Evaluation question 6- What have we learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

During our film making we have used a wide set of different types of technologies. We used the sound booth in order for Sky to say the script and get it recorded professionally so it sounded more smooth and clear when its in out opening. We learned a lot from the sound booth because before hand none of us knew how to use it. However, Mr. Norman taught us the basics on how to record and use some of the equipment in order for it to sound its best. Whilst being in the sound booth we also had to learn a few things on the computer, whilst Sky was recording her voice into the microphone using the software Audacity, I was on the computer cutting and putting all the right clips together, so we didn't get confused when we came back to it to add it into our movie.

We also had to use a lot of equipment for the camera which was Sibels, it was a S2995 Digital Bridge Camera, in order for us to get certain shots and angles. We used the tripod, for us to get the camera at the right height during filming, this way we didn't have to hold it ourselves so it didn't come out shaky. The tripod was also helpful when we were recording round and we had to follow Sibel with the camera as it did it very neatly and made it look good.

Putting our whole film opening together, we had to use the school computers. The main software that we used was PremierePro, which was the best movie making device that the school had. Firstly, We had to get the ICT technicians to move all of the videos we filmed from Sibels camera onto their computers and they then moved them into our media folder. That's when we started to put our film opening together. It was very tricky at first because none of us had used the software before, but taking a few goes on it, it became a lot easier. Along the way we had to add in titles, we had to use effects on PremierePro, all little things that made it all come together. We struggled a lot to make our opening the standard that we wanted it as the PremierePro didn't work as well as we hoped, it was slow and was very jumpy. So we could never see our opening the way we wanted to.

We also used Prezzi in our work, this was too show our knowledge about BBFC and the hostory of it. Prezzi helped us with presentations, it was a good way to show our knowledge in a fun way and make it more enjoyable. This was the first time any of us used this software, so we learnt how to do a lot of different things on it an dit would help in the future if we wanted a fun way in presenting work.
