1. What have you learnt technologies
from the process of constructing this
product?
Charlie Pryke

2. SlideShare
SlideShare is a Web 2.0 based slide hosting service. Users
can upload files privately or publicly in the following file
formats:
PowerPoint
PDF
Keynote
OpenDocument presentations.
Slide decks can then be viewed on the site itself, on hand
held devices or embedded on other sites. It was launched on
October 4, 2006, the website is considered to be similar to
YouTube, but for slideshows.
I have now learnt a new method of making a slideshow more
diverse. It is a simple step to step guided site, I have used it
for my research and planning because it is a more specialized
and creative way.

3. AfterEffects
Adobe After Effects is a digital motion
graphics, visual effects and compositing
software package published by Adobe
Systems. I have used this for our Title, ‘TRES
ANTE MERIDIEM’. It is more animation and
computer skill based.
It is an editing software that people use to
edit movies and place imaginative props,
settings etc. into their films.
This is the title of the film, it starts very
‘’fussed’’ then goes to a clear title reading
‘TRES ANTE MERIDIEM’

4. Prezi
“Prezi is helping reinvent the art of
presentation”.
Prezi software company, producing a cloudbased presentation software and storytelling
tool for presenting ideas on a virtual canvas.
I have used this to show the whole plot plan for
my film, I think it is a easy software to use, with
steps and a simple but creative way of telling
someone what your doing.

6. Recording camera
and tripod
A camcorder is an electronic device
combining a video camera and a video
recorder. We have used this to film our
opening, we used it in our preliminary
project in the past so we had a partial
understanding but we had learnt to use
the tripod at different angles and how to
work with them together by attaching
the camera on to the tripod with a bolt.

7. iMovie
When using iMovie I moved my clips and had
to do a lot of cutting.
Then match shots up after they had been cut.
Effects on iMovie
I used transitions in-between each shot, to give it a
better effect.
Cross dissolve, Cross blur and fade to black . This gives
more of an affective opening to the next clip.
Also I used an audio effect, Large room, which gave the
scene a “past effect”

8. iMovie
iMovie is an editing software used on
Macs. We used this to edit the opening of
our movie, I tested out what different
buttons meant

03. Monitor Window - views clips or your final iMovie project

07. Import - where you import footage from your webcam or video camera
08. Flip Switch - swaps the Source Video and the iMovie Project from top to bottom
09. Adjusts size of thumbnails used in iMovie

14. Turns on/off Audio Skimmer
15. Edit browsers - different editing browsers such as adding music,
photos, text, transitions, and animations
16. Source Video - shows all events from a particular
source that can be used for editing

9. iTunes
I had to download legal music, from
www.freemusicarchive.com and then
import it onto iTunes which I then
put into iMovie
I had to put iTunes into iMovie by Clicking the
Show Music and Sound Effects button in the
Browser toolbar to display the contents of your
iTunes Library. Click the desired playlist in the
scrolling list box. You can add a track to your
movie by dragging the song entry from the
Music and Sound Effects list to the desired spot
in the Project pane.
