technologies in the process of
constructing this product?

2. Filming
During the filming of our product, I learnt several things about
the technologies used to film productions. For example I learnt
how to use a camera more efficiently, how to create effects such
as zooms and pans and how to manipulate the camera to produce
images you want to produce. I also learnt several things about
the uses of microphones in production for example the
relationship between the position of a mic and the sound heard
on film. The understanding of these complexities allowed me to
produce a more professional looking production. Other
technologies such as boom poles and tripods were also used in
production and the production experience helped me develop
skills in the use of these types of equipment. I also learnt to
importance of quality equipment as many of the things I wanted
to do would not have been achieved nearly as well had I used a
3. Editing
The editing process also thought me a lot about
technologies. I learnt how to use several high quality
pieces of software like Final Cut pro and Motion on the
Apple Mac. In these programmes I learnt how to create
and use several things for example titleing, transitions
(audio and visual) as well as use several video effects. On
FCP I learnt overall how to manilpulate and work with a
piece of media and how to produce a proffessionally cut
piece that works in ways that make your production a
much more sophisticated piece of media. I also learnt
how to use web-technologies such as blogging websites to
keep track of my production and make sure my
production process is more organised and therefore more
succesful.
