1. What have you learnt about technologies from the
process of constructing this product?
Question 6

2.  When constructing my film I had to take into
consideration that I needed to use a variety of shots, as
a film can’t just run with one sort of shot. Especially
seeing as my film was a thriller, certain shots such as
slow pace shots, this makes the audience feel
suspense. Most of the scenes I used were slow pace
shots to build up tension and leave the audience in
anticipation.

3. Camera shots
 At first I struggled to use the camera properly on my
own, however with practice I eventually got the hang of
filming a variety of shot with the help of the tripod. I
found doing practice shots with the equipment really
helped me. I can now set everything up and shoot a
variety of scenes.

4.  I have gained very good editing skills on the mac, I
learned to input sounds and how to use a variety of
effects on different scenes. This will be very useful to
me if I want to make another film. I struggled to cut a
few scenes and how to add sound effects aswell as
making my ident however eventually with practice I
gained the knowledge on how to edit on the mac
software. I had made effective time to learn how to use
these technologies such as the camera and software.
