QUESTION 6 EVALUATION

QUESTION 6:

When creating and planning my opening sequence I used prezi; a way of presenting information as a presentation with many effects to make the viewer feel engaged. Slide rocket; a presentational device wich allows you to add slides with music, pictures and videos allowing you to change the layout and font. Scribd, a device that allows you to present information in an organised and neat way. Bubbl a software that allows you to mind map ideas and suggestions using bubbles. Screen cast, a way of presenting pictures and information in a visual way by grabbing pictures and presenting them with text. I have also videoed myself for a directors commentary to present my information in a visual way.

In the process of this, when planning on my blog and producing my opening sequence I learnt how to use the Apple Mac computers as they were brand new to me. I learnt the basics on how to use it and then developed my skills by the class sharing their knowledge. I also learnt how to use a Tri Pod and a Fig Rig when shooting my film to create steady and efficient shots. I have become familiar with using this technology and have gained skills on how to use different Apple applications such as; Live type, Final cut and fire fox.

When creating my titles post I have used IMovie which has allowed me to create something very creative and successful as I have been able to add videos, different fonts, music, sound and effects to present my findings and information. Slide rocket has allowed me to present information that I have collected with pictures effectively. I would personally say that when using the Fig Rig it needs a carefully thought process and planning to be made before hand due to knowing which shots it will be used for and which shots would be best suited for it. When adding in the music for my opening sequence I had to make sure it was perfect and fitted well in with the pace of the shots. I had to re-do the music several times and change it frequently to make sure that it looked in sync with the rest of the piece.
