Evaluation 6 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

When making our film, we used may different types of equipment and technology's to make our film the best that we can. For example, we used a tripod at some places because we needed to make it as sturdy as possible because we didn't want it too look bad quality if the person filming was shaking, and outside the window we used a selfie stick as we had no other way to get the shot from that angle and we thought that angle was very good and would look well when filming.


To film the opening two minutes, we used an IPhone to film. This has a 1080p HD video, this meant that it would be a better idea to use this because the quality would be much better than using a camera. We also thought this would be a good idea on the behalf that we know how to use iPhones more than we do camera's, therefore we would get better filming techniques when using the iPhone. We also used another iPhone to take the photos when filming to give evidence and use on your blog posts to show behind the scene filming.


YouTube was a big part of when filming, this is because we used that to upload the storyboard, feed back and the actual film. This is effective and a very quick way to be able to upload onto our blog posts without messing up and it is easy to watch when you want to have a quick glance. YouTube was very easy for us to learn how to upload and put onto our blogs to because it is used in everyday life.


When we came to editing the task, we used a software that none of us had ever used before which was called Adobe Premiere Elements 10. This took us a while to get used to and find out the different features but after Mr Thornton explained us all the main things we needed to know, in the end we played around with it for a while and then it came familiar every time we went on to do some more editing, it wasn't very hard to get used to. At some points we were having problems because it would keep freezing, or wouldn't upload the right one when we needed to and little things that took time from us that we didn't have to waste. But overall, It wasn't a bad software to work with and made our film look very effective and was good when we needed to use different transitions to make it look more like a horror film and using different texts to make it look creepy.
