    Evaluation Question 4 - Preparation

    How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

    Examples of technology used:

    - Prezi (Research/Evaluation)
    - Celtx (Planning)
    - Online Desktop Publishing Software (Construction)
    - Slides (Evaluation)
    - Survey Monkey (possibly)
    - PowerPoint (Research)
    - Avid (Construction)
    - Photoshop
    - Audio Technology - Voice Memos/Podcasts (Evaluation)

    What did you use to/how did you overcome certain challenges?

    Challenge: how to present acquired knowledge about technologies - how they help solve problems (How To Video is a good disciplined well-formatted response) -


    Function: how the tool operates when you're meeting the challenge

    Example: How does trimming on the Avid actually operate? You have two windows - you can slide -trim one clip, the beginning clip/end clip etc. Left = preceding clip / Right = succeeding clip


    Effect: a very refined manipulation of the duration of the clip in question. Very important editorial tool, it allows you to be very precise where the cut-off of the movement is. Because the trimming windows are juxtaposed, it is precise in the sense that you have a live visual comparison of those alterations so you can actually see the clip on one side altering, and you can see how it compares with the clip in the other window.
    You have a playback on loop, allowing you to trim


    Significance: you have to match on action - make sure that as you move from one clip to the next, that the action matches - the movement of the body has to be fluent from clip to clip/continuous/ matching, to preserve continuity and good editorial rhythm.



    Key words: PROBLEM!!! CHALLENGE!!!

    How do you move up in editorial quality? - Achieve much higher quality - Avid trim helps you move more precisely than IMovie - you can see how the clip will look, rather than just using a yellow bracket to guess, like in IMovie.
