Learning New Technologies Through Product Construction
1. What have you learnt about technologies
from the process of constructing this
product?
2. • Through the process of constructing this product I have learnt how to do
many different things and used different pieces of technology that I hadn’t
used before. I hadn’t used a proper camera before and I had to learn that
different cameras worked in different ways so some you had to focus
yourself other wise the image would go fuzzy and wouldn’t be good to
use, and others did it automatically so you didn’t have to worry about the
focus you could concentrate on weather everything was in the right place.
3. • I had also never used Photoshop before so I had to learn from others and
teach myself how to use it which took a lot of trial and error and
experimenting with the different tools and effects. Even when it got really
frustrating I knew that I had to just keep powering on and find out how to
do something and when I did work it out it would feel like an achievement!
4. • The macs were also something new that I had used a little bit before but not
too much, and they were different to what I had used before and their
temperamental nature took a while to get used to.
5. • Another aspect that I used and had to learn how to do so was lighting and
lighting rigs with umbrellas and a backdrop. Making sure the light was
shining in the right way to give the right effect so bright lighting to make it
look like it was outside, or lighting that didn’t blind my model but got
enough light on her face. Also ensuring that they were out of shot.
6. • To show my work and the stages of my work, and also progress on my blog I
needed to figure out how to make a blog and make posts and find different
ways so show my work that was interesting in not just lots of block text by
using things like Slideshare, Prezi and Photopeach
7. • I also learnt how to create a scene that included all of the mise en scene
elements that I needed to create the right set through considering all of the
scene and how to make it look how I wanted and fitting with my genre.
