Through constructing their thriller product, the document's author learned about various filmmaking technologies: They gained experience with editing programs like Final Cut Express and LiveType, as well as hardware like cameras, microphones, and lighting equipment. They also learned how to properly use this equipment to shoot exercises focusing on cinematography and sound. Additionally, the author learned to utilize internet sites like YouTube and DaFont for research, uploading videos, and custom fonts.

1. Evaluation Question 6
What have you learned about
technoligies from the process of
constructing this product?

2. Technoligies
• During the process of making our thriller, i
have come across and learnt about many
differnt editing programes, hardware,
cameras, microphones, and other filming
equipment.
• I also had to learn how to use daFont, Blogger
and Prezi.

3. Hardware Equipment
We started by learning how to use the camera
equipment properly-
Our first camera exercise was a very good first
attempt for beginners with a camera.
Throught out first exercise we did notice some
continious errors that we wrote about in the
blog post when we filmed it.

4. Sound and Lighting
Another exercise we did was on the sound. This was
much better than our previous exercise. We looked at
using lots of different types of sound, digetic and non-
digetic, contrapuntal and parallel. We learnt how to
use the clip on mic and how to use the one built in the
camera we filmed with. We learnt the hardway how to
not use the clip on mic and unfortunately, our sound
exercise has some very serious sound issues!
We also learnt how to use the light boxes and the real
filming lights. As a class we made a collective clip about
this.

5. Preliminary Task
• At the end of learning about all these different
techniques, we gatthered these together to
make one film that would involve sound, and
cinermatography. This tuned out to be one of
our best exercises yet. This was one of the
short films we was very proud of. It involved
all the ements of a film, sound effects and
digetic and non-digetic sounds.

6. Programs
• Final Cut Express: this is the program we used to
edit all our films. It was not very easy to use at
the start and as a group we struggled a little
getting used to the Macs and how the program
worked. After that, we became very confident
with it.
• LiveType : This is what we used to make our
company ident. This program was the hardest to
use out of all of them. We was very limited to the
things we could use. We only used this for our
ident because it was so difficult.

7. Internet Sites
• Youtube; we used this as a source of research by
looking at other thrillers from the past, clips,
trailers of real films and looking for the perfect
sounds. We also upload all out clips and short
films there too.
• DaFont; This is the site we used to get fonts to
use at the begginings of our films. I had used the
previously and it has always been easy to use. I
also go back to this site when looking for fonts.
