7) What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I've learnt the use of technology which is simplified as the matter of producing a film. The use of digital camera and the computer loaded up with a software movie maker which becomes very easy for us to edit and include non diegetic sound if necessary for our media product. All you have to do is click and drag your selected shots into the right order. This then can be cut down by editing as even someone with very little experience in editing film can manage to accomplish their task, and to a reasonably professional standard. Using other technology product such as blog site to mark certain things you may want to refer or include to later in the project such as changes in scripts storyboards etc. Having a blog also means you can plan and show certain aspects of the project to a greater detail.

It was important for us to use blogger this is because it shows evidence to the audience to how we've planned our film and who our target audience were.

Slide-share also helped us this was because we couldn't upload our work onto blog so it was easier to use slide-share in order to upload are work. This was done by embedding the codes that as required for each research and evidence from our work. It was also useful this was because if any work was missing in our file you can find it from slide-share and download and save your work onto your file. Slide-share was a useful technological process we've used this was because I've learnt new skills by uploading and embedding the codes shown onto each piece of research and evidence in order to make changes.

I've also learnt how to use I movie to edit our media product. I've plugged in the the digital camcorder and I movie begins to import my video. The I movie helped us organize our videos in to the correct order in order to see which ones were needed and which was not as relevant. Using I movie helped me get through editing this was because grouping the video clips had dates on when there were filmed. So its easier to see whether to find the clips your looking for whether to watch or edit it. To edit quicker you drag the clip you've imported than play it a couple of times to see if it needs to cut or not. It also gives different ways to add your clips onto the project. You can now replace or insert clips using single pop up menu.

I've also learnt how to upload videos onto youtube in order to get responses from the audiences. In order to upload my videos onto youtube you click share then go onto share then go onto full quality share. Its better to get full quality this is because if you have a poor quality video then the audience wouldn't enjoy the film which may distract the audience. As I've uploaded my video successfully I've copied the embed code in order to paste onto my blog. The maximum timing for our film was approximately 2:08 which means that youtube uploaded my video successfully and quickly this was because of the timing.
