I used blogger as an online journal to mark my whole production process from start to finish, it enabled me to add both pictures and video clips to my post to make them more blog friendly. it also gave me the chance to edit my posts.
IMOVIE
Imovie is a programe created by apple. It helps you nto store, record and edit your films. it offers a wide range of features. such as:Direct trimming of video and audio clips in the timeline
Snapping sync for video and audio, audio waveforms and listening to audio while scrubbing, multiple clip selection, direct import from iSight, full-screen previewing. One video track, two audio tracks. Sample sound effects included, some from Skywalker Sound. Voice-over narration. Titles with effects such as 3D spin, converge, bounce across and ending credits motion. Transitions, such as cross dissolve, disintegrate, twirl, scale down and warp out. Video effects, including fast motion, slow motion, reverse fast/slow motion, brightness and contrast, electricity and fairy dust effects. Creation of still frames from video. Splitting clips. Extracting audio from clips.
By using imovie it helped me to recreate what i thought was an R'n'B music video. It helped me to learn about timing, a way of adding the clips to match the audio, especially when the characters were singing and dancing. It also helped me add the black and white effect to my video as i wanted the audience to concentrate on the content of the video and not what backgrounds/colours were chosen.
PHOTOSHOP
Photoshop is part of the Adobe Master Collection CS3 (Creative Suite) range. by using photoshop i was able to create a magazine cover and a CD digipack by using some of the following tools:
as you can see, the text tool played a vital part in the creation of my digipac, as well as move tool whic helped me to change the positions of my wording. i was also given the option to 'Transform' objects that were on different layers which i then rotated for the sides of my digipack. Photoshop also enabled me to make the right scaling for my digipack.
YOUTUBE
Youtbe became very helpful to me as i used it as a way to learn more and more tricks from photoshop. As Youtube is a global broadcasting site, i was able to find a wide range of videos for what i was looking for, from photo retouching to brightness and contrasts, youtube helped me decrease the time it took to edit my ancillary pieces.
VIDEO CAMERAS
i used a sony video recorder to record my clips, the camrea gave me the options to control my lighting and sound within the clips . the use of tripods helpd me to manipulate my camera movement for certain shots.
SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES
Social networking sites like facebook helped me to get audience feedback, this played a vital part in my production process like my magazine cover as feedback showed me the likes and dislikes of the audience from what i had done up to that point.
In conclusion digital technology played a vital part in my production process as without them my production may have not been believable as it is and i would not be able to pass my ancillary pieces as real ones. i would not have been able to give a non linear narrative to my video and i would not have been able to manipulate the pictures in both my ancillary tasks.
