Evaluation - Part 7 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

As a group, we made the key decision to use mobile phones over DSLR cameras to film parts of our title sequence, as it would be more realistic for the audience, as on Facebook and other social media websites we tend to see videos being recorded on mobile phones rather than cameras. This is due to the fact our target audience are students and can't really afford hundred pound cameras, but instead the cheaper alternative of a cross media converging item like a phone that has a camera and can contact friends on the go. This decision was made so that the audience could relate more to the protagonists.

We also decided to film on a computer, after filming a computer screen with a camera. We made this decision so that it would be easier for the audience to view what was on the screen and to also emphasise the fact that our protagonists are a part of the modern digital generation; therefore allowing our target audience to relate more to the protagonists. The clarity of the screen made it simpler for the audience to read the screen and also made it less documentary like (like Catfish) and more of a Comedy/Thriller. Through this process, I have learnt that there a variety of ways to shoot; and it doesn't have to be on a DSLR camera.
