EvaluationQ6.

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

In lesson we looked at flip cameras and Cannon camera, However the media technology that we used first, was my Nikon camera which i got for my birthday. We decided to use my camera so we wouldn't have to go through the trouble of getting one from the school that we would need to return, instead we just used mine as at the end of our shooting, i can take it home. I was excited to start to film as we needed to start so that we can finish and edit on time for the deadline. The first thing we did was go to and empty meeting room at school to film the Doctors bit where he is writing in his notebook. We used the camera at Megan's house to film all of the inside bits. Then the next day since we needed another day to film, we did all of the outside bits of the Doctor and the girl (Maria) walking. With my camera i also bought a mini tripod which is quite small but it can hold up the camera so that it is steady when we film. On the second day i transferred all of our footage onto Lucy's computer when we went to her house.

The second media technology that we used was the Mac computers. The Mac computers are a high technology computer that can make beats of a song which i thought was very interesting. We used Final Cut Pro elements on the Mac's to actually make our title sequence which we included the black and white effect and all of the transitions that we used. We used Logic Pro elements to make our voice over, we had one snippet from Christian being the Doctor and the other snippet of myself being Maria's voice. The last thing we used on the Mac's was Photoshop elements which i was in charge for making the title text for the title sequence as i was a bit familiar with the program.


We used the internet to look up what title goes after what title which was Megan's job. I looked on 'dafont' for the font of the text. We did our research about Thriller title sequences in the internet. 

Overall i think i have learned a lot about technologies during making this title sequence. My group overall agreed on most thing but on some things like figuring out who should do what regarding the technologies took some time sorting out. I feel like if i was to do a title sequence again i would be able to do it more successfully using more professional technologies.
