Throughout this year i have used a variety of technology for instance i have used Cameras and an tripod whilst filming. I have also used I movie when editing. I have also used a software programme called GIMP which i used to create our print ad. Another programme i used was garage band which i used to make a song which was inserted into the radio print ad.
I found that the cameras were easy to work and that i got used to using them quickly. In addition with the cameras the tripods were simple to use. The software I movie took time to get used to but as the course progressed i felt my knowledge progressed too.
When using the software GIMP as i had knowledge of using Photoshop Adobe before in my other course, Photography. I used my knowledge from that course to produce our print ad. I inserted a photo of myself with exaggerated make up on symbolising the childhood toy Barbie. This is because she symbolises the 'perfect' women. Which gives the audience an idea of what our documentary is about. I then used various effects to enhance the photo and to make it much brighter and sharper to make it appear more 'in your face'. Although it doesn't take much as the photo has big eyes which are starring at the audience.
I then inserted text onto the print as well as the channel 4 logo to show the audience where to find the documentary along with the time and date it was on.
When using Garage Band i found it was quite simple to use as all of the buttons had descriptive writting on them explaining which ones did what. Also it was easy to drag each beat and tune to the main task bar. Which made it easy to try different beat to make the song. Once i chose each beat i could then enhance each beat by changing tuning and timing.
I feel that throughout this year my knowledge has improved whilst using these technologies.
