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

Technologies used throughout our project.

Creating the opening sequence allowed us to work with various devices of technology. The first technology we used was "Blogger" the website used to create this blog. Blogger was a completely new experience for me as I had never blogged before. It did come with some hindrances but all in all was an easy experience.

When filming the opening sequence we used two different types of camera. The camera in the TV Studio, a Canon XF 305, was used for the interior shots. It was easy to use as it was a HD and we could control the shot from the remote on the tripod. The second camera was a handheld video camera which we used to film the exterior shots, which came with a tripod to allow control of the filming. After finishing shooting we transferred the footage to the computer in the editing suite to begin the editing process.

The editing software we used was called Adobe Premier Pro. As I am only an AS student, and had not done GCSE Media, the editing was a completely new experience for me. Upon ordering the opening sequence, we experimented around with effects, to enhance the footage and make the camera changes as less obvious as possible. After editing the footage itself we added sound, non diegetic music, and louden the gun clicks, car doors, etc.
