Evaluation 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

In filming i learnt a lot about cameras and the use of cameras. As the camera it was a great learning curve, so i had to adapt and i felt i learned a great deal on camera work and shots. The software we used was Adobe Premiere Pro and as i used this in GCSE ICT for two years i was very comfortable with this product.

The software Adobe Premiere Pro was so useful and easy to use. We used it for altering the colour contrast. We did this because we filmed in the night so obviously it was dark so that was an issue at first, but due to the easy use of the affect, we got the video looking how we wanted to. Next we used Adobe for affects like fade and various other effects. We used effects to increase the visual appeal of the film. Without this product, i believe our film would not had been as good. 

To be honest i had never really used a camera before nor had i wanted to, but i had to considering i was the cameraman. At first it was confusing and difficult to get the hang of, but the more i used it the more confident i became. It was a very useful piece of equipment and it was helpful.

Google was the main search engine we used to find information about are plot, similar films, genre and character stereotypes. Obviously Google was very helpful.

I used youtube firstly to look at horror trailers and reviews for some insight into how to produce, portray and present our opening sequence. Then i used it to upload the finished sequence. I learnt how to add annotations to the film for the viewers. This was very helpful as it links in with our evaluation tasks. 

We used this recorder to tell our audience how the film was going to be produced. It helped that the recorder had great quality and that it was easy to use as i`ve never used it before.

Generally i`ve never bothered with sites like this before, so i wasn`t used to it, but eventually i got the hang of it. I learnt how to change the layout of my blog and the colour scheme of it. Just generally transferring different file types to blogger so its compatible. Log and edit all of my blogs in case of doing something wrong.
