Evaluation question 4

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

The technology that we have learnt most about in this product is final cut pro. This is because we were expecting the programme to be standard but as we kept on suing it we realised the amount of features that was available on this piece of technology. For example there is a lot of custom edit choices available like editing decisions also it can get you into full detail on exactly where you want to cut a piece of a clip. This was not available on other technologies which made final cut pro stand our for us. This piece of technology really enhanced our work because it gave a lot of features that we needed. The filters really gave the edge to our film because the genre was crime and being able to put fast paced editing and eccentric filters helped achieve giving the edge and get memorable introduction. From the filters we learnt that you have so many options available you can use any that can fit into any genre and it widens your view for the future on what you can film and how much technology has developed.

The main reasons why we liked Final cut pro is listed below:

-Transitions
-Advanced clip editing and cutting
-Effects
-Title cards and fonts

The other technology that we have used is Blogger. This is a blogging method created by Google which helped us post our information, data, research, film and evaluation onto. This was really useful for us because the side tabs made looking at posts really easy to do along with the tags made it easier to find a certain post. We also learnt something from Blogger which is that you can embed different media files which was useful.

For presentation purposes we used Emaze and Microsoft Powerpoint. From Emaze we have learnt that there are many different software options available to use for presentations. Emaze was particularly good because you can embed the powerpoint onto the blog easily which saved time. Powerpoint was used for all of our action plans. This was because it was easy to make and we wanted to sue Emaze for big presentations because it had better themes and transitions.

We also used a programme called Bubbl, which helped our mind map presentations. This was really useful to help present our thoughts and the decisions we made.

Youtube was used for uploading our drafts and videos onto our blog and for private viewing. Final cut pro offered a direct link to Youtube when you have edited videos on there which made it simple and easy to upload and access. One thing we learnt from Youtube that was frustrating was that if we wanted a song to download and use for our product then we would have to contact the studio each time which became frustrating.
