During AS, digital technology was an advantage for my post production for example the use of blogging allowed me to receive feedback from my audience to therefore improve my production of my experimental film, and also title sequence and film opening.

Other internet technologies such as YouTube allowed me to gather research for my title sequence and film opening, I was able to research upon Saul Bass who was most famously known for his title sequences such as “Seconds” and “The man with a golden arm”. Without this internet technology I would have been unable to gain this research in particular which helped influence and inspire my own work involving using various shots and edits.

Other internet technologies such as Photoshop also allowed me to make photos more efficient to use to then upload onto my blog.

The software of Adobe Premiere CS6 aloud me to edit the title sequence efficiently making it look more professional and also entertaining for the audience. Without edits such as “crop”, “fades” and also “dissolves” the title sequence would not flow efficiently making the final production look un professional.

However in A2 I used a lot more digital technology then I had previously done, I continued using Adobe Premiere for the editing process of my documentary which I was able to do quickly due to having experience with the software during AS. I was therefore able to use more skillful edits such as “scale and fix”, “fading transitions” as well as the “split screen” effect.

These were carried out due to my understanding of the previous edits used, I also become more familiar with using audio in Premiere for muting particular clips and using the “typewriter” effect.

During A2 I also used internet technologies such as “survey monkey” through social networks such as Facebook in order to gain a wider an random response from my audience, giving me anonymous feedback that therefore helped the production of my documentary and its progress.

Other software such as InDesign in the design software that I used when creating my ancillary products, I was new to using this software and the skills needed in order to create a professional looking photo. I therefore used research on YouTube, as I did not have media technicians available to help me, however YouTube was helpful on various edits to be used for example fading and making particular parts of the photo transparent.

In conclusion digital technology enabled me to research as well as produce professional looking work which would have been difficult to accomplish without the digital technology that was available to me.
