what have you learnt about technologies from the process of construting this product?







I have learnt a lot technology in the making of my media product. Firstly how to use the camera appropriately, I have learnt how to capture the film on tape and upload this onto the editing software Adobe Premier Pro, this is simple but obviously very important to the editing of my film. Beyond that I have learnt how to use the camera efficiently and effectively in different situations, for example when to use auto/ manual focus, when to use night mode and when to use a tripod. Also importantly where to position the camera in terms of the best lighting effects, meaning what’s important is clear to see and adding shadows in the background to create that mysterious feeling. I have made use of web 2.0, for
researching my ideas. Especially ‘YouTube’ which has helped me a lot about other Thriller texts as being able to watch them online as they are easy to access. Another technology I learnt a lot about from scratch was the editing software Adobe Premiere pro, including cutting my footage, editing it by using effects and different transitions. I also learnt how to import music and cut it to fit with the film, beyond this I learnt and applied how to import music and fade it in and out. To import this I used http://freeplaymusic.com/,


which had a wide range of free music for different film genres. Finally I would say I learnt more about using the computer in general, from creating a research power point , updating my progress blog and using the internet for in depth research, about real film products. I have learnt more skills in the editing process and using adobe premier pro to enhance my film and its effect. It has also it has taught me how to use and apply allot of complex technology in the production of a film and how real producers would have to really understand and be confident with technologies to create a good film. I think that from practising with technology my confidence has grown, allowing me to experiment with them more.
