Technology Where Why? Successful/Unsuccessful

connotes realism (an unhappy life).
Panasonic Throughout the To film all shots that we needed I felt the Panasonic camera was successful,
Camcorder production stage as I and my partner knew all the tools on the
camera, and it was easy to operate,
compared to if we had chosen to use the HD
camera, as the HD camera had buttons and
functions on it that we weren’t very familiar
with, so this would have been very time
consuming.
Tripod Throughout the To film shots that had to be steady, I felt that at times the tripod was successful
Production Stage a shot that included a camera when we wanted to achieve shots that had

could increase or decrease the length of the
legs on the tripod, however the tripod was
unsuccessful when we had to denote shaky
shots, for these shots we just held the
camera and filmed, connoting British Social
Realism.

to the sound recorded from the microphone,
I and my partner found it very fuzzy and hard
to hear the ambient sound so we just
recorded the sound normally without a
microphone. Using the microphone was time
consuming, difficult to use and the sound
didn’t record very well.
I Movie We used I movie at We imported all our footage that I felt that using I movie was successful, as I

Technology Used Where
Flip Cam I used a flipcam to record
audience feedback for our
draft opening sequence
I Mac I imported the film footage
onto the I Mac, and used
the editing software on the
I Mac
I Movie We used I movie to edit
our opening sequence
Fireworks We used Fireworks to
create our Production Logo
Blogger Throughout the Project
Voice recorder To record the voiceovers
and Foley sound
Free Play music To import music in our
opening sequence
Post-Production
Why?
We used a flipcam because it is
easy to use and import footage on
the computer
The I Mac had the usb port for the
camera, and the specific editing
software that we needed to use
was on the I Mac’s
We used I movie to edit our
opening sequence
We used fireworks as we didn’t
want a moving image but static.
To present my work
I used the voice recorder to record
all the voiceovers in the opening
sequence and the Foley sound of
the opening and closing of the door
As in the brief it states that the
music used in the opening
sequence has to be copyright free,
we downloaded a piece of music
which is best suited for the themes
Successful/Unsuccessful
I felt this was successful because the
flipcam is small so we could stand it
in between two I Macs, filming the
whole class’s feedback. It is very
easy to use and import footage from
it onto the I Mac.
I feel the I Mac was easy to use as I
had used it before during GCSE,
making it a quick and easy process.
I feel that using I Movie was very
successful as I was familiar with the
tools, as I had used I Movie to edit
my trailer in GCSE and edit my
Continuity exercise.
I thought that using fireworks was
successful as all the tools were
simple and self explanatory, making
the production of our logo quick and
easy.
I feel that using the blogger was
successful because it was very easy
to use and the layout of the text and
titles is very clear.
I felt that voice recorder was
successful because it was very easy
to use and import the footage onto i
movie to edit.
I felt that the site Free play music
was easy to navigate around, as it
had drop down boxes and
descriptions of each piece of music
however I thought the layout was a
and storyline of our opening bit confusing.
