Evaluation 6

In film making technology plays a massive part no matter what level you're at and in the process of making my thriller I have learnt a lot about some of the technology and what a huge role it has. The main thing you need for a film is a camera and you can get many different types, for my film I used my own camera which is a DSLR Canon 100D which is amazing for filming. It allowed to shift focus which looked incredibly good, i shifted focus from eddie to luke so it became clear that eddie was watching luke. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It also adjusted to the lighting really well meaning i could change the exposure and make some shots and others bright which was extremely useful. It also had a built in mic which i used for more realistic diegetic sounds. However in the editing which i did on final cut pro i learnt how to add sounds in  which were more clear and sounded better making my film higher quality. The editing was also extremely helpful in making my film more aesthetically pleasing, for example if an object or person was just off centre frame it allowed me to crop the shot and it also let me make some of the shots black and white which ended up helping the film massively. However than can be problems with this technology, luckily not much went wrong for me but your camera could run out of battery or your footage could become corrupt making it useless.

 

Technology was also extremely helpful outside the making process for example all the planning i did on my blog which was vital for coursework, however this blog did temporarily stop working for me which became a huge hindrance. However it was repaired and i had to catch up, that's where sometimes technology can be unreliable. However it did help me make my film better by allowing me to get feedback from the public by posting it on YouTube and reading the comments.
