The document discusses the equipment and software the student learned to use during their course, including Mac computers with programs like Final Cut, iMovie, and GarageBand. They also learned to use Flip HD cameras and tripods. The student feels they quickly learned to effectively use all the equipment, which was valuable for creating a realistic opening title sequence for one of their tasks. They used Final Cut to edit the sequence, LiveType to create titles, and GarageBand to make the soundtrack before exporting it to Final Cut.
