technologies from the process of
constructing this product?

2. Technologies Used
From filming our media film, we have learnt a
great deal about the different technologies
used in media. The obvious and most
important one, the camera, is easy to use but
hard to master. There are many of different
shots, angles and tricks to make shots look
different, artistic and creative, and to use
these techniques correctly to improve the
overall film can be challenging.
Finally we used Adobe Fireworks to edit our
images, it was the easy available and having
experience using the software it was an
obvious choice. While using Fireworks we
learnt how to use the software more in-depth.

3. YouTube is another website I am more than
familiar with, and knew how to use this easily.
The website Blogger was new to us at the
beginning of the year, but the site was easy to
understand and I managed to be able to work
with it to host our content and display what
was needed easy enough.

4. We also began to use the editing software
Adobe Premiere Pro. I have had little
experience with this program in the past,
so we found it somewhat easy to use
because we did have a basic knowledge of
the program and how to input effects and
simple video edits. I did, however, require
assistance with some of the aspects, but I
managed to find this easily through the
use of online tutorial programs on the
internet.
We have used a lot of different software and technologies to
complete our media piece, but with all of them we found that we
had to save and backup our work as all technologies may crash and
have errors. We encountered many issues from technologies
including batteries running down faster than expected, software
crashing, internet connections failing and work being lost, thanks
to this we are now a lot more cautious and plan ahead for
situations when technologies let us down.
