Evaluation part 7 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

We have used different sorts of media to create our title sequence. We started to use DSLR for taking photos of the protagonists messing around and just hanging out. We was going to use it for most of the title sequence but we decided it would be better to use a phone/ smart phone because that's what most teenagers have now days. We decided to shot some videos on that because it was more appropriate and plus teenagers wouldn't afford expensive cameras. As well as that the audience could refer the protagonists back to themselves. We was filming on a DSLR to capture the Facebook bits but we found it a bit of a problem because it was to shaky and too dark. We then found a better way to film the Facebook and that was to film on the macs with a program called hypercam which all we had to do was set up the recording and record it so it was nice and fluent. We tried it a few times to get it right because sometimes it when a bit blurry and fuzzy. As well as that it shows that the protagonists are in that social media world. Lastly to get the key pad sounds and effects we had to use a sound recorder to record use typing on the computer and put that on to the title sequence. Throughout this process I have learnt that you don't have to always shoot on a DSLR there are more easier options that you can use for different stuff e.g. using different software to film on so that the quality is crisp clear and not jittery.
