(Evaluation 6)

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

In this image above it shows you what equipment we used to film the film and programs that we used to edit and upload the film.

Editing program and techniques

To edit our film we used a program called Adobe Premiere Elements 10, we decided to use this program because we found it easy to use and work with. On the program we used editing techniques like cutting, fading in, fading out, transitions and special effects. For example at 5 seconds into the film we used an editing technique called a transition which allowed us to change the original colour of the image and have it fade into another colour, we decide to use this editing technique because it made the production company look professional and effective to the audience. We also used fade ins/outs and the cutting tools through out the remainder of the film to make the scenes run more smooths with out having any large cuts from scene to scene. For example we used the fade in and out tool at 45 seconds into the film, we decide to use it hear because it linked the two scenes together with out making it look messy and unprofessional. We also used a special effect on our production company at 0 seconds, we decided to make it glow around the text which made it standout and look more appealing.

Equipment

To film our opening two minuets we used a camera that we obtained from our school and also a tripod. We used the tripod to make the camera more stable instead of holding it with our hands because it will reduce the sway of the camera. We didn't re-record any sounds to make them more audible, instead we decided to source sounds from a website.

Programs

We used programs called Adobe Premiere Elements 10, YouTube and Blogger. We used Adobe Premiere Elements 10 to put together the clips that we recorded and to edit the scenes together, this helped us put together and build our film. We also used YouTube during the making of the film because any video's that we made we uploaded it to the platform for people to see. The last program we used was Blogger, we frequently used Blogger because we needed to post any work that we did to the site, this meant people were able to follow what we were doing when we updated our blog.
