The document discusses the technologies learned from creating a product. It summarizes: 1) They learned to use an unfamiliar video camera, teaching them about framing subjects. 2) They learned higher quality cameras produced clearer footage, and how to use quality to their advantage in scenes. 3) Using unfamiliar software like Adobe Premiere and Photoshop taught them how to edit footage, add effects, and create titles with motion and placement.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Firstly, we had to use a video camera that we were not familiar with. Learning to use this camera was easy enough, and taught us about the importance of framing, as we had to watch the footage back and practice the best ways to frame a subject in still or movement. Using the video cameras taught us about the importance of the camera, and how the quality of the original footage can affect the overall outcome of the film.
We learned about the quality of the videos as well, as we had filmed on the video cameras and also filmed one of our videos diaries using the Canon EOS cameras, and the quality of these cameras were much clearer and sharper. This taught us about how to use the original quality to our advantage. For instance, if the image was grainy, it could be incorporated into the dream sequence at the beginning of our opening.
Also, we used software that we were not familiar with. Using Adobe Premiere CS6 to edit our footage was difficult at first, as we did not know how to cut the footage to the length we wanted, and once we overcame this obstacle, we learned how to apply effects we wanted to the right footage, and how to blend it in effectively so that it did not suddenly cut from monochrome to vibrant footage.
When creating our main title we used Adobe Photoshop CS6 to create the text and create a transparent background, to then add it back in to Premiere. We had to open all four separate images and add them in to overlap, and then begin to ‘play around’ with the motion and placement of the words. We had to move each word the smallest amount to create a surreal look to mimic the state of the protagonists mind. Here is a screen print taken when we were editing using Adobe Premiere CS6.
• I also used Blogger and the internet, to complete my research and create my online coursework. Without being able to use the internet, I would not have found the videos and sources necessary to create our own piece. Also, it helped as I could browse many forms of online media, and could try the best ways to showcase my research and, as shown here, my evaluations. • Here is a screen print taken from my blog:
• Overall, we have learnt how to incorporate new technologies to create our final piece. We used software and cameras that were unfamiliar, and managed to learn and use them to the best of our abilities.
