What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? - Evaluation1/4/2015 Editing software
For our preliminary task we used the software Final Cut Express to edit. We found that this software worked for the basic nature of our preliminary production, however it would not accept uncompressed HD video. Compressing a HD video significantly decreases its quality, and so we found that Final Cut Pro was capable of importing HD videos without them having to be compressed. Final Cut Pro also allowed batch capturing of footage from tapes, making the importation of footage much more convenient. Music composition software We used GarageBand to compose the music in our production. We did not compose any music for our preliminary task due to time constraints, however GarageBand is user friendly and worked well for our needs. We used the pre loaded instrument loops on GarageBand, changing the instruments and modifying the speeds and keys to get the desired effect. We found that GarageBand allowed us to compose our music (to a good standard) in a relatively short space of time, because of the simple, user friendly layout. Camcorder I did not record the camera that we used for our preliminary task, however it was a simple, standard issue digital camcorder. It worked well, however we found that the sound was not very good quality due to the fact that there was no external microphone (it was just a small microphone in the camera's body). Because of this, we decided to use a bigger camcorder with an external microphone for our actual production. The downside of this was that we had to use a camcorder that used tapes to record on. The tapes were difficult to use and actually meant that we had to have no audio on the videos in our production as the audio had recorded out of sync to the video.
