What have you learnt about technologies from the 

process of constructing this product?

The first thing we had to do was make a g-mail account and learn to use blogger so we could keep a log of our creative ideas and film making. 

We then started to integrate pictures and videos into our blogs to help us get points across and also made our blogs more interesting. (EXAMPLE: opening sequences analysis).

Using programs such as as Prezzi and Go!Animate also made our blogs idea more interesting, and allowed us to break what would be big chunks of monotonous text into easily digestible chunks. (EXAMPLE: pitch to investors).

When it came to making our preliminary we had our first experience of the filming equipment; Sony HD DVC cameras and tripods. (EXAMPLE: Flikr pictures on Sam Richards AS Media Blog).

When editing our preliminary we had to learn to use Final Cut Express for Mac. We also learnt how to add sound into the background of our clips and manipulate them using effects. (EXAMPLE: Final Piece 'Downfall').

To do our directors commentary we also used a microphone and garage band to record and smoothen our voices. (EXAMPLE: Directors Commentary).

We also used Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 and also Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 to create high quality logos and posters. (EXAMPLE: the solitude Logos and teaser posters).
