Evaluation Question 6

Q.6 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Overall, the technology that we used whilst creating our film 'Cain' was really useful. It helped us when filming and editing as we could match cut shots we filmed to make our film appear more efficient. The conversion software was especially helpful as without it, we would not have had the music we have now for out opening sequence.  Sound cloud played a major role in finding our music and helped us to find music that wasn't copyrighted and that we could use. I used blogger a lot to show how our group planned for our film and the process of filming and editing. All of the software we used to create our opening sequence was new to all of us so we had to adapt and learn how each one worked prior to ensure that we would not waste time and finish 'Cain' by the deadline.

Final Cut Pro

We all contributed at different parts times when editing. It was quite easy to edit using Final Cut Pro and match up shots that we wanted to use. It also allowed use to manipulate text and music to fit the scenes were were depicting. 

Sound Cloud

Sound Cloud was the database we used to find our music. We all researched music. RJ and I chose the rough cut music which was changed because feedback showed that it was too repetitive. We then, as a group, chose a different sound that changed to fit the mood we were trying to convey. We used Sound Cloud every time from when we were just speculating which music we could use to deciding our final sound choice.

Motion

Motion was very useful as we were able to create our own production and distribution logos using animations and images that were already installed. It allowed us to create animations that reflected our film and fit in with the genre of our film opening.
