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

I am new to media and the technologies that come with it. At the start of the year i had never used or even touched a mac computer before. I thought that they would be the same as a normal computer, but i was wrong they are more complicated because they can do more things than what a standard computer can do and even better things. Now i have learn how to switch on the mac and use the settings needed to edit my opening sequence. Without knowing how to do this it will be very difficult to put our clips for my film together.
 I am also new to the blogger website. Blogger is a website where you write up all your coursework and ideas which you have for your coursework on so you can visit it where ever and when ever you want. This has been very helpful to me because it is a place where i can store all my coursework and put it online and can access it on another computer without needing a memory stick. This also helped me gain trust from my class mates because they can access my account with the same power over it as i have, so you need there trust so you know they will not ruin or delete and of your work.


  One of the most important things to know in media is how to use the cameras and how to set them up correctly to go out and film and take pictures. I knew how to use the cameras but i didn't know how to set them up correctly at the beginning of the year. But know i no how to do both with ease, this makes it a lot easier for me when i want to go out and film and possibly take photo shots. If you don't know how to use a camera properly you will more often than not have to go out again and re-shoot the shot because it hasn't been done properly. This could be because it isn't in focus or that the camera is moving when you are trying to take a shot. I had a little trouble with this at the beginning of the media but since i have been using the cameras on a regular basis it has become easy for me to do now.

Websites such as sound cloud, free sound and YouTube has helped with creating the product as it allowed for me to find the appropriate music for the editing of our sequence. This has helped me out because it is easy to find music which is needed.

When we started our opening sequence and went out to film we had to make sure that we were set up all the time with the correct equipment because we were short on time and we needed to do this so we didn't waste no more time. Important things which we needed when we went out to film were things such as the 

Memory Card' without this we wouldn't be able to transfer our footage onto the Mac's so it would be pointless in us filming. 

 

 'Tripod' without bringing the tripod we wouldn't be able to get our shots with the full range of accuracy because the camera would constantly be shaking and this will give us no chance in perfecting the shots. The tripod can also go to various different heights so it can be used for low angle shots and also high angle shots so it has flexibility in the type of shots it can be used for.








'DSLR Digital Camera' without a camera you wouldn't be able to film and record your footage so it is very important that this is taken. The camera can be used to do extreme long shots, establishing shots and also extreme close ups because of the lenses which can be acquired to put onto the camera. They are also a very expensive piece of equipment this is because of all the technical things which come with it.

The picture which is displayed here is the camera set up along with the tripod and it working together.

Overall a list of new technologies which i have learn in media are things such as: 
Blogger
Tripod 
DSLR Camera
Imac computer 
Premier software
