When we started our preliminary task at the beginning of the school year, we didn’t have the widest knowledge of the things we were going to use. I hadn’t used Garage Band in quite a few years and I had no experience in iMovie. On the other hand, we had all used cameras, which meant that we got all of our filming done quickly.
When we started to edit for the first time (in the prelim. task) we didn’t use many transitions between shots. This may’ve made our production I little jumpy. We managed to pick up our game and added more effects for the final product. We also cut out more un-necessary footage from our clips which made it smoother. On the other hand, we filmed longer clips so that we had more room to edit specific sections.
We had to use Garage Band to create the soundtrack to our piece. We didn’t use this in our preliminary task, so we had to get to grips with it in a relatively short period of time. Also, we had even less time because we had two plans previous to using the Garage Band programme. Firstly, we were going to use the Macs in the music room, but we were unable to get hold of relevant cables to link them onto the keyboards in time, so we had to call that one off. We also had a song (as mentioned earlier) that went well, but we couldn’t use it because it was from a signed band.
All in all, I think my group and I adapted quickly to using different technology and computer programmes within media.
