Evaluation-question 6

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


Since the start of the project my knowledge of technologies has increased and I have learnt new things as well. for example I gained a better knowledge of final cut express's features (title animation and image layover). I also learned about uploading to youtube in a new way and through a mac. I also gained a better knowledge of the canon mini dv MD101 pal cameras, transferring tapes from the DV camera to the mac and a better understanding of storyboard quick 5 along with more of an understanding of soundtrack pro. equipment wise i understand the camera we used much more and I now know how to fully operate the tri-pod.

here are images of the software and equipment we used:

Here is the website blogger, which whilst I have heard of and seen, I have never used it so this was a new experience.
Here is the camera we used, although I am familiar with it, iI gained a better understanding of the camera during the project.

This is a fire-wire cable which is used to transfer movies from the dv tape, through the camera and onto the mac.

This is a dolly, which whilst we did not use it in making the film, we learnt about it and how to work it should we need to use it. 

This is the make of tri-pod that we used to film, when it came to filming I learnt how to fully work it.

This is the program "Soundtrack Pro" which we used to compose the soundtrack and sound effects for the film. When it came to making the film I did not know much and I still do not but I gained more of an understanding of the program.

This is the program "Livetype" which is what we used to make the ident, titles and the ending words. During the project I gained a much better understanding of the program than before.

This is the website www.youtube.com which is the medium we used to upload our films. I learned that I had to use a whole different way to upload videos to this website than normal.

This is "Final Cut Express" which is the software we used to edit the film. It is better the most media editing software as it is more professional.

This is the software "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. i have had experience with photoshop before but not much with this version so I gained some understanding of it.
