Evaluation 7; What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?


Blogging was the most used technology throughout the process of making the opening sequence. It kept all our ideas organised and it was very useful. We were able to blog anything and keep it safe while we did other things. We also used Facebook and Hotmail to contact people and make sure everyone was up to date. We also used it to talk to other members of our class and hotmail especially with our teacher.
Wordle is what we used to help create the name for our film, where we came up with many names and ideas about our film and it came out with lots of words. Although we never actually used one of the titles it came up with. Scribbed is what we used when we needed to upload word files to put them in our blog.
We learnt how to use Adobe Premiere and we practised making still credits using Photoshop.
Because of our low budget we were unable to use lights, so we used the natural lights. This worked well as we needed that anyway in Ashley's bedroom. In the party room scenes we were luckily using lights that dimmed down which was good because we need to create a dark room but obviously we needed a bit of light so that we could film. We used a Dv film camera. I learnt lots of things through the internet and lots of skills to help with our film making. For example embedding, which I had never used before making this film. Embedding is when you can copy a YouTube video into your blog. Editing on Adobe is a very useful thing to know how to do. Although it took a lot of practise, it was very simple once you had got used to it.
