Week 12

WEEK 12 – (submit draft main task; update presentation; transfer to www.blogger.com)

How are you using media technologies in the post-production stage of your product?


In order for our footage to be imported onto Adobe Premier, we had to use a wide range of technology including an external hard drive:

 

This allowed us to store all our footage and photoshop creations that contained a lot of memory onto a hardware that had a huge storage capacity. Not only this, but it also helped us to access our footage at any time depending on what ever time our group was available.


Here is how we transfered the footage onto the hard drive:

Using my USB with a larger storage capacity, we were able to move the video that was uploaded using an administrators account onto the main computer that we were to use which had the user "VSTUDIO23".

The tape that we used to transform on to the computer was a DVC Panasonic minitape:

 

I used the above manual for guidance on instructions of how to use the camera and what this piece of technology was capable of:

In what ways will your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?



Music:

Reasons why Damian Marley - Welcome to Jamrock was chosen as our second music in the trailer was to over exaggerate the lives underclass youths live. This music in particular seemed aggressive and cultural which was what we were going for. This adds to the feel of domination that the underclass bring to the upperclass.

This poster below may be able to describe why the colours of our trailer were used, bright primary colours portray characters to have loud and bold personalities which stand out. Colour was a great way of showing emotion to the audience and the music corresponded well with that factor.
Everyone world wide is familiar with this song so it can be recognised to our target audience as well as the older generation.

The first music that is heard in our trailer is Wretch 32 - Traktor. We felt that a live and upbeat grime music would best show the culture of South London in contemporary society so that we had one music for the roots of the culture and one that exists today. Having an upbeat loud bass music was important as it draws in the audience, especially a Grime genered music our target audience is familiar with.

 

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

My teacher viewed the trailer for the first time, this being the first draft we had an opportunity for our teacher to give as much feedback so we could get started on our draft two.
Here is the feedback she gave to us:

I also got some feedback from family members and friends, using Skype instant messaging and communication gave me the opportunity to talk to friends using the microphone input and speaker output and gather all their comments and feedback, which I wrote on the sheet above.
