Media Evaluation - Part 7

Part 7 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of contructing this product?

Main technology used:
Macs - Final Cut Pro, iMovie and Garage Band
Hand held camera

Starting Point...
To start the making of our title sequence we all decided that starting with ‘iMovie’ on the Mac computers would be the best program to begin editing as we were all used to using the program in media production and editing in the past.

Development...
As we continued with our title sequence we decided to use ‘Photoshop Elements’ for our typography creations and changes as we were all quite experienced with the editing program. One of the members in our group was also familiar with ‘Garage Band’, a music creation program found on the Mac computers. Due to this, she decided to try making the soundtrack on the Mac. The camera in which we used was quite easy as there were no problems in uploaded to the computer when we were at school starting to edit. I was the person filming all of the footage in the title sequence due to be having a good knowledge in camera shots and working the camera.

Towards the end...
As we moved to the half way point of editing we decided to transfer our title sequence to ‘Final Cut Pro’, on the Mac computers. We decided to do this as we felt we would be able to do more on the program with editing and sound as there were only limited amounts of techniques you could use on ‘iMovie’; also we felt ‘Final cut pro’ was more advanced for editing.

What have I learnt?
During the making of this title sequence I feel that I learnt to use ‘Final Cut Pro’ as a program to edit videos and sound. I also learnt a lot about feel to create sounds and music on Garage Band.
