Evaluation Activity 6 - Processes used while constructing the Split product

Blogger - Perhaps the one that I should be listing as the first and foremost due to the fact tha- well, you know why anyways.

Blogger was a really cool online diary where we could keep updating our blog so that followers could notice our progression with our Split product and also helped us as much as the followers who wanted to know more about how we were doing with the opening sequence itself as we could go back to any blog posts we had posted through the past few months so that none of our processes would be cancelled or delayed due to any mishaps because all of our blog posts were secured on one blog with sub-categories of our pre-production, research and much more.



Mac - The Mac was the source to all of our other programs, softwares and websites that we had used while constructing the official Split product (well, of course, excluding the camera itself.) We had used the Mac to set up our Blogger, Twitter and YouTube accounts as well as utilizing programs that were pre-installed on the Mac such as Adobe Photoshop CS4 which would be used for several pre-production tasks such as nine-frame analyses, picture-editing (whether it would be our official movie poster or anything like that) but the Mac also allowed us to use Adobe Premier Pro.
Beautiful piece of technology, this is.



Camera - If you thought that using the Apple iMacs were beautiful, we even soaked up all of the high-definition glory possible with Panasonic HD cameras which were used for our filming process with the inclusion of our Split opening sequence. Once again, the cameras were definitely beneficial since you can't really make a movie without cameras as I'm sure that the crew and I had filmed, deleted and re-filmed scenes perhaps over 35 times within the space of a week so yeah, it did really act as the heartbeat of our movie.



Twitter - We had used Twitter as social media purposely for our Split product as well as interacting with my crew about any concerns regarding our pre-production, post-production or editing processes while we weren't all doing these processes together so it was a great, intuitive way of being able to communicate with people without any complications whatsoever.

YouTube - We had used YouTube to promote our AS Media Evaluation Activity which can also be seen as marketing our official movie due to the fact that it is a documentary-style video which nitpicks a great amount of information regarding our movie in comparison to other already-released movies.

Furthermore, YouTube is a great way to promote any of our videos that we have been editing and finalizing for our AS Media Studies as it would be a way for us to gain constructive criticism and to be able to reflect on it and better our product.

Adobe Premiere Pro - Once again, without this piece of technology, our Split product may have not been produced to the standards that it were. We had edited this video, provided effects such as the flashback monochrome effects which would be used to help vary and strengthen our professional movie-editing skills, we had utilized video transitions as well as being able to experiment with audio effects too such as the exponential fade which we would use to change the volumes of our soundtrack at specific parts within the opening sequence that were editing with the help of this program.
