Digital Technology

• How has digital technology helped you to capture your ideas for media production?
I used iMovie to edit my video and my video was uploaded to Vimeo afterwards so that the whole world can see my video. I also used wordpress to put all of my notes and production sections on the internet to save paper

• What benefits do digital technologies offer? Are there any disadvantages?
There are several issues to do with secrecy and secure files. It is a real worry that if you save some files and later find out that they have disappeared you could be really set back and lose a lot of work

• How did digital technology influence your work in post-production – for example in the creation of video effects, or the manipulation of images.
The use of technology was limited as we didn't have the software that we have this year. Really the only bit of post production that I did was slow down the footage and add a vignette and slightly changed the colour

• How have your skills with digital technology developed, and how has this influenced your productions?
Since last year we have new better software and I have been slowly trying to train myself up with the software by looking at tutorials, videos and making things of my own to go on youtube

• What role might digital technology play in the distribution of work such as yours?
I will be using YouTube to help distribute my video this year. I can use all sorts of extra things like Facebook and Twitter etc. There are also loads of extra things all around on the internet and through the school that will help too
