The document discusses what the student learned about technology from creating a film project. They used Final Cut Express to edit together video clips and sync the music. They also used Garage Band to create original music for the film. Creating titles and getting clear dialogue were challenges. Overall, the student learned how to use video and audio editing software like Final Cut Express and Garage Band to produce a film.

2. What we decided on
We chose to film our film on a day when it was clear so it was not too
dark or sunny and which would've made it hard to see for our audience.
When we were creating the music for our film, it took time to come to
terms with how to do it but eventually we made some music to help
build tension in the film. We then put it on to the final cut software
with the film and made it fit in where we needed it. We made our film
on final cut express which took time to learn but we eventually found
out all the short cuts to do it.

3. The technology we used
In making our film we used final cut express to edit our film. We used the clips we
filmed and put them together to make it run smooth and to make the music fit in
with it as well. The camera we used was a Panasonic HDCHS80 which we found easy
to use and move around. We quickly learned how to film as it was very easy. To make
our music we used garage band as we wanted to make our own as we knew what
sound we wanted to create. We also created questionnaires and internet research to
find out what our target audience would be.

4. Successes and problems
The main success we had in producing the film was in the editing of the film as we
needed to piece all the shots together to make it run smoothly. The advantages of having
the good technology at the college made it simpler and quicker to do.
The things we found difficult in making the film was producing the titles to put in the
film as it was very time consuming because we had to rendered the film a lot. The
dialogue was a struggle in the group as you couldn't really hear the dialogue well enough,
so we had to shoot some of the shots again so we could hear the dialogue better

5. What did I learn
From this project I learned how to operate final cut express and be able to make a film
run smoothly.
I also learned how to use garage band to make the music I needed to suit the film.
I also learned how to use a camera better and more professional.
