Evaluation question 6

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

Benefits of using technology are that it helps to build skills as it helps the user improve in the way they use the software. It also helps them get use to the software and be aware of all the various different things that can be done.  The use of different technology helps visualise ideas and developing the visions we had for our project. This also helped aesthetic of our opening sequence.

While I was doing research and planning I used various software’s and different was in to present the various information I had collected. This was done to ensure all the information that was collected as easy to view and understand. The softwares that I had used was all new for me therefore the more I used it the more I found it easy to use and I had earned new thing that could be done on the different applications. All the different  application were not at the same level as certain software’s such as the adobe premier pro , adobe Photoshop  and prezi took more time to learn how to use it as it is a much complicated  designed application software . the various  technology I had used to present my research and planning in ways such as Powtoon, Blogger , Prezi , YouTube , Pictochart , Slideshare , Emazi,  Video , MAC computer , adobe premier pro  and adobe Photoshop

I learned to use a DSLR camera much confidently and also learned how to frame each shots in a different was in order for the shots to be more affective and also to ensure the scene we film fits exactly into our genre. We had used a go pro to put in place a small scene where a glass drops from a high level to the ground showing the glass smashing to the ground. Even though we had captured the scene looked very affective we decided to take it out of our opening sequences as we thought we had too much going on.  We also used a tripod to ensure that our scene was filmed in focus and to ensure the camera was not shaking as this would have been unprofessional.

During editing we used mainly two software to bring our opening sequence to a finished and polished product. This was Adobe premiere pro and Adobe Photoshop. When we started to Adobe Premiere Pro at the start we was not confidant as we did know how to make the idea in our head come to live on the screen. We was unsure of how to do certain transition but however the research we had done at the start helped us massively in to work out how to use the software. We found that it was easier to do the titles on Adobe Photoshop as Adobe premiere pro could not make the titles in how we exactly wanted it. Therefore by using Adobe Photoshop we managed to get design all the titles in how we had vision it. The titles turned out to much better then what we had planned. However after we had done our titles on Adobe Photoshop we had imported them onto Adobe premiere pro and we had made the titles to flicker and this made our opening sequence very affective. The storyboard we did at the start during our planning and research helped us put our opening sequence together.
