Phoebe Hibbert evaluation: Question six

what have you learnt about technologies for the process of constructing this product?

Throughout the making of this product, i have had to learn how to use an imac computer. This was difficult at first as i generally use windows xp. We created our product on imovie. When first starting to use this program, i found it difficult as i had missed a day where our teacher had shown the class how to use it, but after practising with it for a short while, it became easy and straightforward. This proves how easy making a movie at home really is. During using imovie, i have learnt how to import film from the camera to the mac, cut clips, edit clips e.g. adding fades in and out, i have also learnt how to add audio onto the audio lines, which are for music, voice overs and extra sound effects. The imac allowing to audio lines proved very helfull as there was a point when filming that a piece of dialogue from the 'caretaker' wasnt clear, as he weather wasnt the same, we couldn't re-shoot, so we had to re-record the lines spoken outside with the camera and upload it onto the second of the 2 audiolines.Imovie offers several titles for credits, with many different fonts, so when chosing a font for our credits we had a large variety. when picking the type of credits for anatomy we chose, bold red cappital letters that appeared in the centre of the screen. We wanted to keep it simple, so it looked more proffessional as a thriller, also by having the titles appear on the centre of the screen for each allowed the credits and the music to blend very well. The reason for the bold red capitals, was because we thought it appropriate for a thriller, especially ours in perticular as we show blood in ours and red normally symbolises this.
