Question 6 - media evaluation
Question 6 – media evaluation
Strengths –
One key fact in the media industry is that
there is a mass of technology to assist directors or young film makers like myself
but also that the level of ability of this technology is becoming ever more
phenomenal which gives people in the industry opportunity to create their
wildest dreams come to life. The technology that assisted my filmmaking
opportunity was very useful although there is software that is a lot more
advanced however at my level software like Adobe Premier which I used to edit
my film from start to finish and worked rather well but also things such as
Adobe AfterEffects which I used to create a animated moving main title. These
two pieces of equipment are commonly used across the industry but other
software is also very popular such as Final Cut Pro for apple products, Sony
movie studio HD and the Corel editing suite, Alongside animation software like
Blender 3D and Maya. There are also thousands of other technologies and Hardware in the
industry like cameras for example the Cannon 700D digital DSLR camera that I
used to film my short film , Microphones like the RODE portable microphone I
used for an sound boost while filming ,
Computers like the Apple MacBook
or IMac but there are also technology
that I used to upload my Pre-production work such as Prezi or SlideShare.
Weaknesses –
Some of the weaknesses I encountered when
creating my film was the lack of knowledge with certain software such as Adobe
AfterEffects where having some more expertise would have been really useful and
could have made it less time consuming. Another weakness I encountered was the
level of wind picked up in my original filming because of the microphone I used
was quite powerful and led to me having to re-film lots of my film. Once more
another weakness I stumbled apon was the incompetence of Blogger when I tried
to complete some of my Pre-production work on there instead of word which lead
to more time wasting due to me trying to work around its ineptitude.
Opportunity’s-
There are many opportunities to create
amazing film in this day and age even with my level of understanding, budget,
time and knowledge. The software we had as a school was good (Adobe master
suite featuring Adobe Premier , Adobe AfterEffects and Adobe Photoshop) and
very useful although be it not state of the art is was perfectly fine for the
job and the Hardware ( Cannon camera’s , computers and sound equipment) worked
really well and other than a small error with the sound which was part my fault
the overall quality was good. Other opportunities we had was the fact that we
live in the New Forest which is expansive and beautiful and is therefore great
for filmmaking however I personally did not use that to my advantage because my
film was all done in urban areas.
Threats-
I think the main threat as far as
technology is concerned is that there would have been a mixed knowledge ability
in the group so that there would be people who definitely knew more than me
with Software such as Adobe Premier and Adobe AfterEffects giving them a
further reach of them achieving there desired outcome.
