Evaluation: How did you use new media technologies in the construction, planning, research and evaluation stages?

Blogger: Blogger is the website which allows us to upload our work on to a blog. This gave us the opportunity to edit and update our work (incase changes were made), this way we wouldn't have to keep uploading work.

Scanner: We used the scanner to display our work on blogger. Without the scanner we wou

have to take pictures of our work and then upload them, which would take more time, also the pictures may make the work unclear, making it mow difficult to mark.

Sony Pd150: This camcorder allowed us to record footage in a much better quality compared to the Sony Handycam which was used in AS. Although this camera was quite similar to the Handycam there were some new additions that our camera man had to learn in order to make our short film look more professional such as white balance.

Windshield Microphone: The microphone was used throughout production to record audio. The microphone is connected to the PD150 because the camcorder does not have its own internal microphone

Sennheiser headphones: The headphones were used throughout the production process in order to get a more reliable source of audio, so we would have a better understanding of what the audio quality would be like.

Mic Boom: The boom is a pole that extends, it is attached to the Windshield Microphone, it is used so the microphone can get closer to the needed audio without getting in the shot. When we needed to get audio from outside we protected the microphone with a wind muff to make sure we didn't catch unwanted audio.

Pro Light: The pro light was used in every bedroom scene, the pro light has barn doors which helped us to control how much light we needed, helping us obtain the right amount of daylight for the bedroom. We used a variety of gels with the pro light to show the time of day or to convey a mood. If we were unable to use the artificial lighting then we would of had to rely on natural lighting which could have been a huge problem for continuity.

Sony Handycam: The Handycam is normally used in order to capture visual footage, however we used handycam to capture required audio for our production e.g door slam, phone vibrating and the boyfriends half of the phone conversation.

Computer Edit Suite: The computer edit suite was incredibly important because without it we would have never been able to carry out post-production. The suite is made of two minitors,a keyboard, mouse, speakers and a computer tower.

Adobe premiere pro: This programme was used in post-production to edit our footage in order to create our film. This programe allowed us to edit our video footage, audio and allowed us to put in special effects.

Flip Mino Video Camera: This was used to record our audience feedback after they had seen a rough cut of our production. The flip mono video camera had a USB with in it, which made it easier to upload and edit the audience feedback.
