasing.

I could use different types of prezis instead of a blank one to make it look more unique and much more imaginative with my ideas.

Research and Planning

- What tasks did you complete when

We did many tasks when preparing to film our sequence such as storyboards to assess how our film sequence would pan out.

The storyboard was useful in the production of the sequence as it gave the group a clear idea what shots and angles will be using, the location of the

We can improve our storyboard for our music video by making longer and adding more description to
