Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
construction the product?
The strengths of the camera equipment is that the picture
quality was really good. When we saw the footage on the mac we were very happy
with the picture quality. The camera was very self explanatory, as was the
tripod. At first when I got the camera home I had to remember how to use the equipment
and I was a bit confused, however, I didn’t take to long to realize how to move
the camera around on the tripod and twist the handles to stop it from moving.
The only weakness was that I struggled trying to go in and out of focus, there
were a few times where I wanted to go out of focus but the only way to do it
was to move the camera but that just made the filming not look very good. In
the end I had to just film it normally.
We used the tripod whilst panning. This was quite nice because
it kept the camera nice and steady whilst I moved the camera around to follow
the character.
In terms of iMovie, I have learnt quite a lot. There were
two shots filmed in the same place that come one after the other. The colouring
in one shot was completely different to the colour in another shot. I had to
work out how to alter the colouring. Once I did, both of the shots looked
almost identical. There was also a shot that was filmed in the kitchen that was
a bit shaky. I used the steady cam button to make the shakiness go away. Before
I used it I dint think that it would actually work, however, once it was done
the difference was amazing.
I think that we worked quite well as a group, I think it
would have helped if we had both gone to do a bit more editing in or frees, but
I think that we communicated quite well with each other.
To log our coursework, we have been using Blogger. I find
this a really useful way of doing coursework as everything is in one place. I
found it really easy to use, it was a lot quicker to embed images than is I was
doing it on word as I only had to drag the images on to the page.
