Krupa: Evaluation 6

When we were filming our film opening sequence, we decided upon ourselves to use a canon camera and that too with a tripod. To be honest, I wasn’t the most professionally skilled individual when it came to using the canon camera. However, I had some sort of basic camera knowledge and skills on how to use the camera to its fullest potential. This was because of the previous tasks which I had completed I used the canon camera. This benefited me in many ways. In my view point, I do strongly believe using the canon camera was a great match and camera for my opening sequence. This is because it captured the scenes with great quality, this added a touch of professionalism and made it look quite realistic. As well as the camera, using the tripod was another great idea. As it was really useful to film a range of different shots. The tripod also prevented the camera from shaking when filming which was another great bonus. I do believe that our opening sequence would have been quite hard to film without using the tripod. If I had not decided to use a tripod to film it would have resulted in most of the scenes being quite shaky making it hard to watch what is specifically happening in the scene. This would have conveyed a message of unprofessionalism. Which in my case I did not want. As it would have conveyed that we used a hand-held camera. So that our audience feel as if they are part of the scene itself. As the genre of our film opening sequence was crime drama. We as a group did not feel it was essentially necessary to use a hand-held camera.

After filming our introductory task, we used iMovie to edit the work.. In the process of using iMovie, we noticed that this software was the best for editing short clips because they do not require many effects or transitions to be added to them. IMovie was very helpful when we had to edit videos as we didn’t have to change the sound or lighting. This was our first time trying this editing software so we thought it’d be best to use it to edit the video clips since we were not familiar with many software that are used for editing.

In the process of filming, we used websites like Blogger to upload all our research and plan which we had used to help ourselves with our media product. We were all able to share ideas and help each other easily as we all uploaded our own work on our blog. We created posts to back up our media product and also to upload the answers to our evaluation questions.

Choosing many different software and websites to help me present my research and planning allowed me to present my work in many different styles and types. The different software and websites were; Prezi, PowToon, iMovie, and Microsoft office word. Trying some of the websites for the first time allowed me to learn that I can present my work in many creative ways. I knew that only using Microsoft office to present my work was not going to be as creative and effective as what you can create using Prezi or PowToon. By presenting my work creatively, it was easier for me to present my work and get my point across clearly as well. In the time I’ve spent in media, I have learnt to present my work using many different techniques to make it creative which is not only handy just for now but also for the future when I may have to present my work or design any type of presentation.

Throughout my experience in this coursework, I have learnt about many different and new technologies which are involved in the process of making the product. I feel that without some of the software, e.g. Premium Pro and iMovie, we wouldn’t have been able to complete our media product to its high standard today. The new software that we’ve used have made the process of filming and editing the product a lot easier. The software and technologies I’ve used have been a great benefit to me as I was able to try various types of websites and software which I had not been familiar with before. Learning these new skills to use new software will aid me with any piece of work that I do later on.

Marketing our Film

How can we market our film?

To market our Film, we can market it in different ways, so we will be able to gain more viewers and audiences through this. 

1) Facebook

Facebook is one of the most popular social media, which is very good for marketing and advertising our movie. This sis because there are 890 million people creating and signing into Facebook, which most of the people use Facebook daily. 

2) Twitter 

The next way to market it can be Twitter, this is because by twitting the information will spread very quickly around the world, which is not only done by the famous people, but it also can be done by the beginners and other ordinary people too.

3) Instagram

The third popular social media, which is useful for marketing is Instagram. This can be a good way too, this is because by uploading pictures, with different type of effects you can attract more audiences.

4) Snapchat

The last social media which I'm going to talk about is Snapchat. Snapchat is thelatest social media, which not mostly used by many people around the world. This because it's a lot simpler, than the other social media to use; you can share to everyone, by taking pictures, drawing, writing, emojis, by calling, video calls and also, by recording your voice.
