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

During the production process of our film product, I have learnt various things such as:
  • How to create a blog and add features such as polls and videos.
  • Acquiring the correct lighting for certain shots.
  • How to correctly use a video camera and the various functions it can carry out.
  • How to upload, convert and capture camera footage.
  • How to edit our filming on the machines, and how to add effects such as fading, titles and applying music.
  • How to convert filming and insert images
  • How to use Photoshop to create our film group logo and to create mock ups of our potential film title.
  • I was able to create and use a Gantt Chart effectively to keep on track and know what I had to do.
  • How to locate and download copyright free material to use in the project.
  • How to use computer programs such as Scribd, SlideShare and SmartSheet to produce things for my blog.
A majority of these things I have learnt, I didn't know during the preliminary, apart from the basic editing skills. I have also learnt that to actually produce the film a lot of planning needs to take place, and that filming has to be very organised. I have also learnt that communication is important within the group, with tasks needing to be shared out and plans needing to be made. I also learnt the importance of continuity editing from the preliminary, even though are film product doesnt use it as it is made in a different style.
