New Technology
This year I have explored a few new technologies during the production of my coursework. The first one that I utilized is Aperture, very similar to Adobe’s photoshop, aperture is an Apple programme designed for editing photo’s. The main reason that this was such a useful tool for my advanced production is
because both my ancillary tasks are print. Aperture enabled me to edit my photos to give a professional finish, something that i feel is vital when producing a poster and especially a magazine front cover.
The second piece of new technology I used during my production is GarageBand, once again this is an apple programme. Garageband is used to produce music or soundtracks. In my case, I created a custom soundtrack to go with my main task, the teaser trailer. The software functions by overlapping and joining small sections of sample sounds to create your required track. The software allowed me to tweak and adjust the beat and tune to give the perfect track to accompany my trailer. Once finished with the editing, I was able to export the soundtrack to iMovie and add it to my trailer.
The last piece of new technology I have used this year is social networking and youtube. These have allowed me to get some audience feedback on my teaser trailer. I have been able to upload my video to youtube and post links on social networking sites such as facebook. This has increased the awareness of my video and in turn increased the volume of feedback from my audience.
