Research on CCR Question #4

 Research on CCR Question #4

Now that the journey of the Portfolio Project is coming to an end, it is time to start reflecting on what has been done and how I can show my reflection engagingly.

CCR #4 Question 

How did you integrate technologies - software, and hardware online - in this project? 

Throughout the development of our portfolio project, we used a variety of technologies—both software and hardware—that not only enhanced the overall quality of our film opening but also helped us solve problems and overcome key obstacles during the process. One of the biggest challenges was staying organized and keeping track of our progress. The Blogger platform helped solve this by allowing us to document our work consistently. Posting four blog entries each week for eight weeks helped us reflect on what was working and what needed improvement, which kept us on track. 

Another obstacle we faced was achieving steady, professional footage. At first, our handheld shots were shaky and inconsistent. Using a tripod helped us solve this problem by providing stability and smooth camera movement, leading to cleaner and more polished visuals. During post-production with video editing, Adobe Premiere Pro helped us giving access to professional editing tools and refine our footage, and create seamless transitions.

For sound, one of our problems was recording clean audio without background noise and finding a way to test different music/audio combinations. The Voice Memos app helped by allowing us to quickly record multiple takes of music. We then used iMovie to layer and edit the audio tracks together, solving the issue of combining sounds smoothly and maintaining clear audio throughout the film.

Every piece of technology we used—from the camera and tripod to the editing software and sound tools—played a critical role in solving problems and helping us adapt when things didn’t go as planned. These tools allowed us to work more efficiently.
