Evaluation Question 7- Bronwyn

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

During the process of editing our film on imovie the technology on it helped us through adding effects to some of the clips and audio. On the programme it has an audio affect, which was useful for us as we needed to alter a voice to make it more childlike and for it to echo with the child rhyme to get a creepy girls voice making a well known rhyme and making it scary. The technology worked really well as you would think it’s a child’s voice and the echo makes it more mysterious.

Using imovie to edit our move was a successful piece of technology as it was easy to use, was accurate when you wanted something cutting e.g. scenes and the use of using the effects helped us change some clips to make it suit the genre more. It helped us make some of the lighting the same by adjusting the lighting balance and using a shaky movement in one of the clips to make it more creepy.  

The technology of using the Internet helped us to be more creative as we used sources like youtube and google to look at other student’s previous work to see what worked and what didn’t and professional horror film to get an idea of what to include in a horror to make it our own. And research of what some of our props needed to be like, like the voodoo doll and the criminal cards. By using Blogger we could keep track with our previous posts to help us develop ideas.

Garageband was a big help of technology to us as it help us to get our sound track feeling scary and atmospheric with the use of sound effects like the child’s laugh and example of music to create the sound track. It was easy to use which meant more time making the sound track instead of exploring how it worked.
