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

These are the pieces of equipment that we used.

As well as all the different pieces of equipment we used, we also used various programs. these programs allowed us to add sound and add final details to our movies and other tasks we were asked to do. We also used macs to do most of our editing we used apple mac and the MAC OS X operating system, if found this program really easy and fast to pick up and in no time i was coming to grips with all the different software.
I think that the school chose mc because of the range of software and how easy it was to use. over using Microsoft.




We used many different programs for editing which included: Final cut, Sound track, After effects and Youtube and blogger.

Blogger:this was a great site to use because it allowed us to upload all our work to the blog. I used blogger as a way throughout my media program this year. I decided to use blogger over other archiving methods like a scrapbook due to bloggers features which allow you to correct old posts and also embed videos, images and sound. I had never used blogger prior to media studies but i feel it is a great free-to-use website and allowed me to upload with no problems every time. It was also easy to compare blogs with others and find out what was missing and things we had or hadn't done.

Soundtrack Pro: I used sound track pro on the introduction of the film Panic Room. This was great practice for when I came to use the application for my own opening sequence. I found this effect quite hard to use when I first started but as I got used to it I found it very enjoyable to use.  Soundtrack Pro is a great piece of software with a large amount of features which enabled me to add to my media product. Without the availability of Soundtrack pro, I wouldn't have been able to insert the music that I want to overlap my film.






Final cut pro:I also used final cut pro this software allowed me to put my final film together and cut out any unwanted parts. Final Cut was used to capture, edit and export our media product. Final Cut  is a non-destructive editing technique in which if any problems the original footage had.
I also used final cut in producing my mundane task, this allowed me to practice using it for when i did my real movie.

Youtube:we used YouTube so that we could publish all our media . We were able to publish our video for free and we were then able to embed our videos too our blog with screen shots as proof. Before uploading our video onto YouTube, I had never uploaded a video although having a YouTube account. I found YouTube very easy to use and was a great way to publish our film. 

After Effects Pro: we used After Effects to produce my production company logo and to add in different titles into my final film such as actors and producers names. as well as the other programs we begun experimenting so that we had the knowledge before using it on our final film After Effects before I started this on my final film. We practiced on a film that had already been done called Mission impossible 3 and learnt all the different techniques in the  final film.

Personally i think it was really easy to use and the easiest to learn so it was quick to use different interesting effects.
