What I used to produce it
YouTube- I have used YouTube so that you can post your film, and any other progress you have made during the time of making your film for instance, what the film looks like without music, your preliminary task etc. and get some feedback from it.
Facebook- You can upload statuses about your current progress throughout your film, and get people interested, you can also upload any pictures from the shoot and even the film itself, or much like youtube, upload your progress as you go through the film.
What I used to edit with
Sony Vegas- I used Sony Vegas at home instead of the mac's version of Windows Movie Maker, IMovie because I already knew how to use it, and it was able to do everything that I need to do in my film, instead of the simple just fade in and fade outs, it meant that I could control the sound, every little detail in the video, even croping and panning, also using the Chroma Keyer (green screen effect) meaning that it was a lot more advanced than other editing software.
PROS AND CONS OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES
Youtube- There are a lot of people on youtube who post very negative views for the sake of poking fun at people and purposely trying to make them feel bad, otherwise known as 'Trollers', so there is a possibility of getting negative feedback, but not constructive critiscm. The advantage of uploading it to youtube is the fact that it does go worldwide, and it is a lot easier to send to people by link then sending the actual video to each person you want to show it to.
Facebook- Facebook is useful to show your video as, it is almost likely that someone will comment on it in your friends, however a con to this is that all your friends will see it and probably have a joke about it (not being mean)but not actually seriously comment on the actual video.
Sony Vegas- Sony Vegas is truely amazing!! It is a professional software that is even used in some industries of media, and you are able to edit every little detail like sound, video, speed, pitch etc. However, if you haven't ever used Sony Vegas before, it is not recommendable for a first time user of editing, as it is very hard to get to grips with everything but after you know how to use it, it is incredibly good!!
What worked well and what problems did you encounter?
What worked well was the facebook thing, it meant that I could get a lot of feedback (which I shall post in a different post)about my film and sony vegas worked very well (even though there was some complications of the files becoming corupted so I had to start over a couple of times before I discovered a way to get around it!).
However, Youtube, even though is a GREAT way of sharing your videos, you will only get really friend's opinions, unless you have many subcribers, which can be very difficult to get as you'd probably want to have at least 50 subcribers to your channel, to get a decent amount of feedback (as not all of them reply, possibly about 1 in 5 depending on the video)
