For this course, we
have had to learn multiple things from scratch, the most significant being
learning to set up an easily navigable blog and learning to use editing
software (in our case, iMovie).
Blogger.com
Learning to use blogger proved to be challenging
at times but overall was an enjoyable experience. There was a vast amount of
useful online tools to help learn how to use blogger as well as us having the
year 13 subject leaders to answer any questions that we had. We used
blogger.com to record all of our research and planning, making it easy to
locate as it is all in one place.
iMovie
iMovie
was the programme that we used to put together all of our filming and create
our final product ‘Vanished’. Originally, we began editing in the school peer
suite with the software that they had in there, but found it very hard to
understand. Another group was using iMovie to edit their film and had
recommended it so we downloaded it onto Emma’s apple Mac. This was much easier
to use. Using iMovie, we could use a variety of transitions and cuts, filter
shots, steady images, remove background noise, add voice overs, and add text
and more.
The Camera
We were given a
video camera by subject department at school. We had little previous experience
in using video cameras as normally we would use our phone camera, but it didn’t
take long to learn how it worked. By the end we were able to film with the
camera confidently and kept it on a tripod to make sure the shots were stable.
