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


Internet;
The Internet was a vital technology used. It helped me with many things such as Blogger, where I could post all my work done. The search engine Google was vital to finding the information I needed and lead me to many sites such as YouTube and Wikipedia. Wikipedia allowed me to find out allot of information about recent films from the genre we chose etc. YouTube on the other hand allowed me to watch the opening scenes to films from my genre to give me ideas on the conventions of an opening sequence. The Internet also allowed us as a group to find music for our film. We used the website http://www.unsignedbandweb.com/.
Laptop/Computer;
The schools computer and my home laptop helped me to complete work on blogger, upload photos from my camera and so forth.
Digital Camera;
We used my camera to take photos of our characters and locations filmed. We took many photos to use as evidence in our blogs.
Scanner;
A scanner was another important piece of technology used as it helped us get our work scanned onto the computer to put in our blogs.
Camera on Tripod;
Probably the most important piece of technology used in the whole project. This was used to film our opening scene. I think I learnt how to use the camera properly and would feel comfortable with no help when using it, if needed again.
Flip Camera;
This was used to record feedback for our rough cut and final product. From the feedback we got we was able to put it in our blogs and help improve our opening scene.
Software Adobe Premiere Pro;
This helped us edit our opening scene and put it all together. We learnt how it all works and our editing on our film proves it.


To summarise technology has become much easier to use and get a hold of. It if was not for the school we would not have had the correct equipment to help us make our opening. With the edit suite we were able to put together all the clips we had filmed with the video camera. Technology had a big factor when coming to create our opening sequence.
