What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product?
2. Final Cut Express
Pros
Had many helpful
features to apply to
our film, such as
edits, text and
transitions.
Cons
It was quite hard to get
to grips with at first.
Rendering took a lot of
time, and didn’t always
apply the changes we
had made.
I have learnt how to put together different film clips, use editing, to
add text and colour edits onto our sequence, and how to incorporate
Garageband into our final piece.
3. Mac Computer
Pros
Easy to use after
practice.
Already had Final
Cut Express and
Garage band.
Fast internet and
loading times.
Cons
When saving
something it can only
save to that specific
mac. It would have
been easier if it
could save to an
account so that we
could have used
various Macs.
I have learnt how toused different applications on the mac , such as
Final Cut Express, Garageband and Blogger. Without the Mac I would
have been unable to complete my final piece.

Pros
Had a good library of
sound.
Helped us create our
own sound for our
opening sequence.
Helped give a
professional touch to
our opening
sequence.

Hard to get to
grips with at first.

transfer into Final
Cut Express.

and length of a clip and add text and how to add to our opening
sequence and how to incorporate our Garageband piece into Final Cut
Express.

when work was
created.

all of our work.

videos into our blog, and I have learnt how to document my steps
throughout the making of our final piece.
6. You Tube
Pros
Easy to use
Makes our film able
to watch wherever
we are
Cons

allow videos to
upload
Quite time
consuming whilst

7. Film Camera
Pros
Easy to get to grips
with.
Had good features
such as the flash
and focus, which
helped with the
professionalism of

out quite quickly,
