Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

In the production of my film I used a range of different technologies to help create my final outcome. CameraWhen films had just started being produced technology wasn’t as developed as the present day. The first motion picture camera was invented by Louis Le Prince in the 1880s, while working in Leeds, England. Although the camera was capable of 'capturing' motion, it was not a complete success because each lens photographed the subject from a slightly different viewpoint, with the result that foreground elements in the projected scene wove about relative to each other and to the background.

The canon 700d

When filming my film the camera that I had access to was the canon 700D. This camera is brilliant for beginning film making, it is easy to use so first time users will have no problem finding out how to use it. You can capture every detail with an 18-megapixel Hybrid CMOS AF sensor. The EOS 700D produces low-noise images that can be printed at large sizes or cropped for alternative compositions. This means that as well as being easy to use it also shoots in high quality making it easy to make high quality films.

PhotoshopPhotoshop was founded in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, it has become the go to industry standard in graphics editing. For my film I used Photoshop to create a logo for my film company Goodall films. Using Photoshop is easy once the user gets used to how the tools work and where you can locate the tools you need to edit. Creating my logo was very straight forward I used Photoshop to position the text of my logo on top of a black background to create a very simple but effective logo. When using Photoshop you can use layers and you can edit one layer without effecting the others, you can work on layers separately or together which makes editing a lot easier as well as the access to tools that allow you to

crop, morph, change the colour of and make photos 3D as a start. As well as tools there are also effects that can add to your photo to make it better.

Premiere ProAdobe premiere pro is a timeline-based video editing software used by broadcasters such as the BBC and CNN. It has been used to edit feature films, such as Gone Girl, Captain Abu Raed, and Monsters. I used premiere pro to edit my finished media film opening. Using premiere pro is relatively easy even for beginners; I use this programme because I know how to use it better than other editing software’s which makes the editing process a lot easier.

PreziPrezi is cloud-based presentation software based on software as a service model. The product employs a zooming user interface, which allows users to zoom in and out of their presentation media, and allows users to display and navigate through information within a 2.5D. Prezi was officially established in April 2009 by co-founders Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy and Peter Arvai. I used Prezi to complete question 1 of my evaluation, using Prezi is straightforward and it looks a lot more professional compared to other presentation software’s.

SlideshareSlideshare is a Web 2.0 based slide hosting service. Users can upload files privately or publicly in the following file formats: PowerPoint, PDF, and Keynote or OpenDocument presentations. Slide decks can then be viewed on the site itself, on hand held devices or embedded on other sites. When I use Slideshare I use it to upload word documents and PowerPoints so that I can copy the embedded code in order to post that document onto blogger without having to write onto a black blog post.

BloggerBlogger is a blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003.  Blogs can also be hosted in the registered custom domain of the blogger. A user can have up to 100 blogs per account. I use blogger to post all of my media studies coursework on so that it is all in one place when being marked and so that it is easy to mark for the assessor.
