Question 6 Evaluation

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

In the creation of our opening sequence I have used many different technologies. These technologies include : Livetype , IMovie, Final cut express and many websites such as freesound.org and dafont.com. Livetype was used to to add titles to our opening sequence and also to create our distributors logo. This software is was brand new to me being new to media , and to begin with I found it very difficult to use , after a while of practicing and g

etting used to the different icons which I could use to create different effects , I soon became familiar with the software. I believe that this software allowed us to create a really creative distributors logo , as it contained the right genre font and effects which work perfectly with the genre of our film.

I found using www.freesound.org and dafont.com very useful as these allowed us to search for different fonts and music which suited our chosen genre. Without these websites we would have been limited to using

specific fonts and music. These websites took a lot of time to find the perfect font but was well worth the time taken . For example , in our opening sequent a car boot slams , due to lots of background noise when the film was taken we couldn't use our original boot slam. This is w

here freesound.org came

in really handy.

When actually filming and uploading our opening sequence we used many different technologies including: A camera , tripod and figrig to film , but also the Mac computer to upload our footage.

The tripod allowed us to sustain a steady shot, which overall improved the professionalism

of our opening sequence. The quality of our camera also improved our opening sequence as the picture quality allowd us to create clear shots. Another piece of equipement which we used includes the figrig. This allows us to also create a steady shot , but is not the same as a tripod , as it doesnt restrict how we recorded out shots as we could freely walk around holding the figrig , allowing us to create more interesting shots.

Wordle is also another website which I used , it allowed me to create this collage of different technologies which I used throughout the build up of creating my opening sequence and during creating my blog. This is a more creative way of showing the different technologies used , instead of just listing them.

Here , I used 'Jing' to show how we created our production company logo using Livetype.
