Evaluation 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?



The technologies we used developed our creativity from research to post-production as when we were researching and planning we only planned to use still shots without the use of any panning or tilting. However after we came into contact with the dolly and stand we began to experiment with the techniques which could be used in the product to create a clear and eerie atmosphere.

When discovering the effects and techniques which could be created with the Final Cut Express software, we found that we could create effects which could create a positive impact on the final edit.
For example, we created a white flasback effect which highlighted the idea of a premonition occurring. We originally did not even consider creating this effect until experimenting with the lighting levels. We included the effect to emphasise the premonition taking place.


The blink effect was created using the software as we created a fading black out and fade in effect as well as blur to create a realistic awakening. We considered putting this effect into practice when looking at other real life products but we were unsure if it could be acheived. However, we successfully acheived this technique by the experimentations of the dissolving and fades. This really developed our creativity in terms of editing as we found that editing tells its own narrative aswell.
