FINAL CUT PRO
Final Cut was the most frequent software used throughout this project and was an essential software that was used throughout my research, planning and evaluation stage. I have had previous experience with this software from my credit sequence at AS level being edited the same way. The only difficulties I encountered were colour correcting as unfortunately the lighting exposure in particular shots made some shots unclear.
Throughout constructing the main take and ancillary tasks, I used a number of different specialised media technology to help produce the highest quality products. I used:
-Cannon 550d camera and tripod
-Boom microphone
-Photoshop elements
-Motion
-Final Cut Pro X
-Scribd
In my evaluation stage I had to answer four questions, each using a different form of media. To answer my first question I decided to use Prezi. This was because I could follow through a journey, which I felt this question needed and I felt it was best to break it down into three sections which were easily done and easy to read with the Prezi software. I also added text boxes when self-explaining as this form of writing is less list like and would not sit easily in a Prezi as the text is too long and detailed. Secondly, I used a web camera to record myself and create a video answering this question. I used this software because it was best for portraying lots of information at once without the effort of reading it all. In a video I can fully explain my thoughts and ideas and I feel the viewer will relate more to what I say when via video because it allows them to adapt to my mind-set. This was done alone side another Prezi as I was dividing up pieces of information. Next, I used a variety of media technology to answer my third question. I used Survey monkey features to type up my audience questionnaire, the feedback I displayed through statistics. Then I used slide share to publish my presentation results in an simple format to read. Similarly i used YouTube to post my audience feedback discussion. Finally, for my fourth question I decided to use a mixture of all the media technologies I was now familiar with in order to show my progress in my media skills over the 2 years.
