This mood board shows some of the different new media technologies I have used in researching, constructing and planning my five minute production. New media technologies has helped us produce and influence our product in so many different ways. As technology enhances and continues to develop, myself and Kerry are thankful for the way it is today (advanced) because we would not have been able to complete our product in terms of editing, actually taking the pictures and producing the product.
Using Final Cut Pro took a lot of getting used to, and you always find ways of making the product better but it is an ongoing process of learning. As Kerry and myself were unfamiliar with using Final Cut Pro, lots of tutorials were conducted. Initially when we looked at Final Cut Pro we were confused and perplexed because it was so alien to us, there was different settings and boxes that just made us so scared! However learning from professionals within our school that had been using the software for years and also in our spare time looking up on Youtube different tutorials on how to use final cut pro for basics. We had to build up our knowledge and become familiar with it quickly as this is what we will be using for the next few months.
Below is an example of one of the tutorials we used to help us with familiarizing ourself with Final Cut Pro. It took quite a while, getting used to this software but as time passes by you realize that it is a trial and error mistake and you learn form your mistakes. After a few weeks we grasped the notion of how to use the program and it was not that hard after all. If we were not provided with this software the quality of our film would not be of a high standard.
The software final cut pro was on Apple Mac computers at school. Mac computers had so much software on it that if we learnt how to use all softwares the product would be amazing. The extent to which the Mac allows you to explore is so far and it is an advantage.I have used a Mac computer before for things like Safari (Internet) and taking pictures with the integrated web cam but not for something so complex like a short clip! With my product Kerry and myself found ourself using special effects that was hard to do, so Youtube allowed us to find videos!
Last year for AS Media our main source of software was InDesign and photshop because we created a magazine in which we used the same software for our ancillary task. We was familiar with these softwares before so there was no need for tutorials.
My main source of documentation and keeping track of what I am doing is blogger. It has all my information on it from my research task to my poster, to my final product! This is an interactive way of showing my blog to people and without the internet I would not be able to show such thing. Living in todays society I am blessed and grateful to be with so much technology! There is so much new media technologies within the world and I have not even used half! As time goes by new media technologies are advancing and in the future, life will be about technology!
Using the camera has greatly influenced our product because without the use of camera, our product would not have been able to be conducted. As I used the camera last year I was responsible for taking the pictures of our subject, Kerry and it was throughly enjoyable. We had to learn about different features such as the shutter speed, and ISO. It was an enjoyable experience and overall we took over four thousand pictures!!!!! Overall this product has allowed me to reflect on how important technology is and without things could not be possible. I have a much wider knowledge and understanding on different media technologies and they are forever expending their ideas!!!
We also used Flip cams to get audience feedback. Flip cam was in HD (High Definition). the flip cam was easy to use and easy to upload to the computer because it had a USB in built in it. We also used the Flip Cam to film our story board.
