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


Final cut express: 

This is the software we used to edit the video clips and put together out final videos. I learnt how to add effects and cut the clips at the right places and put them in the right places with the other clips. 


We used garage band to make the sound track to our film opening, and I personally think this was a good program because there were good beats that we had to put together with other beats to make a good soundtrack, not only did it have beats you could also get sounds for certain noises that you would need in your film opening. 












Blogger is the main website we're using to upload all our work, everything that we have done since we started media studies, from the little projects that we did to the our coursework. I think this is a good way to upload your work as it is easily viewable and it's easy to find the what you want on the blog. 


Youtube is the website that we're using to upload our videos and we have to have an account to upload the videos we make. 


We used google to research about everything to find all the information we need to do our coursework.


Live type is the software we used make the titles for our credits in our film opening, this was good to use as their were a lot of options to chose from and different types of fonts and effects.


After using all these different software's and sites we had to put everything into final cut for our final video/presentation. 

To record we used various types of equipment:


To record the clips we used a Sony camcorder that was provided by our school, it was not very difficult to learn how to use the camcorder. I think this camcorder is particularly because you can stop after each shot and delete the clip if you don't like it. It was also easy to upload the clips to the computer straight into final cut. 












We used a stand for the camera so the video clip is more steady and it makes life much easier if you're going to record on the floor and you can chose certain heights, the only disadvantage would be if you where going to record from difficult positions to get the stand into.


We also used a dolly this is good for tracking shots, because you can just roll the dolly, and when you use this the shot once again is steadier.


We also used little lights so if the lighting was bad in certain places we could add an extra touch of light to make it maybe more natural or to make things be seen better.
