I learned several skills related to video production technologies from constructing this product:
1) I gained experience using a video camera to film scenes and learned camera techniques like different shots, zooming, and tilting.
2) Using a tripod provided steady shots and allowed techniques like panning and tilting that are difficult without one, giving a more professional finish.
3) iMac computers allowed the use of professional video editing software and tools to complete the project, and I improved my skills using Mac operating systems.
