Question 5:

Media Evaluation

Nabilah VazirAS Media Foundation Portfolio

From the process of constructing this media product, I have learnt various things about technologies and how they can be used in different ways to make a media product effective.

Technologies can come in different forms but each can be successfully used in the making of a media product when used well.

A camera and tripod help us to capture or opening sequence successfully using various camera movements.

We learnt how to use a camera effectively as well as filming rules that are used in the media industry (e.g. 180 rule). We also learnt about different camera angles which can be used in a media product to convey a certain emotion, position, situation etc. e.g. panning, Close up, high angle shot.

CAMERA & TRIPOD

IMovie was the main technological tool we used in order to edit our media product.

The construction of this media product was the fist time I used IMovie. It taught me how to edit a sequence in various ways.

I learnt:

• Editing

• How to cut and expand Media products

• How to limit jumpy scenes in a sequence

• How to add sound and transitions

The blog was very helpful as it helped us to publish our media product online and also keep regular entries of our journey through the construction of our Thriller.

Again, this is the first time I have used a blog, but I found it useful and effective. It helped me to keep track of our progress through out the process. It also taught me how to publish various things to a wider audience.
