Section A: Question 1A Digital technology

Explain how your skills in creative use of digital technology has developed over time

Digital technology includes:
  • Hardware - Cameras (Sony CMOS), Mac computer, Handheld Microphone, Boom Microphone
  • Software - Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Powerpoint, Word, IMovie
  • Internet based technologies - Google, Prezi, Examtime, Youtube, Slideshare, Gmail
Intro:

Over the two years studying media A level media we first had to create a foundation portfolio in AS - this included a filming of a conversation and a film opening - and a advanced portfolio in A2, including a sponsorship sequence, a web pop-up and two adverts. My skills in creative use of digital technology developed significantly over the course of these two portfolios.

Para 1:

My preliminary task in my foundation portfolio was a short video of a conversation named troubles in college. The hardware and computer software which we used to create this video footage was completely new too me at this stage as I was unfamiliar with the Sony Handycam video camera and Mac computers, as well as IMovie which we used to edit the footage. This made it hard for me to be creative as I could only carry out basic computer functions both on the Mac itself and IMovie, and had basic camera skills such as shooting still shots. However I was able to show a level of creativity as a new comer to the world of video editing as I included title screens on IMovie which used the wipe-in, wipe-out transition. However some of the shots when physically using the camera hardware were not completely steady and looked unprofessional.
