When it came to using digital technology we used a
lot of different types of programs. We used Blogger for the research and
planning, Final cut pro to edit our film, InDesign to write our review and I
used Prezi to answer a question in the evaluation.
When using Blogger the benefits were we had
somewhere we could all access from home to write and publish what we had done
in the sessions when planning the stages of our film. We could add pictures and
videos It helped us document what we did and how we did it and it also us lay
out what we had done and what we had to get done by a certain time. It helped
with giving ourselves our own personal deadlines to reach, due to the dates next to each post.
I found blogger difficult to use when it came to
format as the format of our blog is really hard to read and its difficult to
find the linked blogs due to the layout.
When using Final cut I found that this was the most
fun part as it allowed us to actually put our ideas together when creating the
film. We could see all the footage we had and once we labelled all of our clips
it became easier and easier as the film came together on the screen. It only
became difficult when it couldn’t find certain clips due to the clip being
moved out of certain folders and mainly just organisation problems we had.
When using InDesign to do the review I found it a
lot easier as when typing, the program would aline the words and show you the measurements
meaning we could make our review almost identical to an actual little white
lies review. The only problem I had with this was the time it took to load up
every time I used it.
Finally when using Prezi I found it simple and quick.
It had hardly any restrictions. Lots of templates to work from and it would let
me add and remove different slides wherever I wanted and once adding a new
slide in, the text box tool was so simple to use as the font etc was already
all set up.
Well done, you met the deadline.

Forget about it now - it has been a long, difficult and at times frustrating journey, but its over now.
