EVALUATION - Digital Technology

What soft where was used?
This year we have upgraded the programme with which we edit our work from “Ulead” to “Adobe Premier Element 7”. This is to enable us to experiment with a new variety of effects and to get a wider range of experience where editing is concerned.

In what ways did technology constrain or enable production to take place?
There were many advantages and disadvantages to using so much technology in the production of our coursework. For example we have been slightly limited in some ways when editing due to the programme which we are using, although more advanced in some ways, it restricts us in others, for example we wanted to make our text flicker when on the screen like a broken light bulb, but could find no way to do this.

What equipment was used?
 Video camera for recording our work
 Tripod to hold the camera still and steady whilst filming to make our work as professional as possible
 Microsoft Word on the school computers and at home to plan our work and keep a record of everything we have done so far
 The internet, for use of Blogspot for our coursework and research, using sites such and Google and YouTube for our trailer analysis

What were the technical pros and cons of digital technology/hardwear?
The equipment we used was extremely effective in most ways, the only times it may ever have inhibited us was when our camera battery would go flat and we had to cut filming short.
