Questions 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?


To answer this question I used prezzi  as it is a creative and interactive way to present my answer.

Question 6

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


I have learnt a lot over the period of time taken to produce the opening sequence.


I have learnt how to use a camera stand. I used this especially when we where filming our preliminary task. It was very useful, however during the filming of our opening sequence, I didn't use a stand very often due to the fact that we wanted a handheld camera effect with its unsteady nature.
How to accomplish certain shots was another thing I learned. I found how to tilt or where to hold the camera for certain shots. this was a learning process that meant that we had to film the same piece a few time from different places or angles to enable a wide variety to choose from when we where editing.


Editing together the piece was one of the harder things that I learnt. It took patience to select and cut down each individual take so that the sequence as a whole flowed well. I had to ask quite a few questions in order to accomplish certain things, such as the treatments to make takes seem older than they where. I also manipulated to lighting and contrast to create the effect wanted.


Learning how to do sound and how to build up a track was simple once we where told how. I enjoyed layering the sounds to sound realistic but also be able to put our own interpretations on the piece.


I enjoyed learning how to use the different pieces of technology and expand my knowledge of media processes.

Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?


for this question I created a mood board of sorts to demonstrate the type of audience reactions that we aimed for, as well as the ages of the audience. the mood board is on the link below.
