PART 7 – What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Before making our title sequence, we decided that we would use iMovie to edit our film together. We were all familiar with the basics, so felt it would be a good starting point. We decided to use Photoshop for making the titles and our production logo, as it is a programme, which is relatively easy to use if you know how. We also decided that to make our music for our title sequence, we would use Garage band, as Megan was familiar with it, owning a Mac herself. We decided to use Megan’s camera, as we thought it would be the easiest to actually work, as in previous circumstances we had difficulty/problems uploading from the school camcorder. During the production, we kept to the decisions we had made prior to filming. However, once we were half way through editing, we thought that it may have been better to edit on Final Cut Pro. There were some other groups using it, and it looked so much more advanced. They had so many more options open to them with Final Cut Pro, so we were only limited to the boundaries of what iMovie has to offer. Also, Megan made music on Garage band, but even after several rough copies we all didn’t like it. So in the end our music was found on a website, and was cut up in iMovie. We successfully used iMovie to the best of our ability, and we used Photoshop well. Garage band was used well, which was the newest technology. Although the final product wasn’t liked, it was still successful. When we were attempting to re-edit after feedback from our teacher, when we thought we had finished, we weren’t very successful. The feedback meant that we needed to change our font for our titles, and lengthen them. However, titles couldn’t simply be edited and the whole clips had to be reverted back to their original, and then re-edited. This was an extremely lengthy process, so we decided to just keep the titles how they were.
