TECHNOLOGY:
One of the new online programmes I have used
the most is SlideShare for uploading my PPT. This is becoming more important
for me as during the planning for our opening sequence we have to make lots of
PPTs for a lot of our research, e.g. audience research. I have also used Prezi
(once shown on the blog) for my Prelim task. I have tried to use it on other
occasions to and am currently making one for my Marketing Research, however I
do find is slightly confusing and I am definitely more comfortable using
PowerPoint. I am planning to try more technologies in the future such as
E-Maze. Recently I have been experimenting with Premiere a lot for titles for
our film so have been looking at the different fonts available and sizes that
would work, etc. During my Juno edit, Sam and I used a cartoon-like effect
which we found on our own which is quite cool. Also, I found out how to put the
whole sequence in black and white which was useful for my Prelim task. We are
also going to use a cloning effect that Max will teach us to do which we will
use in our final task.
MARK OUT OF 20:
I think I would maybe get 15/16 out of 20 at
the moment. I think I need to go into more detail with certain things and
extend my analysis, however it is all organised and I have good time management.
All the tasks are completed and the majority are very detailed.
PARTS WHERE I COULD BE MORE THOROUGH OR LESS
COMPLACENT?
I could be more thorough in my analysis of
my titles research. I also could go into more depth in my representations.
IS IT FUN TO LOOK THROUGH?
I think it is fun to look through as there
are many pictures and PPTs instead of just text. I have also put it with a
white font which I think is more interesting than just a white background and
black text. I change the style of my blog quite regularly to make it more
interesting. I do need to add some more pictures to break up the text.
IS THE LEARNING JOURNEY EVIDENT?
I would say that it is very evident as looking at my first ever editing task to looking at my prelim task, a lot has improved. Although my prelim was not perfect, since then I have gradually become more skillful with programmes such as Premiere. I have picked up on all the theories and types of institutions. Hopefully my learning journey will become even more evident after finishing my final opening sequence.
TARGETS:
I think I need to link my film opening idea to the conventions of the genre more. Also I need to improve my knowledge of all the different theories and finally make my blog perhaps a little more visual.
