Evaluation Question 6

What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 

  Throughout the process of constructing this product, I have learned how to use different types of technologies. 

  We learned to use hardware such as the digital camcorder. I enjoyed learning how to use this. I found it tricky to hold still in order to gain a still shot. Thankfully, we also had a tripod. This made it a whole lot easier for us to film. Another piece of hardware technology we used was the microphone. We did not use this in our product but in our preliminary task. 

  We mainly used one software throughout the production of our product - Final Cut Express. This was used for editing filming and to help post our storyboard on YouTube. 

  We also used different websites. For example, we used YouTube to upload all of our videos. We uploaded videos such as our Preliminary task, our behind the scenes footage and our final product. We also used websites like Survey Monkey to take surveys for our thriller and to gain information. 

  I have learned a lot overall. I now know how to record a film and upload it on to YouTube with the help of software such as Final Cut Express. I also learned how to record from different angles and which angles are best suited to certain scenes.
