TECHNOLOGY USED

By Dorcas Viela

Throughout our production we have used many different technologies in the process of constructing our film, some of these include....

Bubbl.us is a mind-mapping product aimed towards literally anyone who needs help organizing their thoughts or any untidy information. Powered by Flash, Bubbl.us makes it easy for anyone to quickly start planning and sorting out their ideas through the use of linked text bubbles. Each bubble of information is connected to its preceding parent bubble and colour coordinated accordingly for hierarchy sake.

Tia-Reisa used bubbl.us in our production in order to construct the brainstorm for our research and planning.

Scribd is a self-publishing platform where you can not only publish articles, but also share files. Scribd is a document-sharing website that allows users to post documents of various formats, and embed them into a web page using its iPaper format

Our group used Scribd to upload word documents for example a letter of permission. Scribd was a good programme to use as it saved your work online so you didn't need to save your work on a USB .

Slide Rocket is an online presentation platform that connects you to your audience, your co-workers, and your web-based content. It enables you to collaborate on engaging presentations, easily and securely share them, and gain insight into how they are being used.

We used slide rocket instead of using Microsoft PowerPoint because it was something different it also had better additional features to offer. Slide Rocket keeps your resources secure and available with the help of Amazon's S3 Internet Storage.

Slide Share is a website that offers business media such as documents, pdfs and slide presentations. It is a community consisting of professionals from various industries, where people can register and upload their business content. Other individuals can come in and comment on the media uploaded. The website has more than 25 million visitors monthly with the numbers growing quickly.We used Slide Share so we could upload and share our presentation is uploaded to and other users can rate, comment on our work

The Canon 600D but it's a well-balanced, competitively priced digital SLR with a knack for making expert photography highly accessible. It has a useful fold-out screen ,numerous video features and plenty of on-board help and creative tools . We used this to take pictures of our production and then to film our production it was fairly easy to use when Tia-Reisa got used to it but at the start we needed to watch tutorials in order to help us learn how to use it .

Overall we have learnt a lot about technology throughout this project; before creating our production we’d never used, Blogger or Bubbl.us or Scribd etc . We now feel very confident using these technologies, and have also learnt a lot about taking images (angles and shots to use).
