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

During the process of constructing our product we used a lot of different equipment. First of all we used blogger to keep a log of all our work that we make and to show evidence for what we have done. From this I have learnt how to use a blog successfully and learnt how to keep up to date with my work. We used Google images to get images for our research and influences for our media product. YouTube was a great way to look at other film openings and find different sources for us to look at and learn how openings to films are structured. For our music we downloaded it all from www.freesound.org. This is a great website for free sounds and there is a great range for the genre of film we have chosen. After downloading the sounds we imported them into iTunes and then found them in iMovie. iMovie is the software we used to edit our film. We found this software prefect for editing our film because it was easy to use, we could insert the text that we wanted and it was good for picking out little snippets from long cuts. We could manipulate the colour of each shot, so we adjusted the brightness and the contrast to give darker effects. For our production company name we used Corel Draw, which allows you to make professional logos and other various stuff. Here we came up with the production company name seen at the start of our product.
