evaluation questions

Today, we have received the final question of our evaluation. The question is:



Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Evaluation question 6










Apple Mac - we have learned that using a mac is the best way of producing a media product, due to its speed, its clarity and its array of media software. 









Sony Camcorder - To film our opening sequence, I used a HD Sony Handycam which is of good enough video quality and is easy to carry around due to its small size.




Final Cut Pro x - I learnt a lot from the Final Cut Pro editing software. I used it because it is a professional software and is better, more updated and easier to use than final cut express. It is much easier to add transitions and filters. It is simple to trim, blade, and range select as well as editing in and out music. Also it wasn't a tough task to upload our product to youtube when we finished it




 Audacity - I used Audacity, which is a technological recording software. I used it to record my own voice when creating several directors commentaries. I learnt how easy it was to convert the audacity file into mp3 (Blogger compatible) and how to transfer it to the website 'Internet Archive' before embedding the link onto Blogger. After doing it once, it becomes simple. 






Garage Band - We used Garage Band to create the music for our ident and to modify our non-diegetic soundtrack. It is a good software to use because it has good sound effects and can be easily transferred to Final Cut Pro.  








Prezi - I used Prezi to present certain information. I learnt that you could apply pictures with text and create an animation on a background of your choice. It is a good alternative to Powerpoint because it is more animated. 








Powerpoint - I used Powerpoint because i was already proficiently skilled in terms of creating useful presentations that will achieve getting my information across successfully
