Leena Evaluation Q6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Throughout this project I have learnt a lot about iMovie. I have not used this programme previously, it was all very new to me. I thoroughly enjoyed it as I now have a better understanding of the processes involved in producing a media product, from filming, uploading, to editing and constructing clips.

Due to an accurate storyboard, and good time management, filming scenes was made easier as we knew exactly what we had to do and the type of shots we needed in order to construct a effective opening sequence.



We faced audio problems as we were not able to hear the caretaker's voice in the actual scene. We resolved this problem by re-recoding the caretakers voice. There were issues of non-continuity, as the weather was different from when we had filmed the previous clip. However, we resolved this problem by only recording the wind so we could have the same atmosphere to use in the actual clip if needed.

Throughout this project I have learnt a lot about the importance of continuity. When we first started filming it was a sunny day, and in order to keep the same atmosphere, we had to film on another sunny day. Due to careful planning and constantly checking weather reports, we were able to tackle continuity issues effectively.

However, we were weaker in some areas, as our victim, Mindy, kept pulling her sleeves up in different scenes which caused issues of non-continuity, unfortunately we did not see this until we had uploaded the clip onto the computer.
