2. TECHNOLOGY CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE
• I learned that it is of the utmost important to make multiple copies of
every file to prevent loss of data in the event that something unlucky
can happen such as corruption or theft etc.
• I learnt that it is important to use high quality computer components
when editing to hasten the rendering process such as an Nvidia GTX
970 graphics card, lots of Ram DDR3/DDR5 and have a fast processor
to make sure that my computer is able to process all of this
information and that if special effects are needed, that it can cope.

3. RESEARCH INTO PROPS
• I’ve learnt about not only technology to do with editing software, computer
components, photo editing software etc but I also had to do a lot of research into the
props I was using in the film itself which not everyone may even realise.
• An example of this is the last scene of my clip when the survivor opens fire on the
bandit, many people asked me why I didn’t add muzzle flash effects (gunshot flash) into
the film, however this is because the prop had a flash suppressor (pictured on the right)
is an attachment in real life that removes the flash from a gun when fired. This is an
attention to detail not often seen in large budget films let alone a small budget
independent one.
