What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constucting this product?

Throughout the making of my AS product we used many different types of software's and technologies, these involved:

Blogspot.com - This is where i posted documents, images and videos about the process of this project. For example research tasks and production and editing stages.

Google.com - This is a search engine which we used for product research and also when looking for certain tutorials on certain technologies. We were able to look for useful links, video's and images

Youtube.com - helped me begin my research into film openings so I could analyse them. It also became of great help when finding a easy ways to set up a location and how to represent certain characters from following conventions.

Dafont.com - When looking at credits for the opening we wanted an interesting font, this is one of the places we searched as the font are not copyright and free

Final Cut Express - Was the programme we used to edit the film. Filters can be added, along with a variety of sounds like non diagetic music and voiceovers.

Tripods - We used the tripod to keep the camera still and not shaky as it would give the film opening an overall more professional look, although sometimes we used it held hand either to do a tracking shot or because the tripod would not be able to fit within a limited space. The tripod could be extended to a range of different heights and positions. 

Panasonic camera - It was used to record our piece and to review footage. It was easy to use and had certain features like a focus pull.

Still camera - This was used to capture images for our blog and also for research when looking in to different locations.

From working on this film it gave me the opportunity to use all of this equipment and technology. I now know how to use it with confidence and also use all of its features. The piece of technology i most enjoyed was Final Cut express. This is because i feel it gave me the creative freedom and also there was many features to play about with. I also think blogger was the most effective way to track and record my records.
