Evaluation activity

We have used Blogger for all our media work and the lead up to our films including props, costumes, treatment anything that was important it was posted on here. This was how we kept updated with coursework and the planning in our film. Blogger was the centre of our film information it had everything we needed on it so that we could constantly look at what we still had to do.

We had to upload our final video to youtube and this took a few attempts but it came out ok apart from it had Premier elements written across the screen as this was the only way that it would upload from that system, that took a lot more attempts then we hoped for.

We had to use the schools system of premier elements rather movie maker as it had some great effects that we managed to incorporate in our film. I would say that Premier elements is an ok system to use hoever it does crash a lot and that could be because we had a high resolution footage but we lost our work a couple of times due to us not saving and that it crashing. We had problems uploading the film due to the crashes and this made the process slower than normal.

We used the schools computer to upload our film and this was rather slow as our film was being processed because we had so much footage to sort out. It imported the footage fine and was an excellent quality when on screen however when we put it in premier elements the sloweness of the computer made it hard to fit everything together. Although this occured our film came out great.

This was the tripod we used in our filming process it was easy to handle and had no problem. We decided to use Bekky's tripod rather than the schools as we found it was more simple and accurate to use as the transition of the pan was smooth.

This is the camera we used for the filming and it had a clear viedo image. The camera being light was easy to handle and we found no faults with the camera when using it. The camera was a suitable size and could film every shot we needed including a wide shot. The editing process for the camera was slow because we had a lot of highe definition footage.
