In what ways was technology used to create the production?

 

 

 

 

The technology was used to produce the film through the use of Adobe Elements 10.

We used Adobe to develop our film to its full potential by using the editing tools and slow motion tools to improve the film for our viewers. We used the speed up tool effect on Connor and James's eyes to give the audience a dynamic POV effect of both characters using this tool. The last main thing I learnt in regards of technology is the power of camera angles, and how important it is to look into choosing the correct setting for shooting because of the instant representation a setting can give off to the audience sub consciously and we also tried to edit a title, but we couldn't quite find the right software to use for our titles.

 

 

 

 

In what ways did the technology constrain or enable the production to be developed?

 

The technology available to me enabled me to improve my film by adjusting parts such as the lighting and the speed. It also allowed me to have a clean cut for each scene.
