Evaluation Activity 4 - How did you use new technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Youtube

YouTube has been very helpful for us when we were needing to research other trailers. It has the vast majority of all films which has enabled to gather the information needed. The problems we encounted with the software was that at school it was very slow and time consuming. This may not be YouTube's fault but in fact the school connection. Overall we were happy while using this software.


Camera and Tripod









The camera and tripod have been very useful. The video camera has allowed us to film in a high degree of quality to make our teaser trailer look more realistic and authentic. The tripod allowed us to film still images which improved the different shots in our teaser trailer. We also used a microphone to help intensify our sound and therefore improve the diagetic sound especially. The only problem we had with the tripod was that when we went out filming one time it was in fact broken so we found it difficult to film fixed shots.


Blogger







Blogger has allowed us to record all of our work this year including our planning and research, teaser trailer, ancillery tasks and our evaluation. It makes it clear and easy to access. It is also very simple to use. Blogger has helped us gather all our research and then therefore we have been able to put this into our trailer, magazine and film poster. The positives for using blogger must be that it is very easy to find the research we have found and made. Some problems that we have come across while using are that is very easy to forgot to post things you have learnt and found out. Also from time to time it doesn't necessary work at home.
