Digital Technology

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
When making  our storyboard we used an iPhone to create the images used and used Adobe to edit them together which would in the end create a short film. We found a range of videos which showed how to do special effects make-up for a horror movie which is an effective way for the audience to be engaged in the film.

What software was used?

When editing our film we used a software called Adobe Premiere Elements 10  which is a software I wasn't familiar with as I have never used it before.

What equipment was used?

When making our film, we used a tripod, iPhone, a range of camera lenses, a small microphone which was clipped onto the character who was speaking which made the sound more clear and effective.

What were the technical pros and cons of the software and hardware?

Some problems with the software we had were that sometimes when we were watching the film to see what parts needed to be edited it would freeze which caused us to miss certain parts which we had to keep rewinding and rendering the film to make sure we didn't lose the footage.


In what ways was technology used to create the production?

The technology used to make our production was an iPhone and a computer. The iPhone was used to film our footage and the computer was used to edit our footage. Without the technology we wouldn't have been able to film our footage


In what ways did the technology constrain or enable the production to be developed?

We were able to make our film better by cutting footage out which we didn't need and where our genre of film is a horror special effects were added to the footage. The problems we had with Adobe was that it would freeze quite often which meant we were unable to continue editing.
