Evaluation_Task_No.6: What_have_you_learnt_about_new_technologies_from_the_process_of_constructing_this_product?

Evaluation Task No.6:
I have learnt about varies new technologies for my AS production:

Hardware used:
During the production of our opening sequence, we used:

• Camera x2
• Tripod x2
• Umbrella (sound purposes)
• Red/flood light (lighting purposes)
• Microphone (audio purposes)
• Headphones

Software used:

Platforms:
-The online program/website Blogger allowed me to upload our research and  planning. It also allowed us to display our ideas in various ways. By presenting our work on a digital program, on a it meant I could keep track of my project’s progression, in terms of planning/pre-production, filming and evaluating my AS product. and receive constructive feedback from our teachers on the contents of a recently published post.

-YouTube was used to upload and showcase the video sections of our project for my AS products, so I could share my target audience feedback and research conclusions. It could have also been used to get the free music and any sound effect for my opening sequence. This was useful as the music I originally wanted too used for the opening was copyright, meaning I couldn't use it unless I had the artist permission, but lucky  the music from YouTube is non-copyright.

- But instead of YouTube, I used Ben-sounds, which is a independent website that published music that can be free to use by anyone, as long as who ever uses it in a production, credits them for it. Lucky I knew the creator of this website and was allowed to used his music for my opening scene.


Communication:
-To plan for my AS production I used social media website like "Facebook Messenger" was the primary location for our communication with the actors as we negotiated their involvement in the project in conjunction with their availability, which often depended on which days they could take off work or how much free time they had after school.





Post-Production:
-Adobe Premiere Pro was the central hub of our project’s editing, as essentially all of it was carried out in this program.  As the program is easy to use, it allowed me the re-arrange the footage captured and the combined audio tracks together, such as the non-diegetic sound until it was ready to be exported. Using premiere pro enabled me to add titles and still frames for my opening sequence, giving my production a more professional look to it. Making a bigger
improvement to my AS production than my Preliminary Task.
  
-Adobe Photoshop was mainly used as a tool for altering some of the aspects of our film, such as making the logo for our production company look more professional i.e. clearing up some of the inaccuracies, and to help create meaning within the logo, as the start background help connote to the audience the sense of wonder and lost my film could portray.
