What have you learnt about technologies from the

process of constructing this project?

What technologies did I use to construct my project?

• Blogger.• PowerPoint.• Slide Share.• Prezi.• You-Tube.• Final Cut Pro.• IMovie.• Tube Chop.• ITunes.• After effects.

Blogger.

• When conducting my research and planning for my film. I had to use a blog to present all of my coursework in a digital technology way. I learnt that it was a good way of keeping record of the dates you’ve done your work on and that you could use many other media applications onto blogger.

• For example: Tube Chop, YouTube, Slide Share and Prezi.

PowerPoint.

• When conducting my coursework I had to use PowerPoint to present my coursework in a media application rather that just writing loads of essays.

• While using PowerPoint I learnt that it was a neat and trendy and a more active way for people to view my coursework and you could make the link between images and slides more obvious than you would if you just used word all the time.

Slide Share.

• When conducting my coursework I used Slide Share in order to upload my PowerPoint's onto blogger.

• Before doing this coursework I wasn’t as confident using slide share but now I understand that you have to use an embed code in order to successful upload it onto your blog using HTML and then compose.

• It helped me to express my coursework more by using a PowerPoint then to upload it using Slide Share.

Prezi.

• When conducting my coursework I used a media application called Prezi in order to make my coursework more creative.

• I learnt that it’s an active way to present coursework as the screen moves from bubble to bubble.

• I also learnt that you could use different templates in order to achieve what you want it to look like.

• I also learnt that you can insert clips and images in order to give your coursework the visual feel.

• You can also add background music onto your coursework to make it more upbeat.

YouTube.

• When conducting my coursework I used YouTube in order to upload my Preliminary task and my final product.

• I learnt that while using YouTube you could upload it to other media applications like Blogger by using an embed code.

Final Cut Pro.

• When conducting my coursework I used a software called Final Cut Pro. It allowed me to change the direction of my footage around as I was not happy with it and it allowed me to zoom on certain clips.

• While using this software I learnt how to render an animation in order for it to go onto different applications like IMovie for my film.

IMovie.• IMovie was the major software used when it

came to conducting my coursework. It allowed me to make a finished film from just scraps of footage.

• While using IMovie I learnt a lot about exporting files into different formats and how to cut footage and change audio wavelengths from voice overs and a backing track and how to split footage in half but cutting at the play head.

Tube Chop.

• Before I started my coursework I had no idea that Tube Chop existed. I found that it was a very clever and easy way to help explain sound effects in essays so that the person reading that essay will be able to understand what you mean.

• I learnt that you get the URL from the clip in YouTube and convert it to tube chop then you can use the embed code to upload it to blogger.

ITunes.

• While conducting my coursework I used ITunes to help store my background music on so that I knew it was safe.

• I learnt that from ITunes you can transfer and MP3 file onto IMovie in order for it to be put in the background of my film.

After Effects.

• While conducting my coursework I used a software called after effects in order to create my opening titles for my film which moved and had music to it.

• While using this I learnt how to make animations onto a computer and how to render that file to be able to put it into a film.

Conclusion.

• In conclusion I have learnt a lot about these technologies in order to have put them successfully in my film.
