Question 4


Through the construction stage of making my short film. i used media technologies. for example i used Adobe Photoshop as a tool to edit,delete and renovate my film so it could look good and professional. through Adobe i also used this to create titles and credits and also use effects such as fade used for smooth transition. To create the film i used a specialised Canon Camera. this was not an ordinary camera as to the Canon was much bigger and technical than an ordinary. Microsoft was a source of technology i used for the construction of my film. for example i used Microsoft software's such as Powerepoint and Microsoft Word to help create my film review and research for them. i used layout templates on the internet for character interviews. i have also used technologies such as the scanner, this has been used because it much simpler than taking a picture of the actual ideas.
Through research i used media convergences such as the internet. for example i used you-tube for researching on other short films that were related to the themes of my film. i also used Google  to research articles relating to the themes of my film. for example themes such as lost relatives, lost siblings and journeys.

Through planning i used software programmes such as Prezi slide-share. this was a useful and creative way to present my work because i could add multiple informations and cool backgrounds to make my work look presentable. i used Prezi to help plan the costume and props list the characters in the film would require and wear. i also used it create a mood board to briefly express the themes, genre and background to create a world for the characters to live in. I also used social networking sites such as Twitter to post helpful information and notes. 

Question 2

Question 2 – How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?


I feel that my poster and film review worked well to support my film. My review was effective in terms of deeply analysing the concepts of my film and talking about key event happening in it. My poster was relative to the themes in my film. These are shown through the colours I have portrayed, for example i have used specific colours such as grey, red and blue. The reason for this is because grey symbolises the past of the main protagonists of the film. The red symbolises the love they both share after finally meeting each other and blue connotates the happiness and new life they  are about to share. The main figures/objects shown in my poster are the main protagonists Jamie and Albert. I felt that because they are primary characters they should appear as the protagonists in my poster. The pictures are shown photographically meaning they have been taken out of the actual clip of the film.
