Evaluation

How did you use media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

In constructing our product we used many different media technologies. For example we used a camera for capturing our footage, and Final Cut Pro to log, capture and edit our raw footage in order to create a fitting sequence and narrative for our chosen audio track.
During filming we used the greenscreen to record part of our creative idea. This is difficult to do as you need to ensure the person whom you are recording is not standing too close to the greenscreen as it would create a shadow and/or a green ‘fuzz’ around them when you transfer it to the Apple Mac’s during editing. Once we uploaded the footage onto the editing software, we applied an appropriate graffiti background to the section and animated text.
Throughout the blog we have used such technologies as camera recording and video streaming. We also uploaded pictures of our location and characters. We also used a microphone when recording some audience feedback to upload onto the blog. In gaining additional audience feedback we used the internet, such sites as ‘facebook’ and ‘youtube’ as these were readily accessible to us, and also allowed us to receive feedback from our target audience. This allowed us an outside opinion so that we could adjust or improve anything we needed to.
