1. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT
TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE
PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS
PRODUCT.

2. Youtube
I have used ‘Youtube’ countless times when constructing this product mainly for
research purposes. It was used when needing to research conventions of our
genre and also when looking for tutorials regarding editing techniques. This
was used to extreme effect as without YouTube we wouldn’t be able to use as
many editing effects as what we did. In addition to this, if we wanted to embed
our video onto a certain device we would have to upload it to YouTube before
hand, as I’ve never had to upload and embed previously I learned how to
navigate across YouTube confidently and effectively.

3. Adobe Premier
Adobe Premier was used to add effects, cut and import different sections to
make our final product. By using this format to do that we ended up with a
smooth and effective product. Before constructing this project I was only able to
access adobe premier and put different shots together however after this
project I am able to use it more comfortably and also edit the sound and effects
of our opening sequence.

4. Nikon DSLR
I had little to no experience with using this specific camera previously therefore
this is one example of a piece of technology that I have become competent
with. In the first and second draft I wasn’t acting therefore I was required behind
the scenes to do camera work and in this time I learned how to effectively use
the camera to get successful shots.
This is an image of
the camera that was
used throughout the
filming process.
One of the shots I took in
the second draft using the
Nikon DSLR.

5. Tripod
I was required to use the tripod when
behind the camera during the first and
second draft filming. It was relatively easy
to use and needed common sense to
become competent at filming. It was easy
to adjust the height as all I needed to do
was unclip the bottom and pull down each
leg so that each leg would get longer. The
most difficult thing about using the tripod
was doing pan shots as often it may be
very rough therefore making it extremely
difficult to get a smooth shot to use.
Overall without the tripod our piece would
be awful as it allowed use all to get steady
and effective shots.

6. Visual Presentations.
Throughout the process of constructing
this task I used blogger numerous times
as a way of keeping everything that I used
and needed in one place. I attempted to
make this as visually appealing as
possible and mainly used Prezi and
SlideShare as ways of presenting
information whilst keeping them visually
attractive therefore easier to read. Both of
which are simple and the only thing that is
required is the information on what you
are writing about and knowledge on how
to embed them on your blog. Overall both
were used on numerous occasions and by
using them a lot through the creation of
this project, I intent on using them more
often in future projects.
