6) What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Throughout the whole process of constructing my film I learnt how to use all the media technology. Personally everything started off being very difficult to use as it was my first time using these equipment so I had to watch some tutorials and do some research so I can come to terms of how to use these technology especially on the iMacs. During editing my product iMovie was  the main source used for editing I also found this complicated to use and it took me a while to get used to it and to be able to edit our film opening without making any mistakes, once I got the hang of it editing became simple and easy to do. As a group the macs was complicated to use because none of us has used it before! However the macs was the must important technology during the process of  constructing our films so being able to use it was very important because without the macs our film would not be able to look as professional and successful as it should be. Garage band was a program on the macs which we used to make our music. This was also very difficult and challenge and playing about with it was what helped you understand and learn what to do. As a group we have now leaned how to use the software's on the mac and the mac itself to edit, crop and put together a successful film opening even though it took a lot of time and concentration.


When actually filming our film opening we had two main technology equipment we used which both worked very well to make our product look as professional as possible. The school gave us a portable camera to use, these were quite simple to use. The camera produced our films in high quality and made it turn put very well, However the battery life was not very good so we needed a back up which was our iPhone's this also produced high quality shots and was very easy to use, it also was good to use because we was all was able to take as much different shots as possible so at the end we can review the shots we took and pick which ones were the best shots and put them all together which is what we did.

Here is a short preview of the shots we took on our iPhone's which provides shots in high definitions. These are examples of panning and close up shots that we used often throughout our film.



What could be improved was to have more practice on garage band to improve the music, also to take more time on it as the music was a bit rushed and too repetitive.
