What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
All of the Software that we have Used
All of the Hardware that we have Used
Adobe Photoshop
We used Adobe Photoshop to create
our film poster.
Photoshop worked really well and had
some specialist tools to use.
We inputted the text and photos.
We made the house black and white and
faded it slightly.
We learnt how to use many different effects and apply them to the
film poster.
SlideShare
This allows you to upload PowerPoints to
the internet.
It also took a long time to log in causing many
problems.
The website had glitches that
became irritating.
We used this to upload our titles timeline.
We had to create an account and we learnt how to upload a
PowerPoint and how we can share it across many other
services.
Adobe Fireworks
We used fireworks to edit all of our
pictures.
We edited the photo shown on Megan's phone showing no
contacts to be clearer.
We created text to go onto the poster.
I found it really easy to use and had some really good effects.
We used it to crop around Megan for
the poster.
We learnt how to edit the pictures. We managed to use
tools which allowed us to remove the background and enhance the picture quality.
Survey Monkey
We used is to receive feedback of our final draft We received
responses back through the
website.
The survey did take a long time to load up some people could
get bored.
We sent out the email to everyone
who took media and some other friends.
We learnt how to send out a survey and manage the reply's that we
received.
Blogger
This is how we will show all of our
work.You can upload
text, videos, PowerPoint's,
Prezi’s and photos.
It works really well and very rarely
crashes.
It is an online timeline of
everything you post.
We learnt many things when using this software.
We learnt how to post onto the site and that we can
post no just text but pictures and videos as well.
Prezi
We used them to pitch our films to each other and our main film pitch. Can be embedded into
Blogger.
It had some few problems when using it. It kept on crashing at some points.
You create them online so can be accessed from
anywhere.
We learnt how to use Prezi as non of us had used it
before. We learnt how to save the presentation and
that we could embed it into Blogger.
YouTubeWe can view other schools projects for
ideas.
We uploaded our videos then
embedded them to Blogger.
We set up an account to make us able to upload and
share.
Videos can be uploaded and
shared.
We can show off our production by
sharing the link.
We had all used YouTube before but we did learn how to add annotations
and labels onto the video.
Adobe Premiere
Premiere is an editing software.
We made a small music video to help us learn how to use the
software.
We also used it to edit our prelim task.
It was very professional software and worked well. Had no problems with the
software.
We used this to edit our first draft, final draft and any other videos we created.
We had never used Premiere before so we learnt a lot from using it. We learnt how to put many different effects and
transitions on the video and how to add text and slow down or speed things up.
We also learnt how to add different layers and have more that one clip
showing at once.
Audacity
Audacity is a free software that lets
you edit and record sound.
We used this software on our
storyboard video.
Worked really well and did not crash. It was very simplistic
and easy to use.
We used this to do voiceovers on our
work.
We had used Audacity at G.C.S.E ICT so we was
fermilliar with the layout and what we
could do with the clips.
Camera
We used this camera to film our opening.
It can also take still images. We used this camera to take all of
the pictures.
This is a Sony AVCHD Camcorder
We found it really easy to use and gave a
steady shot.
The camera was basic but as we had never really used a
camera before it was new for all of us but we picked it up
quickly. We also found a feature that let us play back what we had just recorded.
Tripod
The tripod was easy to attach to the
camera.
We found this really easy to use which makes it a
good product and a good piece of equipment to
use.
We found out that if you lifted one of the legs you could get a
really steady pan shot.
It was really useful for when we had to put the
camera in a small spot so we could get a very still
shot.
USB Stick
We used this USB stick to transfer our work.
We could also bring in anything that we have
found or made at home.
As the three of us were working on different
computers, some files could be too big to send so
we would transfer them.
Computer
This was the computer we used to do all of our
editing.
This computer has specialist software on it
like Adobe Premiere and Photoshop.
We edited our first draft, final draft, poster and all of our pictures
on here.
It is a Dell computer with an inter i5
processor.
We also uploaded everything to Blogger
and YouTube from here.
These computers are found all over the
school so we had all used them before
making it easier for us to find our files.
Green Screen
This made it a lot easier to edit and
saved us a lot of time.
We then imported the picture into Photoshop to
get rid of most of the green then put it into fireworks to
remove the rest by hand.
We used a green screen for our
poster.
We took a picture of Megan against the green screen so we
could edit behind her.
This was the first time we had used a green
screen so when it came to editing it was a little tricky tying to find out
what to do.
Mobile Phone
We used this phone for many
things.
We used it to be Maddie’s phone in the film opening.
As this is Megan's iPhone 5, she knew how to use it and it
saved us a lot of time when email
across photos.
We also used it to take photos and email them to ourselves so we can
then upload them.
Headphones
We used these headphone in every lesson.
We used these when editing so we can
block out the sound around us.
We also used them to do voiceovers in
class.
Ben Flatt also used them a lot when he was searching for music for our film.
We had also used these headphones in other
subjects so we know how to set them up and how to
recorded from them.
