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

During the process of constructing our film I learnt about many technologies. During the research section of our film I used google to collect information on the genre of our film and its conventions.

I also used celtx to create a script during the planning section of our film. This allowed us to create a successful script including stage directions with dialogue. This caused successful production of our film in the filming process as actors were aware of their placement within the camera and the dialogue they had to say.

I used blogger as a site to upload my work. This helped me communicate my ideas to the rest of my group as well as embed several forms of media such as images and videos. However blogger is internet dependent meaning I could only upload posts when connected to the internet.

During the production process of our film we used a panasonic hd camcorder. It was my first time using this technology however found the filming process simple as the camera didn't have many buttons or settings, perfect for an amateur.   

When editing our film we used final cut express. I had experience working with this software from our preliminary exercise which allowed me to understand how to edit our clips. Despite this I lacked an advance editing skill and struggled to add a red overlay to our film meaning I had to use a tutorial from Youtube to learn how.
