the process of constructing this product?

All of the Software that we have Used

All of the Hardware that we have Used

Adobe Photoshop

We used Adobe Photoshop to create

our film poster.

Photoshop worked really well and had

some specialist tools to use.

We inputted the text and photos.

We made the house black and white and

faded it slightly.

We learnt how to use many different effects and apply them to the

film poster.

SlideShare

This allows you to upload PowerPoints to

the internet.

It also took a long time to log in causing many

problems.

The website had glitches that

became irritating.

We used this to upload our titles timeline.

We had to create an account and we learnt how to upload a

PowerPoint and how we can share it across many other

services.

Adobe Fireworks

We used fireworks to edit all of our

pictures.

We edited the photo shown on Megan's phone showing no

contacts to be clearer.

We created text to go onto the poster.

I found it really easy to use and had some really good effects.

We used it to crop around Megan for

the poster.

We learnt how to edit the pictures. We managed to use

tools which allowed us to remove the background and enhance the picture quality.

Survey Monkey

We used is to receive feedback of our final draft We received

responses back through the

website.

The survey did take a long time to load up some people could

get bored.

We sent out the email to everyone

who took media and some other friends.

We learnt how to send out a survey and manage the reply's that we

received.

Blogger

This is how we will show all of our

work.You can upload

text, videos, PowerPoint's,

Prezi’s and photos.

It works really well and very rarely

crashes.

It is an online timeline of

everything you post.

We learnt many things when using this software.

We learnt how to post onto the site and that we can

post no just text but pictures and videos as well.

Prezi

We used them to pitch our films to each other and our main film pitch. Can be embedded into

Blogger.

It had some few problems when using it. It kept on crashing at some points.

You create them online so can be accessed from

anywhere.

We learnt how to use Prezi as non of us had used it

before. We learnt how to save the presentation and

that we could embed it into Blogger.

YouTubeWe can view other schools projects for

ideas.

We uploaded our videos then

embedded them to Blogger.

We set up an account to make us able to upload and

share.

Videos can be uploaded and

shared.

We can show off our production by

sharing the link.

We had all used YouTube before but we did learn how to add annotations

and labels onto the video.

Adobe Premiere

Premiere is an editing software.

We made a small music video to help us learn how to use the

software.

We also used it to edit our prelim task.

It was very professional software and worked well. Had no problems with the

software.

We used this to edit our first draft, final draft and any other videos we created.

We had never used Premiere before so we learnt a lot from using it. We learnt how to put many different effects and

transitions on the video and how to add text and slow down or speed things up.

We also learnt how to add different layers and have more that one clip

showing at once.

Audacity

Audacity is a free software that lets

you edit and record sound.

We used this software on our

storyboard video.

Worked really well and did not crash. It was very simplistic

and easy to use.

We used this to do voiceovers on our

work.

We had used Audacity at G.C.S.E ICT so we was

fermilliar with the layout and what we

could do with the clips.

Camera

We used this camera to film our opening.

It can also take still images. We used this camera to take all of

the pictures.

This is a Sony AVCHD Camcorder

We found it really easy to use and gave a

steady shot.

The camera was basic but as we had never really used a

camera before it was new for all of us but we picked it up

quickly. We also found a feature that let us play back what we had just recorded.

Tripod

The tripod was easy to attach to the

camera.

We found this really easy to use which makes it a

good product and a good piece of equipment to

use.

We found out that if you lifted one of the legs you could get a

really steady pan shot.

It was really useful for when we had to put the

camera in a small spot so we could get a very still

shot.

USB Stick

We used this USB stick to transfer our work.

We could also bring in anything that we have

found or made at home.

As the three of us were working on different

computers, some files could be too big to send so

we would transfer them.

Computer

This was the computer we used to do all of our

editing.

This computer has specialist software on it

like Adobe Premiere and Photoshop.

We edited our first draft, final draft, poster and all of our pictures

on here.

It is a Dell computer with an inter i5

processor.

We also uploaded everything to Blogger

and YouTube from here.

These computers are found all over the

school so we had all used them before

making it easier for us to find our files.

Green Screen

This made it a lot easier to edit and

saved us a lot of time.

We then imported the picture into Photoshop to

get rid of most of the green then put it into fireworks to

remove the rest by hand.

We used a green screen for our

poster.

We took a picture of Megan against the green screen so we

could edit behind her.

This was the first time we had used a green

screen so when it came to editing it was a little tricky tying to find out

what to do.

Mobile Phone

We used this phone for many

things.

We used it to be Maddie’s phone in the film opening.

As this is Megan's iPhone 5, she knew how to use it and it

saved us a lot of time when email

across photos.

We also used it to take photos and email them to ourselves so we can

then upload them.

Headphones

We used these headphone in every lesson.

We used these when editing so we can

block out the sound around us.

We also used them to do voiceovers in

class.

Ben Flatt also used them a lot when he was searching for music for our film.

We had also used these headphones in other

subjects so we know how to set them up and how to

recorded from them.
