EVALUATION QUESTION 6

Q6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Ans: During the process of masking my film I came across many software’s and technology which I wasn’t aware of before.  First the equipment were introduced to us in which a tripod was a new thing that I discovered. Most of the help I got was from youtube which helped me with their tutorials on how to use these software’s.

The tripod was a major help in my film even though I have used many point of views, it bought a very stable look to the film and it wasn’t shacking the way it shacks in a hand held. Apart from this was our cannon video camera which has a high resolution and a built in slot for microphone so the voice can be recorded clearly on the spot.

The software’s that I came across during editing were adobe premier 6.5. I learned a lot in premiere hoe to do color correction, put transitions, increase the output of audio and effects that can be put in the video. We were given proper classes before editing started where we were taught how to use these software’s and later I practiced on it by experimenting with normal videos.  

 

I had to put premier 6.5 in my laptop due to its 1 GB ram however even after this the editing was done smoothly as I did not have to use any after effects. All the functions are basic and easy to understand.  Another software was audacity where I recorded the voice over’s for my film.Audacity helped me in mix my audio and record my voice over’s

 

I used xillisoft video convertor to convert my rushes to DV.

 

 

The software Fruity Loops Studio was used in the making of my films background score. Although I did not learn much about this software as the background score is done by Arif in my film.

Apart from this we had to maintain a blog of all the activities that we do in our media class everyday and all the research, pre-production and post production work has been posted on the blog. There has been a consistent growth in my work as every level has taught me something new and it all collaboratively has helped my put my product near to perfection.

I posted my film on facebook to get remarks from the audience. I made a separate facebook page:

I even posted it on twitter to attract more audience.
