James Eager 1372: Evaluation Question 4: TECHNOLOGY

RESEARCH

BLOGGER

Blogger is hosting all of my other new technologies at the research and planning stage. As a multi-media social networking tool it allowed me to collate, archive, display and create research and planning with images, videos, sound files and posts that I could share with my group. It hosted all my other presentational tools, from Emaze to Slideshare,Trello and Photoshop. My blog is where everything can be found an there everything is kept. Feedback left has helped me improve my work and get it to a better standard.

ONLINE MAGAZINES

I looked at a wide range of magazine covers to research and learn about what they would include so that I can transfer these skills when it comes to making my film poster. I have done analysis on different types of posters so that I can decompose them and use some of those ideas in my own magazine.

TWITTER

I have created 2 twitter accounts. One twitter account is for media use and my research whereas, the second twitter account is for the film trailer for my production company . Twitter is a very useful new technology platform as it help communicate with the rest of the world in a very fast and efficient way. You can also look for inspiration by looking at the your followings pages and get some ideas for your own project.

YOUTUBE
Youtube has enable me to research about the different trailers and give me an influence on how action trailers are portrayed. Since I was editing the film, seeing these ttrailers was able to help me understand how I should edit my film.

FACEBOOK

I was in charge of making the Facebook page for our film 'Risk' This would be used for our social media platforms where the audience can have easy access to see an inside to our film

INSTAGRAM

Our group has made an Instagram account were there are pictures from main title of the film to where we are on set filming. Each picture has its own cation and can be a very useful way of communicating with the audience and is also very good for the distribution of the film.

EMAZE

I have used Emaze to present many powerpoints which give more of an interaction with the audience as emaze gives a much better presentation with the templates they allow you to use. As seen in the image, I have used emaze mainly for my film trailer analysis.

POWERPOINT

I have used google slides powerpoint tool to do various work, such as my evaluation on question 2 and researching and analysing film trailers.

PREZI

I have used Prezi on making a film trailer analysis on the film Legend. This was good because it allows the reader to interact with the powerpoint and make it more creative and animated rather than a blank white power point.

PLANNING

iMessage

Our group has used iMessage to keep in touch when planning.

GOOGLE DOCS

This is a sophisticated and flexible tool that enabled us to work collaboratively on the same documents wherever we are and even on a mobile device. We used it extensively when creating the shot list, the call sheets and the script ideas, add photos of locations, plan the blocking of movements with photos to prompt our memories and keep our ideas looking professional and easy to access. Google doc. It is flexible because we could update it while still letting us create and share our work online and access our documents from anywhere.

TRELLO

I have used trello to keep organised and plan everything I need to do in the near future regarding my project and let me know what i have done and what i still need to do.

CONSTRUCTION

iPhone 7+

We used an iPhone 7+ for our filming because it records in 4K display which would be higher display than the other cameras which would make our film a better quality.

ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS

I have used after effects to edit our trailer
