Evaluation Activity 6

During the production of our film, my partner and I learned how to use many new pieces of technology, which include:

·         Garageband- which was a product that I had never used before, which we then used to create our music in our film. We took time in choosing the music making sure it fitted to the scenes and used fades in and out, making it run smoothers.

·         iMovie- we used mainly for out preliminary task, and it was my first time I found it fairly difficult but as I got used to it, it became a lot easier, we both experiment with affects and adding music.

·         Apple Macs- which we used throughout the whole course, preliminary, main movie and creating our blogs as we were going along.

·         Video camera- both my partner and I knew how to use a camera, the difficult thing was, knowing how to create the tension and which shots did this.

·         Camera- we used for casting and location shots.

·         Tripod- was used to keep the camera still, however we didn’t use it that much due to a lot of our film being hand held which fits to thriller genre.

·         BlogSpot- which is where all of our work has gone on to, after you get used to the fact of it and learn how to organise your work it is an easy more efficient way of producing work.

I now feel more confident using these technologies and enjoyed learning the new skills.
