Technology evaluation
For the research section of my project I used
several pieces of technology, iPad, I phone and the good old pc! The main parts
of research were done on a pc as it is a larger screen, easier to see things
that I may miss on a smaller screen such as a iPad or iPhone. I used quite a
few online presentation tools as well, Prezi is a great way that I used to show
my work rather than just posting straight onto blogger. The camera that I used
to film the music video was a DSLR CANNON, high quality, filming in 1080p, the
quality is awesome and due to the fact it was music video it needed to be as I was
going to be shooting close ups and there is more control over the focusing and
zoom of these than other cameras. I feel that the choice of camera was correct
as it was relatively light weight and portable and sturdy. For the majority of
the filming I did it with a tripod was a bit to jumpy to film by hand. I
thought about using a dolly for the tracking however due to the space I was filming
in it became impractical to use, also the dolly we have at school isn’t very
smooth so it often jumped about or got stuck. The opening scene is in an ambulance,
the dolly was way to wide to fit down here, so I ended up leaning the tripod
slowly keeping the camera level and doing it that way. The sound quality from
the camera was great although I didn’t use any of it, it was very crisp and
sharp. The use of premier pro and other editing tools and software allowed me
to edit the music video and my evaluation tasks together, speeding footage up
and changing the duration, using cross dissolves. I found premier pro quiet
easy to use as I have previous editing experience with this software, After Effects
is another story, im still learning as its quit a technical program to use, however
I gained a basic understanding in how to make titles and edit a few sections of
footage but I didn’t need to use it this time as it didn’t fit in with the common
conventions of the genre. For my evaluation tasks I used a couple of pieces of equipment
that I hadn’t before, I used the Rhode mic, and my GoPro hero 3+ camera to film
the interviews and part of a response to this question, I have used quite a lot,
and quite a variation of technologies in this project, and all to my advantage!
