How did you use new media technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation stages?
Research and
planning
For our research we created a blog on Blogger to store all
of our information and posts on it. By doing this we were able to save all of
our work in one place so it was easy to access.
We looked for similar films to our on websites such as IMDB
and Wikipedia. This gave us several ideas of what genre we were going to go
for. A film we looked at in particular was Jacobs Ladder, which is a
psychological horror film about a solider. We liked the look of the “head
shake” effect which the filmed used and so by using YouTube we watched and
learned how to do the effect.
One shot we could not use was the Jaws zoom in dolly out
shot. We could not use this shot because we couldn’t get the shot steady enough
to do.
Construction
In the construction stage we used new Digital cameras to
record our film in HD. This allowed our footage to be in better quality for
when it went on to the computer. These cameras enabled us to record our footage
and import it on to the editing equipment. We imported it on the computer by
using a fire wire. We then edited our project. The editing equipment we used
allowed us to use several special effects such as fades and to be able to speed
up our scene so we can use the Jacobs Ladder head shake effect.
We also used the same editing equipment to edit our radio
trailer after we recorded it on a digital sound recorder. This enabled us to
create our radio trailer. We then used sounds from our film and imported them
onto our radio trailer by using a memory stick. We then edited it.
