6) What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of creating your product?

As I did not study media for GCSE it was hard for me to come intoA level without knowing how to use the Macs,Cameras,Livetype,Final Cut and everything else but in a slow process by using the equipment every lesson i got more confident inusing them.

In the starting line in creating our opening to the thriller we started to go into more depth into using Livetype and Final Cut which was good as we learnt new things on how to create voice overs and also how to pan images and merge them into one another, it was much easier in live type to set the mis-en-sene and also the shot angles on how the audience would re-act to each shot.As the lessons went on i discovered how to use all the equipment for examplein the Preliminary Task i used the video camera and also uploaded to the computer this improved my confidence in using the Mac. In using the mac is very different to using any other computer as the key board and the computer in general, in using the Imac in every media lesson i got more confident in discovering new things on it and became aware on how to use the different technologies in which are built in for example. live type and final Cut.
Also when filming we used the video camera in which was new this was a challenge for me but i think i coped really well and learnt quickly on how to zoom in and out and pan the shots in using the Tri-pod. By using the video camera i learnt how to use it properly and also i learnt how to change the effects and the different angle shots by using the tripod and just having a go on it, by doing this it gave me more confidence when it came to filming the thriller as i new the different angle shots in which the tripod could do and how the video camera would work and the effects on it.
We used Blogger which is the image above, this is were we uploaded our photos and planning and research on what we have discovered and all of our opening shots and coursework, this shows how we have developed our skills in using blogger and became more confident in uploading photos and editing camera shots to give an idea on how we have improved our use in blogger, also when uploading the photos in which we have to describe and edit to show how we have developed our skills in editing and planning the shots. I also embeded a few short thriller opening sequences that gave me an idea for our thriller opening and how there composition and mis-en-scene is all connected and how the shots flowed together.
