1. 1. Evaluation Question 5 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? By Stephanie, Rachel and Miatta Year 12 Media Studies
2. 2. What technology did you use to research/plan your product? The technology I used to research and plan my project was the internet which forms the broadcast network for example websites including: YouTube, IMBD, Film Institute Website, Wikipedia and the British Board of Film classification website. All of these media platforms helped me to develop my research skills into crafting my Media Main Task product.
3. 3. What technology did you use to produce(i.e. film) your project? (Why is HD better than normal digital? The technology I used to produce my project was Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Da Font, YouTube to source appropriate music and sound effects and a digital camera. HD is better than normal digital because it is higher quality, the density of the megapixels is greater and therefore greater clarity of the images and visuals is obtained for the benefit and experience of the audience.
4. 4. Why are advantages to using digital video instead of celluloid? The advantages of digital video over celluloid, there is less chance of deterioration of the images over time due to storage conditions. Easier to share between different platforms and devices i.e. DVD, Memory Sticks, External Hard Drives and Smart Phones, easier to upload to social media networks e.g. Facebook and YouTube. Digital technology leads itself to hyperlink for presentations and emails. Compression of digital files saves storage space on digital devices and platforms, digital technology is more effective to apply editing techniques and special effects i.e. CGI.
5. 5. What technology did you use in post- production (i.e. the editing)? Why is it easier than manual editing? In the editing stage of production I used Final Cut Pro which is a non-linear video editing software. The software allowed me to log and transfer my video onto a hard drive (internal and external), where it allowed me to edit, process, and output to YouTube and a wide variety of other formats. This digital technique is far easier and faster than manual editing techniques because the outcome looked more professional and appealing.
