how did you use technologies in the construction of your work

through out the consruction throughout out media piece and subseqent blog i have used a range of diffrent technologies to construct my work.

The first one was the media studies department camera this was a vital piece of equipment because it allowed us to capture the film sequence and then transfer it to sony vegas movie maker which was another key part technology, it allowed us to edit our film so that we could accuratly portray the knid of scenes and feelings in the way that we wanted, it also let us sync the movie with the music and sound this was vital because without this abilty we would not have been able to create a high standard of work. We also used the internet to do our research into the diffrent styles of films and also to download diffrent melodies that we could use to structure a music rhythem for our movie clip. We also used microsoft office excel,word and paint to create the graphs that we used to process and represent the data we recovered from questionaires.
I also used the computer to get screen shots from my piece oof work this was important because it allowed me to give examples and evidence for what i was saying. I also used You tube to get the video trailers for the movies that i researched this was vital because it lets people see what im saing and this also toaught me how to use embeding codedes to create and add videos to a blog.

Throughout this piece of work i have learnt a lot of new skills in creating and constructing a media piece. the first one was how to use diffrent camera angles and shots to portray and emphasize diffrent things to the audience. i learnt the importance of and how to effectivly use.

• close ups
• zooming

I have also learnt how to use the camera to deal with difficult enviromental situations for example sun spot and how to reduce and remove the effect the wind can have on the microphone.

I have definatly learnt alot about editing techniques and the importance it has on a film. I have learnt how to legthen and slow scene downs, how to repeat them, how to add special effects and also the importance and effect different speeds of editing has on the pace of a movie. This was very vital because it allowed me to use the forms and convention of a typicasl thriller film but it also let me change and challeged theese forms and conventions.

The making of the dvd title also taught me new techniques because it showed me how to use a current template butchange it to suite me it also gave me the chance te learn how use technology to make something look more professional.
