Evaluation Question 4 - How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? Part 4

-Discuss your use of the Blogger

Blogger was the perfect blog website for me to use. Nothing was hard to use or understand, and the layout was very simple you use. By using Blogger, I was able to meet the criteria set out by the course and the lecturer. Finally Blogger was the best website for my Research and for doing my Evaluation.

Limitations of Technology:

The limitations for the technology was that I have never used any of these pieces of equipment before. There was a learning curve required in order to be able to use them. Another limitation was that we have to digitalise the recordings from the cassette onto a DV tape, then onto the Mac's and FCP. This process took ages to do, and if I used a a plain Sony handycam and a SD card, the process would had been a lot quicker.

A final limitation was trying to get the equipment. Many a time where I go ask the technician, he either wasn't there or the equipment was already in use. This meant that I had to constantly change the production plan, and this ultimately left me with less actors then I could had had.
