Construction


              Q4.
How did you uses new technologies in
   the construction and research,
  Planning and evaluation stages?
Question 4
Adobe Premier
I have used this software many times during the production course by bringing
all the elements of certain products together. The main product being the five
minute documentary, and the Radio Advert, were constructed using this
software, as I think it has many useful ways of editing, to create a professional
piece of work. It is very good a picking at specific details such as sound, as you are
able to control whether you want the volume to be high or low. By using the
brackets in the sequence box, this allows basic cutting i.e. a certain question from
an interview. These brackets allow you to stop and start cutting where and when
you most need, and allows you get it by the second e.g. for our opening title we
cut out our hands placing down the sweets, so that you could only see the sweets
appearing. By being precise this gave the documentary a professional effect, I also
used these brackets to help me cut certain parts of songs into the music bed of the
documentary, it was most helpful as I could stop it at just the right place. It also
enables you to create text by pressing the ‘Ctrl’ button then ‘T’, as a small box will
appear and then you are able to use this for the graphics i.e. Names on the
interviewee’s. I thought it was very easy to use as there was a media browse box
on the left hand side, so I could search for the necessary footage needed. I have
enjoyed using this software as it I the best way of editing footage, and making it
look as professional as possible.
Question 4
Photoshop
This software was most useful when creating the Print Advert. The cut
tool was very effective as it allows you to cut around an image and then
the erase tool can go around the edges to give it a professional cut.
However with the final version of the Print Advert, we needed to cut out
the whole image, so we used the square cut out tool to make it much
easier. We also used the paint brush by zooming in and colouring around
certain parts of the models teeth. It can also change the opacity of the
colouring, so that you can still see a bit of the image underneath (This
gave the teeth a more decayed and disgusting effect). Cutting around the
channel four sign was probably the most hardest part as it had to be
precise and a clean cut, also finding the letters from other print adverts to
use on our own took a lot of time, and it was difficult to get them in the
same shape. Overall this software is a great way to design Pint Adverts, as
it has the necessary tools to give I a professional look. And by using these
new technologies, the products come together to create a coherent
package.
Ice Radio Studio

The ice radio studio in my school, is compacted
will brilliant technology. The equipment such
as the microphone and headset has made the
voice over and radio advert sound very
professional, as there is no noise in the
background, so the voice over came out loud
and clear.
HD video Camera, Tripod and SLR
           Camera.
In the construction and making of the production we used a HD video
camera, tripod, and SLR camera. By using this high definition new
technology, were able to capture professional footage. The tripod was
used to keep the camera still and steady when focusing on our
interviewee’s and was able to get still footage of the mise-en-scene. The
tripod was also used to create cut aways as it can be turned from side to
side and tilted up or down.. With out the tripod the camera work would
be unsteady and the footage would be blurred. The video camera was able
to capture creative moments and was well focused. And the SLR camera
was used to take good images for our print advert and some cut aways.
Microphones
There were to different microphones used, a camera mounted
microphone and a wired microphone. The wired microphone was plugged
into the camera, this ensured that all interviews were clear, and that there
is no background noise. The mounted microphone was used especially for
the Voxpops, as this stopped any background noise from interfering with
the individuals voices.
Xtranormal
Xtranormal is online software that allows you
turn you words into an animated movie. This
is have used a few times throughout my
course, and I have found it very easy to use. It
also allows you to choose different mise-en-
scenes, back ground music, type of voice,
characters, and different camera angles. I have
used this as it is a good way of representing
new technologies within my work.
