The document discusses various technologies used to create a film project. A camera was used to record footage and allowed zooming and focusing, though it had limited memory. A tripod was used to keep the camera steady but restricted movement. Macs were used to edit the footage, add music and titles, and complete coursework, though technical issues could delay work. YouTube and Wix were used to share the work and get feedback. GarageBand helped make background music. Final Cut Express allowed full video editing. Overall the filmmaker learned how to improve camerawork, editing, and avoid past mistakes for future projects.

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

2. This is the camera that we used to
record our film. It allowed us to zoom,
record and focus. This camera was
beneficial because with out having use
of this camera we would have had to use
one of our mobile phones. So having use
of the camera helped us to improve on
the quality of the film. However the pros
of the camera is that it doesn’t have a
big memory card so if we recorded a lot
of footage on one day then we might of
lost some of the footage.
 Overall the camera came in useful and
without it we wouldn’t of been able to
record the same quality of film and to
over come the problem after a certain
amount of footage that we filmed we
had to upload it up onto the computer
this is so we had all the footage we
needed.

3. We used the tripod when we were
making our film, this is for the reason
that it kept to camera still. The
benefits of using a tripod is that it kept
our camera still. This was useful
because we had no unwanted shaky
footage. Moreover the tripod was also
beneficial because no matter of what
height we wanted the camera at the
tripod was able to be changed to what
ever height we wanted. However the
tripod did have some drawbacks, this
is because when using the tripod you
had to stay in one place this is cause
you were unable to move around
freely.
 However the tripod fulfilled its purpose
and we did not have to move around
with the camera much this is because
we worked around the problem.

4. The mac helped us to complete our course
work, whether it was to make the music, edit
our video and complete our site. The mac
was beneficial to our work because it helped
us upload our film footage and then edit that,
this allowed us to put in transitions, add in
music, edit the footage and to add titles. It
was also beneficial this is for the reason that it
allowed us to create music for our video, this
was then edited over the film. Nevertheless
the drawbacks of the mac’s were that if our
mac was broken then we were unable to
complete work that was due. This then had a
knock on affect to the rest of our course
work.
 Overall without the mac’s we wouldn’t of
been able to complete our work. And the
mac’s helped out film to be at the good
quality that it is.


5. When we use the Mac’s we used a wide
range of different types of programs.
These consisted of YouTube. This is
because when we had finished out
opening sequence we uploaded it to
YouTube so we could see what he
general public thought about this video.
We did this because it is a free way of
people finding out about it. This then
gave us a response on weather or not the
film would be a success or not. So if we
did decide on making in into a real full
length film the response and help us decide
whether or not it would be worth it.

Wix is a site that allows anyone to sign up
and create a website so they can showcase
all of their work. This has helped us complete
our course work. This is because it is a place
that we can show to other people what work
we have done prior our video, and now after.
This is beneficial because now any one can
access our site and either get inspired by our
video or our wider audience can see what we
have done. However because it is a free site
our URL has the word wix in it. Also our at
the bottom of our site has a sign of wix.

7. 
We used garage band to help us
create a good background music
for our film. This is where we
were able to make our own song
from beats. This was beneficial
because we could add extra part
to our film. Moreover the sound
can heighten feelings depending
on what is happening in the film.

8. 
We used final cut express to
make our video. This is
because it allowed us to edit
our film, add the music, add
titles and transitions. Finial
cut allowed us to make our
video the best that we
could.

9. 
Overall I have learnt how to probably use a
camera, tripod and a Mac. However if I was
now to make another film I know now was to
make the footage better, how to edit
correctly. Because I have now learnt from my
mistakes.
