To communicate amongst one another we used an Android messaging service called Google Hangouts and this was effective as we could see if members of our group have seen the messages, ensuring that all members of our group knew what to do and when to do it. We also were able to send pictures of work or notes amongst one another also further ensuring our group knew what was going on at any particular point during the project’s duration.

The
tripod and camera combination allowed to us to film the media product as stable
as possible, removing any unnecessary shaking from our film. This made the
media product much better than it would have been if it was filmed handheld;
however this removed the realness it would have had if it was filmed by hand.
We used
an Apple iMac to do all our research through the Google search engine, and we used iMovie for the actual development of our media product by storing
and editing our footage on it. We have learnt that there is a vast range of
products available to us in order to edit footage to a standard we would like. Software
such as Sony Vegas Pro or Windows Movie Maker could also perform the editing
task but we stuck.
Sites such
as Blogger and YouTube were also used in tasks such as putting up new posts or
videos with regards to the project. What we’ve learnt with these is that a
great deal can be done on Blogger for example to post up our work and customise
it all to look how we would like it to look. YouTube enabled us to search for
other media projects to see what others have done, giving us the opportunity to
see media products from the past and how we could produce something of similar
quality. YouTube was also there for us to search for similar films to what we
had hoped to create for our project.
