Evaluation Activity 6

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

 We used a simple phones camera, the Samsung Galaxy 6 the camera had better quality than the cameras we were given as it has full HD we attached it to a small tripod and it worked very well but did have a few drawbacks. The tripod being small mean we had to put the stand on a few books or on a high ground and the Samsung did not have 4K HD unlike an iPhone we foudn this hard because we were unable to do different techniques for example fade in fade out we had to do this through editing instead of using camera.The phone was good because it was easy to export the filmed project to a computer and its light and unique photo ability made  things easier for us.

This is the computer we used to do all our editing for the film. We found the PC very fast and not buggy at all this computer is basic but very helpful. We installed three different programmes, the first programme is Photostage we used this to put together our clips and create transitions we found this very easy and useful we never had any problems with the software. The second programme we used was Adobe After Effects, we found this software the best of all because it helped us create a futuristic hyperreal reality and help us o all the sci fi conventions you usually see in a sci fi movie. The last software we used was Cinema 4D we used this to create the spaceship scene it helped us animate a flying spaceship flying past and we just put a space background. We partnered the software with Adobe to create the space background on a green screen. Every single one of these programmes we have used has taught us a lot and may prove to be helpful to know in the future. We learnt how to edit, import and animate different things as we explored new software each one after the next proving to be smarter than the next. It had a huge impact on the genre we chose as we thought it would be difficult to do a sci fi movie but these softwares allowed us to do things beyond what we hoped.

This is the tripod we used it was an extendable tripod which allowed us to make it taller and smaller when we needed to but it did have its problems as it was not as tall as we hoped it would be at times we had to put it on a tall platform because the tripod was not long enough. Where it wasn't tall it made up for it on how easy and useful it was, it allowed us to use our phone to record and we got a selection of different camera shots in the movie. The tripod helped us get different angles we didn't think we could get and the tripod allowed us to do perfect shot reverse shots and 180 degree rules.
