Fast and busy because it is an action film, so it wants to build suspense.

In my opinion it looks modern but it is quite old.

20th September 2012 Evaluation


Prezi Evaluation
For this task I had to learn the 12 stages of film making, I have learnt new things every step of the way. Before I didn’t know what `post-packaging` or `development finance’ was.  I now feel happy about how a film is made, I know all about the behind the scene things to do with filming!

  Doing my prezi taught loads of new terminology, I can now make a prezi and know how to upload it to my blogger or any social website! I can also copy and paste or save and upload it onto the presentation .
 In a nutshell creating my prezi taught me many  new things such as not word and means, terminology, and to make a presentation to the best standard! I think I have done a really good job on my prezi, it includes all of the stages and a little bit more!

advantages
i believe using Prezi is a lot better than doing a standard power point  there is loads more of options to make what your doing unique and inventive. this help the produced of what your doing/writing more interesting.

Monday, 17 September 2012

heyy y'all, today in my double media lesson i was just editing my prezi to make it the best it can be. i still dont think its a good as it could be though.
