Sams Evaluation Q6

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

In my research for my opening sequence I used several websites to gather information about certain films such as:
· Google Search engine
· Wikipedia.com
· IMDb.com
· Youtube.com

These technologies helped me to find out information about several films I felt would be useful to us, such as the type of film, its storyline, genre, box office figures and which companies produced and distributed it. I could also get images and clips to add to my blog from using technologies such as these. Using the Internet in this way helped me a lot in my research, as it is quick and easy to find the information you want.
When planning my product I used:
· Camera

The creation of our product was when we used many technologies:
· Video Camera
· IMovie: Effects:
o Wipe in/wipe out
o Ghost trail
o Black and White
o Fade in/fade out
o Brightness increase
· Itunes
· Blogger
· Mac

These are the technologies we used when producing our final opening sequence. I feel that with the use if all of these programmes and websites we were able to successfully make our film the way we wanted it to be. When producing our opening sequence I feel we were able to do all of the things we wanted to do, especially in the programme we used to edit our filming, Imovie.
When gathering the feedback for our film, as well as completing the evaluation, I used many websites and technologies which helped me achieve this such as:
· Facebook
· Blogger
· Slideshare
· Video camera

All of these websites helped me complete my feedback and evaluation. After producing our film I sent some of my friends a questionnaire via Facebook, this was an easy and quick way to gather information and feedback about our film. We also used a video camera to film peoples responses to our opening sequence. In my evaluation I used the website Slideshare which helped me imbed several answers as a Powerpoint into my Blog.
