I have planned what technologies I intend to use to create my text. The first technology is the Mac computer. I have used the mac to do my research for my short film and use blogger to upload things. Google/YouTube I have used on the macs to look at existing films and doing my textual analysis'. The mac I will be using to do all my editing on, using software's such as final cut pro, where I will upload all I have filmed and edit lighting, transitions etc. There is also software's such as pic monkey, or pixlr which are used for editing too but my main software will be final cut pro. Another technology I m using will be a video camera and my iPhone 6. The video camera I will be using, along with a tripod to balance it on to do my filming, ensuring all the settings on the camera are put how I want them. With the video camera I am also doing a scene where the camera is going to be hand held and look shaky, this is good with the school cameras because they are small and practical. My iPhone 6 I will be using the camera on it so I can do a recce, take pictures of the location, props, costumes, cast etc. I decided to use my iPhone because it will be quick and easy to take a picture and then upload it. I will also use my iPhone to take shots for my film review page, to make it exciting. For my evaluation questions I may use prezi or sound cloud as another form of technology to do these, I will use these so I can keep my evaluation exciting and show my blog in different forms. In terms of editing and sound, I will need a creepy lullaby in my short film so therefore I will have that playing over the top. I will make this sound on garage band and upload it to fit with my short film. The green screen will be in use when filming my film, this I another technology in which is effective and will look good for the background I will be needing.
Here I am using the green screen to film my news report part. As you can see I also used the studio lights to get a good bright background. I thought the lights made it look professional and make it look clearer on the camera. I really enjoyed using the green screen it meant I could change the background and add other things on to it and take things away. However once we had filmed the news report we uploaded it on to the mac and we found that once we had inserted a background of a news report on to the back of it that there was a bright reflection on the end of the table, and this meant it went all hazy and pixilated. We decided to change this and we filmed it again but this time we lowered the professional lights and made it less dimmer and by doing this meant the light reflection would hopefully disappear. The pictures below show the improved green screen where the light isn't as bright and it is clear. We added the news reporter background and we are going to add a picture on to the TV screen which is linked to the news report that we are talking about. I think our outcome of this looks professional and I am glad we overcame this problem and I am happy with our end result.
With the green screen, write a post that briefly explains the problems that you had with the reflection on the desk - you could screen shot and upload, and then explain how you overcame it, and show another screenshot. This will show real progress and autonomy, as you and Jess sorted it out yourselves. It also demonstrates that you are evaluating your progress all the time, making you a reflective practitioner.
