Q6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?




Whilst using the technologies that we had, I have learnt how effective framing is but it would've looked better if the two characters were positioned exactly on the left/ right side of the frame and whether there was equal background space above their heads. To do this we could've had the grid view on the camera. In my opinion, I liked how our group worked together because everyone in my group had different strong points; therefore we were able to work efficiently and productively. For example, Connie drew the storyboards and this helped a lot because when we followed it we stuck to the camera shots that we decided. During the filming process, we had different perspectives as to what looked right and this was good because we could compare and contrast these ideas which could improve on the framing. 

Because editing is one of my strong points, I was entitled to work on the dialogue scene. It was easy and long to do, however, if it weren't for my group I may have missed out bits where I could improve. For example, because we had trouble recording the audio due to the wind noise in the background, we filmed on one camera and recorded the audio during the dialogue scene, it was difficult for me to time it right and sometimes it looked wrong but my group helped. We all did a fair amount of editing, for example, Harry did most of the titling and Connie and Eddy worked on the first scene and the main title and the last shot of the couple walking. 

Here's a list of websites and tools I have used:

www.photojointer.net - To make screenshot collages
Paint - To crop and adjust the pixel size of each image
www.imdb.com - For movie research
www.prezi.com/ www.slideshare.net - To present research/ ideas
Audacity and www.soundcloud.com - To record and post
www.makeagif.com - For making gifs that relates to our final piece
www.youtube.com - To upload videos like our draft/ final and things that linked with the research I have found
www.surveymonkey.co.uk - To gather feedback and evaluation
Windows movie maker/ Final cut pro - Two forms of editing software

  1. You provide good coverage of the hardware and web 2.0 technology used, but in terms of what you learned, you mainly leave this open for interpretation.
