What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt so much about the technology involved in producing this film! Before we started the task I had no idea how to use the video camera, the movie maker on the Mac or even the tri-pod. It was pretty simple learning about the camera, you just experiement and eventually work it all out. Same with the tri-pod. However, the Mac I can still get lost in, I think it just takes longer to pick up, especially when you have grown up always using Windows. I have learnt about the camera shots and the effects they have so you know which angle when you have decided the general mood of that scene. My favourite scene of our movie is definitely the start, with the panning shot of Amber walking up a street and entering the house through the side gate. It is a nice, easy opening that runs smoothly and sets a scene for the rest of it. I have also learnt from this, that I have awful time management skills! You will be able to tell this from my blog, but I am much more the type to do nothing for months and then spend a day catching up. The problem with this is you always end up leaving stuff out and even random thoughts which could have been developed into great ideas are lost. However, you may have a random amazing thought in a place where you are unable to access the blog. For this reason, I would definitely rather be traditional, and have done all the research & planning and evaluation on paper. This way you could later on jumble it into the right order so it isn't automatically sorted by date.
