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

Media technologies i used and what i learnt:

1)Tripod

Through the tripod i learnt how to set up a tripod firstly by using the clips on the legs to open it up. I also learned how to ensure the camera would be steady by using the spirit level within the tripod. These are both important factors of learning when using a tripod because they help to ensure the shots will be filmed correctly so the audience understanding is contained.












2) Digital video camera

From using a digital camera i have learned how to film using the grid to make sure everything is properly positioned in frame. I also learnt you cant move the camera too fast as it will stop filming and say yourpanning too fast. I also learnt that when filming you cant zoom in as you loose focus on the camera and it just doesnt look good on film.











3) Apple mac

Through the apple mac i learned how to use the software to edit my film, i also learned how to 'take a picture' of a particual piece of text or a picture (this would be print screen on a regular computer) to put it in a document or on my blog.






4) Portable light generator

(our light was not exactly like this but this picture gives an idea to the equipment)



Through this light i learned how to manipulate the light to add to the horrific feeling of the film. The light also helped me to depict the childs zombie like features and behaviours to the audience.


5) Youtube

Through youtube i devolped my knowledge on how to share videos to the world, however the downfall of this is you dont know who is watching your videos.



6) Facebook & Twitter & Blackberry

Through social networking sights such as facebook and twitter we could gather a significant amount of audience feedback and also direct it at your specific target audience. Through the use of a Blackberry i could also gather audiences research by broadcasting my video link to a specific audience. I also learnt that blackberry is a good source of communication for our group to keep intouch with eachother through 'bbm' (blackberry messanger)

7) Slide share & Scribed

 Through these programmes i learnt how to upload my word and pwerpoint documents so that i could embed them and put them onto my blog.


8) Imovie HD

Through this software i learned how to discover and develop editing skills so i could produce my video to a high standard. Particularly I learned how to put effects on my film so it could fade out at a certain point, i learned how to change the colour of my clips to make them black & white, cut my clips at certain points so they all follow a particular order and make sence together and edit the lighting within my clips to make it darker or a particualr part within the frame lighter. Also i learnt how to put non - diagetic audio into my film to add to the meaning behind the film and lastly i learnt how to mute certain parts of the diagetic audio within my film if i needed to.

9)Itunes & Clip converter

Through i tunes and clip converter i learnt how to convert audio from a copyright free site and download onto itunes in order to place it onto my film






10) Blogger
Through blogger i learnt how to blog and embed certain bits of information in order to show off my knoledge and make my blog as interesting as possible.
