In the planning stages of the film, we looked at various articles on the internet which discussed the symbolic nature of apples in British culture. A lot of our research also stemmed from Wikipedia pages on apples and other apple related sites.
Constructing the film involved an entirely new media product to all the team – using Apple iMovie as editing software for the film. This allowed us to create a smooth film with professional tools which would ultimately lead to a classy look, a contrast to the somewhat shoddy work of last year’s efforts. All the while we were updating our online blog, keeping it up-to-date with our progress and any future plans, which again incorporates another media technology, branching into further fields.
In the ancillary tasks, we grabbed some images from the internet – including a strip of film and an apple – as well as taking some images of apples ourselves and then manipulated these in photoshop. To construct the advert and article, we used Microsoft Publisher. Incorporated into the article are also some screenshots from the film itself which demonstrates a clear understanding of photo manipulation, particularly with regard to the advert and the duplication of the apples.
For the evaluation, we decided to create a film in an interview setting in response to the questions which we had to fulfil. By using this medium, it offered us another opportunity to employ another aspect of media technologies. In addition to the filmed interview, we will also upload some accompanying material such as PowerPoints or Prezi’s to our blogs.
Throughout the project, we have used a wide range of materials and products such as Microsoft Office products, Adobe Photoshop, Apple iMovie as well as online platforms such as Blogger.com. These have extended our knowledge and understanding of media products and shed new light on the opportunities which are available as well as showcasing our talents as both a group and individuals.
