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

From start to finish, the whole group have taught ourselves with the help of others how to use all the software, equiptment and cameras.

We first learnt how to use our blogs. After creating our blogs and desinging the way we wanted them to look, we could then start posting work, research and basically anything that would help in the prject, we could upload onto the blog.

We had our first experience using the cameras and tripods when creating our preliminary exercise. This also led us to learning how to use Adobe Premiere Pro the editing software we would be using to create our final video. The more and more we used the cameras, tripods and editing software, the more familiar we became with how the program worked and the way we could produce a video including affects and transitions to convey meaning to the audience.

After producing our Preliminary Exercise we realised that we needed to adapt how we shot and edited our film as it was not up to the standard we were hoping for.

We also created a YouTube channel which we had never done before. This was quite simple to complete although we had to Name the channel and organise and label it correctly.

Afterproducing the preliminary exercise we then produce our own uinique remake of the openign scene to the film 'Juno'. Although this wasn't necesary in the course, it enabled us to adapt and boost our knowlede of how to created proffesional standard videos.

When recording our main task, we decided that we going to use a HD camera rather than a normal camera. Using the camera was fine and we didn't hit a problem untill trying to export the video. The format of the video when exported would change the video back to standard quality, so we decided that we could just use the standard cameras that are easier to use.

We also wanted to produce an animation for our production group name that we could include in the start of every video we created. After researc and watching video copilots, I was able to develop and create an animation suitable with sound affects.
