EVALUATION - QUESTION SIX

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

From the start of creating and producing our media product, we used various different forms of technology to help produce an effective product. The main and first form of technology that we used was Blogger. The use of blogger allowed us to collectively upload our ideas, research and the things we had produced to help us keep it all together and build on our ideas. The internet browser Google helped us to research into the genre of Supernatural Horror and its iconology, shots, camera angles etc. It was very effective to use. 

The creation of the script for 'The Remembering' was created on a software app called 'Celtx'. I believe this was an effective and successful software app due to the format of the app being in a script style form which allowed us to create the best script possible to follow. 

As we came to filming the first two minutes of our media product we used a Canon 700D camera due to the resolution on the camera to be high quality and the functions of the camera to be easy to use and have it produce some remarkable shots that would express certain aspects of the film. For the news reports during the flashback to Piper's death, we used a VH1 recorder device to get a clear and effective monologue so the audience can understand what the news reporters are stating. After matching the sound up with the footage a radio voice effect was added to the recording to give it an eerie tone. 

     

After completing the filming of the footage we needed to create the first two minutes of the film, we edited the footage on a software app called 'Adobe Premier Pro'. The software app allowed us to edit the footage in various different ways such as trimming clips, editing sound and matching shots to create an effective piece of film sufficiently and accurately and give it an all round professional look and style.  

With the first two minutes finished, we uploaded it to the popular social media viewing app 'Youtube' as the film could be published to a widespread audience, and for anyone that was filling out our final questionnaire, they could access the film easily and hassle free.  

Our research and all of our ideas were placed upon Blogger throughout the entirety of the process to help us produce 'The Remembering' and allow us to look back and evaluate how successful our media product has become.
