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

When i first started thinking about what our film was going to be about and starting the filming process, the only thing i could do with technology was film a basic video. Trough-out the filming and editing process, we learnt how to blog our entries, edit our film and convert it. We used many softwares such as blogger, final cut express and MPEG Streamclip. It was also a new experience using the Mac's as myself nor harrison had used one in this way before.

Being in a partnership with Harrison was useful as he had done filming through-out GCSE last year meaning he had some basic knowledge in useful camera angles and how to use one effectively. I used a JVC camera which the school provided for me while Harrison used his own Sony Camcorder he brought from home. This was useful as we could film the same shot but from different angles to see which one was better - there fore giving us a better end result.

Once we had finished filming, we went onto editing using Final Cut Express. This was a completely new software for me and Harrison to use meaning it took us a while to get to grips with it. We have learnt to use such effects as changing the brightness of the clips, making things slow motion, changing the colour to black and white and also learnt how to render scenes meaning we could watch it on final cut.
