Digital Technology

As a part of this project, I'm going to need to use digital technology...that's kind of stating the obvious...my bad :)

Here's a list of the technology I'll use:

Panasonic DMC-TZ6

I'm seriously considering using the video mode on my camera, it's better quality than the camcorder and I find it easier to use. It also can go on a tripod...so that's all good :)

Blogger:

This is where I'm going to store all my work. I've chosen to use this website rather than Wix because...well I find it easier to keep track of what I've done and what I need to do.

iMac:

This is the best choice of PC for me, I like it because its great for editing :D

iMovie:

To create my music video I have had to use iMovie. I have a love/hate relationship with iMovie - sometimes it's the most perfect program in the world, and others, it seems there's no point in using it at all. Overall, I think it's a good program to use, although the amount of 'good' transitions are very limited. I used non-linear editing software, which allowed me to cut out extraneous footage.

Acer AspireOne Netbook:

I have used my netbook (the red one :D ) to create my ancillary tasks on (i'll write about the programs later on). I used it for last years work, so I already knew it was going to be reliable and something I can get along with...metaphorically of course, seeing as it's inanimate...








iTunes:

I LOVE ITUNES!! Simple as. :) There's not a lot I can say about iTunes except i've stored my music for the video on it, helped myself time the music on it...and yeah, iTunes is awesome!









Tripod:


The tripod I've been using is the equivalent of my partner-in-crime. It has saved me from many dodgy camera angles. Although the wind is it's arch enemy as it blew it over when I was filming. To be honest, I don't know what I'd do without one.












Blackberry Curve:

I know this may seem a little irrelevant, but I've used this to organise filming dates and to contact my talent. It's been useful especially when the talent didn't show up...
