Evaluation Question 6 | Final Task

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?



This screenshot to the left shows the post production stage of Anonymous. In this instance we can see the fundamental aspects that has been put into the overall 'look' of this shot. For example, in the effects control panel you can see that this particular shot has been colour corrected.  A leave colour effect has been added and a garbage matte has been overlaid onto the clip. It must also be said that I also put a 'change colour' effect to this clip as the colour of the bag differed to all of the other shots in the sequence (this is due to control of light when filming in public!). This process simply consisted of pinpointing the colour of an existing clip and placing the exact RGB colour code onto this clip. This would therefore increase continuity throughout the sequence. 

Alongside the video which I made, I have also written a post on the equipment that we used throughout the process of creating Anonymous. Here you can see why each piece of equipment was needed and how it allowed us to create the results that we did.

Other Technologies Used

Social Media


Throughout the development of the final product I have used multiple social media websites which have enabled us to showcase, market and organise our project. One main website that we used was Youtube. This platform is great for uploading videos as you can create a channel for youtube members to subscribe to which will inevitably allow you to build your audience. We created a channel page for our media group as we wanted a space to put all of our work onto. This is more effective than uploading our media project onto personal youtube channels, as we wanted to build a audience based around our production company. Moreover, Youtube easily allows you to flip back to your personal channel within the same account. 


We also used Facebook frequently during the process of creating Anonymous. We mainly used it for two reasons; planning & marketing the film. From the beginning we set up a private group page for us to all communicate between lessons. This allowed us to organise anything that had to be done before each lesson or before a shooting day. Screenshots of our group page can be seen here


In addition to this, when we released the opening sequence to our film we wanted to promote the video to as many people as possible. Off the back of this, we have set up a Facebook Page for users to like and keep updated with the movie. Currently we have over 152likes, which is very beneficial for the promotion of our film.

Another resource that became vital for our project was Blogger. Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows users to create your own blog and post whenever you like. This was useful for me as I could upload anything onto my blog, from videos to written posts. One aspect I liked about blogger is that I have learnt how to embed posts from other websites, such as Youtube. This therefore integrates all of my resources together and makes the upload process much easier!
