HOW DID YOU USE MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH, PLANNING AND EVALUATION STAGES?
Over time camera development has been a big part of a movement in modern day society. Luckily we have been offered to used some of the most updated technologies of the century, such as full HD camera's and memory cards, giving us the opertunity to create professional looking videos that reflects our ideas almost as art, letting people see through our own eyes, and giving them a controlled peek at our ideas. Using memory cards has made our life a lot simpler, having all footage in one place and being able to erase footage right after filming, having a look through them on the spot and knowing weather you need to re-shoot or if your work is best quality. The use of camera and memory cards was a big part of our production, however even through planning we used flipcams, or my Pentax DSLR to capture images and record evidence of our work and put it up on the internet (blogger) to be able to keep track of what we're doing and keep everything flowing up to date. The internet also came in handy when researching ideas, trying to widen our knowledge on the subject. Programs like Youtube, was were we found inspirational videos, google search for general research of theories and wider reading, all of these things were a good start for our planning so that we had a bigger perspective on what we can find out there, the likes of current audiences and a variety of styles and genres that could potentially be of use and could later be reflected upon in the evaluation and how all this research came in as inspiration.
Here are a few videos that I have prepared to show how some programmes work and what we used as a team to work on our main project - video, and ancillary products.
This first video is an introduction to Final Cut Pro, which was a major part of our editing to create our video and also before that we had used it to create a digital storyboard, just a series of images that consisted of our prior locations and an angle for where about our main subject will be to become the main focus:
When filming our video we also wanted to experiment with a different section of final cut pro and try to understand how to use a green screen. This we were going to use for filming the bird, and her release however we failed to get the shot not including shadows as we used a portable green screen and it didn't work to the effect that we had hoped. However it was an experience non the less.
The next video that I have created is to demonstrate the use of iPhoto, that I used to edit the image before uploading it to Photoshop to add to the ancillary package design. Also in this video I show the use of Photoshop and what sections of it I had used to make my ancillary products like the digipak and advertisement.
Furthermore, I have created another screen cast, voice-over to demonstrate my use of the various programmes on the mac, hope you enjoy it:
