Question 6-What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

In this question I will be speaking about the technology's that I used during the making and editing of my media piece.

This me using da font we used this to find a font that we would use for our distribution company logo. If we did not have this piece of technology we would have had to use one of the fonts that are pre loaded on the editing software we used. Therefore it made our media product more able to be tailored to what we wanted it too look like. This helped us add to the meaning of our piece as if we used a font that was round and neat it would not really represent the genre in the way that we wanted therefore we could use a font from da font that we felt would represent the film in a better way and give the audience a clearer understanding from the start.   

This is me using prezi. Prezi is a presentation website, that i used in the making of our media product.

This is me using tube chop. Tube chop is a website that lets you cut up YouTube clips and present them.

This is me using YouTube. YouTube is a site were people upload videos on various different things. We used it for some of the conventions of an opening sequence I feel that this added more meaning into the final media piece as we could see other films opening sequences and this gave us some ideas for shots. Therefore we could have a better final piece as without this we would have had to use shots from the top of our head and they would not be as effective as the shots we could have used in the final draft.

This is me using blogger this was very helpful to me as I could document what i was doing and what i needed to do helping me get organized. Therefore I would have more time to think about the final draft rather than organizing my work if it was in paper form.  

This again is YouTube.

This is blogger We used blogger to upload our work research and various different pieces of work.

This is me using Photoshop I feel that this was a huge help in making our final draft mostly in the making of our distribution company logo. We would have never been able to make the production company in the way that we envisaged. We really had a chance to express our creativity this was really all due to this software. And this really helped us. This also added meaning as without it we would have never been able to create an effective production logo therefore we added a better production logo and this added meaning to the piece as we could have represented our film in a better light as we could add more colors and add what we wanted to do and give the audience the right impression of what we are doing.     

This is a Photoshop shot again.

This is a Photoshop shot again.

This is using adobe Premier this was a huge bonus to us without it i don't think we would have never been able to produce the final piece that we did as we would have not been able to edit the piece in a very good way and the piece would have been very poor as the editing would have not flowed very well. We added meaning as we could add more sound effects and fades in the piece. This would have created meaning as without the sound effects the audience would have been bored and with the fades this would have helped made the final draft flow smother and slicker meaning it is easier to watch adding meaning in that way.    

This is me using the DSLR camera this was a very important piece of equipment as it was very sharp filming and was not very complicated to use therefore we could film our piece in very good quality and it would look at lot better because of this. Also we could create meaning as with the DSLR cameras we could track in, this would have helped to create meaning as without this feature we would have had to have boring close ups rather than tracks which look a lot better and will help to move the piece on rather than having rigid close ups all the time a track would be used to ease into the next shot adding meaning as the audience would be more interested as the whole piece would flow a lot easier Also if we used a camera with very poor quality this would make the meaning seem unclear therefore having this camera was very helpful in creating the meaning. For example the opening shot was only available to us because we had the DSLR cameras without them the shot would have not been possible because we used a track to add meaning and the DSLR cameras helped us do this well.     

This is the tripod. We used the tripod to keep the camera balanced and help with the filming of all the shots. The tripod was of huge importance to us as without the tripod we would have had shaky shots and would have not been able to film most of the shots we did. This helped us create meaning in the following ways we could use the tripod to steady the camera but also we could film a lot more shots to add meaning. For example the dutch tilt we used at the start of the opening sequence was only possible because of the tripod. Therefore we could add meaning in the piece thnks to the steadiness of the tripod and the movement.     

This again is the DSLR camera.

Overall I feel that these technologies were of huge importance as if we did not have them we would have not got the final product we ended up having and it could have looked very poor compared to what it did look like and when we put all these technologies and equipment together I felt that we was able to get across the meaning very well.
