What Have You Learnt About Technologies From The Process Of Constructing This Product?

Some forms of technology I have used:- Internet Explorer: aided research

- Phone: to photograph and communicate with the group

- Digital video camera: to film our opening

- Scanner: to upload images of the pre-production sheets

- Microsoft powerpoint/Windows movie maker/Youtube etc.: to present my information in various ways

- Adobe Premier Elements: to edit our opening

- Memory stick: to allow our footage to be portable

Example: Digital Video Camera

I have learnt the importance of the development of the camera, to becoming digital: it allowed us to review footage as we went along which meant we could re-film anything at the time if necessary. Without this, we could have come to post-production and be lacking in footage. This would mean we would have to re-film another time which would take up a considerable amount of time and may break continuity within the opening.

Example: Adobe Premier Elements

I have also learnt how to use an editing program effectively; Adobe Premier Elements was used to edit our film. I learnt things such as - how to add credits and cut videos and sound. Without this technology we would not have been able to add a title and credits to our opening. We were also able to used a 'fade out' effect at the end of our opening.
