Evaluation Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Platforms

We used a variety of different media platforms and each was used for a different reason. Here are some of the main platforms we used and why.

ZooBurst

ZooBurst is a digital storytelling tool that lets users create their own 3D pop-up books. This was used in our preliminary evaluation to explain how we could improve, but in a more interactive and engaging way.

Dipity

This online platform allows users to create an interactive, visually engaging timeline. Many of us used this to highlight the change evolution of horror as a genre.

Slideshare

This is an online presentation tool that enables users to upload their Powerpoint presentations that can then be embedded and shared online. We used this platform to analysis our research in an effective way, where we wouldn't just have to re-type everything on our blogs.

Padlet

This online platform allows users to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. We used this platform to put forward our film pitch and gain feedback from our audience on what they liked and how we can improve.

Glogster

This is an online platform that allows users to create a multi-media poster with various layouts, shapes and designs to choose from. We used this platform when creating posters that included both text and pictures.

Prezi

This is another online platform that enables you to create a presentation, but Prezi allows you to create presentations that captivates your audience by zooming through your presentation. We used this platform to create presentations that included a lot of information, which needed to be chunked to make it easier to understand.

PowToon

This is an online platform that allows you to create either an interactive slideshow or a video. We used this platform to mostly create videos that present information through animation.

Weebly

Weebly is a wed-hosting service featuring a drag-and-drop website builder. This made it very easy for us to keep track of our improvement and progression.

Emaze

This is an online presentation tool that we used to present our ideas in a visually appealing way.

Sound

In our preliminary task we only used the microphones on the camera to record sound, we sound this produced a 'tinny' which we didn't want in our final product. So to get higher quality sound for our final product we recorded sound separately on Beth's Zoom H4N. This produced much clearer, sharper sound quality.

Cameras

We have learnt about using Nikon cameras and how they produce high quality images. We had to learn how to securely put the camera onto the tripod so we could get a still shot and also this allowed us to pan across the whole location, meaning we could have a steady establishing shot.

Editing

We used Final Cut Pro for all of our editing. Before we started making our horror opening we all had a basic knowledge on how to use Final Cut Pro, but after editing our final product we gained a much deeper understanding of how the software works. We now know how to adjust the gradient of shots, how to create idents using online copyright free footage etc.
