Q6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product?
The role new media played in my production was huge as without newer digital cameras
I would have not been able to make/edit a film anywhere near the quality of my finished
product. The use of Macs and Final Cut Pro was a massive part of my film making and
due to the ease of use and range of great features on these programs/devices I was able
to make a product of overall good quality. The lighting technologies available to me
allowed me to make sure my characters were visable at all times and due to the rain
that I chose to film in my camera remained fairly shaky throughout but the stabilizing
feature on final cut pro allowed me to easily combat this problem quickly and
effectively. The music I used for my film I found on the Internet and I used helpful
features from web browsers as well as Final Cut Pro to import this music into my film,
and without the music at the quality that it was my film would be significantly worse
than it is as a final product. The use of social media also allowed me to display my film
and the various edits of my film to my audience which allowed me to quickly gain
feedback on how to improve my film and I also used social media to spread my survey
from surveymonkey. Social media also helped me to reflect on my finished product
thanks to feedback via social media.
Technology did at several points however hinder my work greatly. There were times
when I would attempt to upload an edit before a dealine an due to internet or computer
issues I would be in a rush to upload it because of either how slow it was being or due to
issues with the computer crashing. My camera at one point had not saved/deleted all of
my shots from one day that I wanted to upload so I had to go out and re-film all of my
shots from that day, forcing me to get all of my actors out again, make sure they were
all dressed as they were before and wait for it to begin raining again as it was on the
first day of filming.
My planning stage was also greatly helped by technology as I was easily able to watch
the openings of many films for my analysis' with the help of sites like LOVEFILM. My

2. Surveys and other planning stages were also produced and shared with ease thanks to
the technology available to me.
