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

Throughout this project I have learnt a lot about both software and hardware technologies. I have expanded my skills and techniques when using it, but also, i have learnt which pieces of technology are more effective and useful.
In the 2 Prezis below I have analysed the technologies we used, listing pros and cons for each, and then I have come to a conclusion on whether or not I would use it again.

What I have learnt from each technology:

     Canon Legria HFG30:
I have leant how to film rushes professionally on a digital camera, using tools such as a tripod,
a clapperboard, a dolly and a microphone. I have understood that this style of camera is becoming very popular among amateur filmmakers due its affordability and is meaning the film industry is becoming much more accessible for the wider public.

     GoPro:
Due to the style and nature of this camera i learnt a lot about new technologies and how they are widening the scope of creative possibilities in the film industry.

     Adobe Premiere Pro
Through using this program i learnt how to cut together a film sequence. I also learnt a large range of smaller skills. I am now able to; create a split screen using key frames, use exponential sound fades and rises, create lighting fades, use transitions and grade footage.

     Livetype
I have learnt how to create titles and animate them and then export them to another program (Adobe Premiere Pro).
