Evaluation activity 6

Nikon 700D: This is the camera

that I was luckily enough to use in
order to film my artefact for my
coursework. It was a risk, because
it
was such an expensive camera
which did not belong to me, however by using I had
been able to teach myself how to utilise this device.

Tri pod: Throughout the course of

this coursework, I have come to
learn that the tri-pod is on of the
most important piece of equipment
as it will support the camera, which
will allow us to take steady shots
and make it look professional.
Without it, it would have been
extremely difficult to pull out a top
quality video without it looking unprofessional. We were
taught how to use it from GCSE, so using the tri pod
was not difficult.

Blogger: Blogger is a network site,

created by google and it was
extremely helpful to fellow students,
and me as it allowed us to publish all
of our coursework onto our group
blogs and also our individual blogs.
When we had first started to use
blogger I did not understand the
mechanics behind as it was difficult for me and many
students as it was new for everyone, but as I started to
use it much more it became much easier and simpler to
use.

Microsoft Word: Majority of our work

was produced by using Microsoft
Word. This was mainly used due to
the fact that everyone has definitely
used this programme at some point
or maybe come across it. It is very
well known programme that allows
you to type any information on
blank paper.
Although, I did come across a flaw in Microsoft word
which is that I was not able to upload any of my
documents straight onto my blogger account.
Therefore, I had to find a programme which allowed me
to upload on blogger, which was Scribd.

Scribd: Scribd was a very

convenient programme as it
allowed me to upload my
documents onto their website
and then embed my work onto
a different programme such as blogger.
It was a very simple site to use and it was also free.

Mac Computer: During lessons,

we were given time to use the
Macs which will allow us to
complete our coursework on.
This was a difficult device,
especially for me since I usually
use a Windows computer. After a
week or so, I am now
comfortable when using the
Macs as it was a much better device than most other
devices.

Photoshop: The only time when

we had used this programme
was for when we had to
complete the storyboard as well
as the production logo. This
programme was not too difficult
to use as a few of us had used
Photoshop during GCSE.

PowerPoint: PowerPoint was a

programme which should be familiar
with everyone, just like Microsoft
Word. I had used PowerPoint for the
meeting notes, this programmes is
free to use which is one of the
reasons I had used PowerPoint.
