THE PITCH - Technology Skills audit

Technology Skills Audit

1. The first technology software was 'blogger.com' as I had never used this website before so at first it was a little bit confusing. However, a couple weeks in I got the hang of it and was able to use it adequately. Blogger has allowed me to organise my blogs and keep them together. This was really useful as I knew were all my works was and that it was easily accessible at any time. Also I learnt how to embed videos and photos.


2. Prezi helped me gain skills such as designing a presentation in a creative, fun way. It helped develop my project in making it more creative and pleasing to the eye. It can also help with other projects, in the future, that need to be more creative.

3. Camtasia software of annotating videos. It learnt how to use the software by uploading the video chosen to the camtasia program, then adding annotations onto the video explain various different sounds. The software helped develop my project for when we record our film and when it comes to the editing, if we have to annotate the video for sounds or camera shots, I will be able to upload my film and do annotate it sufficiently.

4. Adobe Premier Pro for editing, as first was really confusing for me as I've never used the software before. So when making our remakes it was quite the challenge. However, gradually I got a hang of the software and was reasonably good as using it. Although, I still haven't learnt everything eventually, with lots of practise, I will improve of my editing skills. The skills I have gained in the meanwhile was to: import a recording, cut parts out and keep the parts that I only need, to do different transitions between cuts, different effects on the scene such as flip or rotate.

5. After Effects for emerging title credits onto out film. After effects was even more confusing for me than premier pro as it had much more tabs and buttons that could potentially be used. Although I managed to added title credits and change the font size and colour, I still need to learn how to place effects onto the credits to that the transitions would look more professional and suitable to the genre.
