What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learnt a lot about different media technologies and the roles they played in our media project. They sped up the process of creating important parts such as the script. It also helped produce these parts to a high quality.

The technologies we used for;Script Writing > CeltxEditing > final cut pro > ipad final cut pro bookFilming > video camera (D6, L120 Nikon)Production schedule etc > computer-blog

Script

We firstly made the script on a piece of software called Celtx

Celtx is a program that edits the text into a script format

Your text can be edited and turned into a pdf very quickly we found this very useful.

Celtx helped us to create and professional looking script. It was also helpful as we created a professional looking script in short amount of time, it was also very easy to use.

EditingFor editing we used software called Final Cut Pro.

Final cut pro is a piece of software that we use to edit our software.

It was very useful as it allowed us to add sound to our product. It also let us add affects to the product to make it look professional.

To guide us through the editing process we used a Ipad final cut pro book to help us if we were unsure about a certain technique during editing. We both found it very useful throughout editing and both thought it was better to have it on the ipad instead of a big textbook or lots of pieces of paper.

IPAD & EBOOKS

FilmingMe and my partner used a Panasonic camera that was provided by the school. We used this one for our café scene. It was very helpful as it provided a profession feel to the product and the quality was very clear.

For two of our other scenes (the wonderland scenes) we used a Nikon Coolpix L20 as it gave a new feel to wonderland because of the high quality. It was very helpful as it was very straight forward and again gave a professional feel to the product.

Me and my partner used to safari and YouTube to find some soundtracks that would fit our product perfectly. We were allowed to see millions of pieces of music by using YouTube and it helped us find the right one.

One we found the right one we used a website called Video2mp3 which allowed us to download the music and put it into our production.
