Question 6

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

To answer this question I decided to have text with images because it is easy to expand on details but it still keeps it interesting.

I have learnt a lot about technologies from constructing this piece. One piece of technology I learnt a lot about is a camera. The camera we used is a ... I learnt about how to use different features on the camera to get different effects from it. For example, I learnt about how to use the different settings for shooting different scenes. This meant for the close ups I could use the portrait setting which made the image quality better so we could see the actors emotions more clearly. This is the camera we used.

Another piece of technology I learnt about was editing software on a computer. For editing our opening sequence we used Movie Maker 6 Plus. This is easy to use so was great for my group as we haven't got a lot of experience in editing. I learnt a lot about how to create smooth transitions through editing two shots together which helped a lot with match on action in our piece for example when the main character is looking through the post box. I also learnt about how to crop takes more finely as we needed very precise cut offs for the ends of scenes and for example when the door shuts and the music stops which also helped me learn about editing sound and adding in sound effects which was ideal for th crashing sound effect from the basement.
