Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing

this product?

Blogger When doing my pre production tasks, I had first had to create blog on the website ‘Blogger’.

As I had never used this website, or even had a blog before, I had to learn how to upload all my posts from other websites such as Slide share and Prezi, which was vital in bringing all my work together.

Premier Pro

Premier Pro was the program I used to edit my film on, which I was also new to using at the beginning of the course. It was very important I learnt how to use this this, so I had to practise before editing my film. I learnt how to cut and change clips, import my footage, render, add music, adjust sound clips. I also learnt to export my work once I’d finished, which I learnt had to be a specific file type to be uploaded to YouTube. There is still a lot more I need to learn on Premier pro, such as using After effects, as I only touched on some special effects in my film.

Slide Share

I used slide share for my blog. It converted my word documents into a up loadable version to blogger. I had to create an account to use it, which I then uploaded my documents to it, either privately or publically, which I learnt had to be public to show up on my blog.

Prezi

I used Prezi for the first time when creating my Genre Analysis. I created a mind map with different sections on my thriller research. I had to create an account for this which was free. From this I had to learn how to put it on my blog through a URL code.

Camera skills I had used a camera before hand which were similar to the camera I borrow from school for my film. I used a much better quality camera, 1100d camera making the shots very clear. I learnt how to connect a Microphone onto the camera which was new to me, which picked up the voices to make them louder as I wasn’t used to having actors speaking in video.
