1. 5. What have you learned about
technologies from the process of
constructing this product?

2. Camera
 At first during the prelim I found it difficult to use the camera.
However during our main task handling the camera was not
an issue. We knew when getting establishing shot we
needed to be calm and steady so that the shots don’t come
out shaky. We also managed to get a variety of different
camera angles and shots to meet the conventions needed for
a film opening.

3. iMovie
 We used iMovie to edit our film. We cut a lot from our clips when editing
because we wanted to have relevant dialogues and shots. We also
added titles so that it fits the typical conventions for a film opening.
 iMovie is a good software to use because it enables you to copy, paste,
cut from clips, we can change the volume of the dialogue to make it
louder or quieter depending if we want to hear the background noise.
We can also drag and drop the clips onto the timeline on iMovie which
enables us to play the clips and see if they work well together.

4. Garageband
 We used garageband to create the soundtrack for our film opening.
On the right side of garageband, there’s keys
which have different genre and type of
instruments. When you click on one a list of
sounds appear we played around with these keys
till we found the sounds that where similar to what
we wanted to create.
Garageband always used the

wanted the track

used the time to
create a
soundtrack on
garageband that
would be the
same length.

5.  When satisfied with the soundtrack produced we saved it to make
sure its saved on the macs, then went to ‘share>export podcast to
iTunes>save’ The sound track was saved to iTunes. From there we
went to iMovie and clicked on the music logo and our soundtrack
was there.
 This is not a complicated software to use as it enabled us to save
our soundtrack quickly and retrieve it easily so that we can upload it
onto our film.

Recording:
We recorded the
dialogue between
Shaun and
Rochelle via a
dictaphone.
When we recorded the voice over of
Rochelle we had to import the
recording onto iMovie.
We saved the recording on iTunes, then
imported onto iMovie, then dragged it
onto the clip.

7.  The applications that we used to edit and produce our film opening where
very useful. For example the iMovie; its very dependable as our film gets
saved automatically onto the macs, so we don’t have to worry about not
finding it and starting the edit again. Also when we finally finished editing
our film and everyone was happy with the way things looked and
sound, uploading it on YouTube was not difficult also.
 Overall I’ve learnt that technology has advanced a lot throughout time
especially with the help of web 2.0. Without the software’s iMovie and
Garageband I don’t think we would of created a decent enough film
opening to submit to the examiner.
