The fourth question for the CCR is “How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?” I want to discuss any technologies that I use while producing like hardware (cameras, lighting, mics, phones and tripods) and software (planning tools, editing tools and Blogger) and then how I use these technologies and if they helped me solve problems.
One of the main problems we had was choosing which tool we would use for filming. We used about 3 different tools, but we landed on using Santina's mom's camera. First, we decided to film on Fatima’s small digital Canon camera but then we realized that the quality wasn't the best, and we couldn't find the charger for it. Then we started filming on an iPhone, which had good camera quality, but it was lacking a sort of professional look that we're going for. Our last option was using Santina’s mom’s camera, which was mostly for pictures, but we made it work to record video. That camera made our shots look so much more professional. There was one problem with this camera though and it was the filming process. Even though we had a tripod, the tripod would fall over due to how heavy the camera was, so we had to hold it and try to stay still for most of our shots which was hard to do and some of our shots did look a little shaky in the end.
The main software that I used were Canva and Blogger. On Canva (a graphic design platform), I created the animated production logo for the opening, and I also created various mood boards for the project like what the contrast would be in Maddie's old life versus her current life. On Blogger (blog writing platform), I documented every step of the process of creating these opening from the planning to the production. There I shared behind the scenes videos, weekly updates on what we changed and what was going on, Pictures of our props and sets, and all the research I did on both the drama genre and the coming-of-age genre before I started filming. We edited the whole opening on Adobe Premiere Pro which was helpful since we had it on both the school computers and our own.
