Evaluation Question 4

How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

·       We integrated technologies such as software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, hardware such as our camera and online technologies such as Blogger.

      In terms of the software we used, Adobe Premiere Pro enabled us to edit the shots we took to create the opening sequence. We used different features, such as dip to black using the software to enable us to create our desired opening sequence. We realised that some of the shots which we took were not as good as we originally thought, so we decided to use the effects in order to keep the action flowing. The long moments of black create suspense while the action continues. We also used the technology to be able to create credits to close the opening sequence. In terms of the hardware we used, our small, lightweight camera enabled us to film shots on the move. This gave us a live effect, as if the audience are right behind. We also used a stand for the camera in certain locations, enabling us to be able to have focused shots.

In terms of the online technology that we used, Blogger gave us the ability to store our planning and research. This saved us having to create physical copies of the log sheets and also helped us to maintain a good level of organisation.
