Evaluation part two

How didyou use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and

evaluation stages?

Media technologies have been vital for us, of course; without them we could not have

produced our film. The technologies we used in the construction of our product included the camera, obviously, editing software, a virtual storyboard and a photo editing software. These were used to create and hone the products, and to polish them off to the best of our extent.

Whilst researching, the main technology we used was the internet on the school

computers and our laptops. This enabled us to look up funny stories from around the world and diversify our influences.

Once again in the planning stages the main technology used was computers. We used a virtual storyboard for planning camera angles, shots and the like. We

wrote up a script on Microsoft word, and had a general outline of what we hoped to achieve on that same software. It was also used for writing a synopsis.

In the evaluation stage, once again the main technology used was the computer. I am writing this in Microsoft word, all the stuff on our blogs was obviously uploaded using a computer. We also used a projector to show groups of people our film.

Overall, technology has been very important for us; without it we could not have

produced our film at all, let alone got it to a standard that we believe to be

our best. We did not use all the technology available to us though; we chose not to use a green screen in our film, as this was unnecessary; we feel we would just be using it for the point

of it, and this would cheapen our film.

We also chose the same fate for an ultra-slow motion camera; we decided

that, for our purposes, regular slow motion done on a computer would be more

than adequate.
