New technology has many advantages and disadvantages for media producers advantages include things such as controll every aspect of the film, supervise everyone, have more say in what goes on, disadvantages if anything goes wrong everything comes back to the media producer so having to create a operation and successful product is vital.

I have used many forms of technology during my advanced production work, such as the apple macs, which has a software called Final Cut Pro X which is also used in the film industry, this makes editing the short film very easy to create edit and modify things, if one mistake is made it can be easily resolved by clicking one button. To make the actual film I used a handheld video camera. In Terms of the review and the poster I used a software called Adobe Photoshop, this allows images or text to be changed in various different ways, it also brings out the creativity levels within yourself, as you have many tools and many options to do loads of things it unstoppable of yourself to explore the tools and try them out.

Research/planning

Technology used – We used the internet to do the reasearch of short films, and watch various film shorts the website which i used the most was the BBC FILM NETWORK as it had loads of differnet film shorts.

Developement from AS to A2 – The major and most important developement made was the amount of research that went into this production, in AS i had to research loads of different thriller films, in A2 I researched laods of different film shorts, and what a whole film short consists off rather then just looking at opening of a film.

Construction

Technology used for the film – digital video cameras were used to video our footage for the short films. Apple macs were used and also final cut pro was used to edit our film.

Development from AS to A2 – Although we used the same equipement to video our footage, this year I had to do this in a more creative and original way to make the film more interesting, one major developement is th software we used to edit the film we went from IMOVIE to FINAL CUT PRO X which is more better software to edit and which the film industry use.

Techolgy used for the Poster and review – To make the poster and review I used a software called adobe photoshop this makes it simple as many tools are provided.

Development from AS to A2 – In AS I did not have to create a poster or review, this year I did this was a very difficult process as it was something new and something I have never done before huge amount of research went into it.
