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

2. Planning and Research
1. YouTube
I have been using YouTube all the time as I use it for listening to music
and watching for free videos online. And also I used it for this project to
look for a film opening video to analyse. So it wasn’t that hard to use it
as all I have to do is just copy the embed code and paste it into
Blogger and it will just automatically load up on the screen. I can get
access to this website easily either at school or at home because it is
not banned.

3. 2. Camera
I use this hardware to take photos of our locations,
props, costumes and actors. This isn’t hard to use
because I have use this technology since I was 11
yrs. old and I do Photography in A Levels. I have
learnt how to adjust the settings and how to take
a good picture.
3. Google
I use this software to do some research on target
audience, still images, blogger, etc. This is a good
software for research because it offers a list of
websites that you could go on to in particular.
This isn’t hard to use as I use it most of the times
and all you have to do is type in to the search
engine.

4. Construction
1. Video Camera, Microphone and Tripod
Using a video camera wasn’t hard when I was filming our media product
because we did a preliminary task before so I got used to it and I know
what I need to do. I have to think about what kind of shot type and
angles I will use but it wasn’t that difficult as we already planned what
we are going to use. We used a natural key lighting so it wasn’t hard for
me to film as I don’t have to adjust the setting. We could have put the
microphone of the video camera on mute because we didn’t really
want some sounds in our clip.

5. 2. Premiere Pro We used this software when we did our media
product and it wasn’t that difficult to operate
because we used it when we did the
preliminary task to put all the clips together.
Even though we did quite a lot of editing, it
wasn’t that hard as we used the same
transitions for the video clips. However, it was
hard at start when we wanted to do the edits
on images as we want it to zoom into our
female protagonist face. We had to click on
different things and we have to make sure that
the black border is hidden. As the time goes by,
I got used to it and I find it easy to use now.
3. Sound Booth
I didn’t find it that hard to operate the sound
booth as we only have to press a few buttons
and click on record for recording our narration.
And when it is finished, we just have to listen to
it just to check if there are any sounds that we
want to get rid of then save it if it is alright.

6. Evaluation
1. Blogger
I have used this website before as I like blogging things
about something. Therefore, it isn’t new to me and
hard for me to use when I do my evaluation, planning
and research. I know how to upload images or videos
on this. I know how to change the layout, fonts or
colours if I want to. This is an easy access for both
school and at home as long as there is an internet
connection. At first when we created an account for
media at school, there were some technical problems
as a lot of people made an account at the same
server.
2. Slideshare
I have used this software recently and it isn’t that hard
to do. Because I just need to make an account and
upload the PowerPoint that I want then just embed
the code and paste to Blogger.
