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



Throughout the planning and creation of our opening sequence our group used a variety of technologies. During research and planning I used blogger, which is a website used to create  and post blogs onto. I also used the Macs, which are computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. When creating blog posts we needed to make them super visual and in order to do that we had to use different websites or techniques such as prezi, slide rocket, slide share, bubbl and go animate these different technologies improved my creativity. 







Throughout filming our opening sequence, our group regularly used a moving image camera, a HD camera and a tripod. 
We used a moving image camera to film all of our shots. For example:













We used Rae's HD camera to film the shots of Rae walking towards the abandoned house due to the fact that we wanted to get a good quality of the surroundings and of her. For example:












We used the tripod for every shots as we wanted to reassure ourselves that the shot were going to be steady.

When editing, we used a numerous amount of technologies. We used the Macs, Livetype, iMovie, Final cut, Da Font and Free play music. The Macs were easy to get the hang of. However, I found Livetype and Final cut particularly difficult as they both had alot to offer in the idea that they had too many things to do which made it very hard to work with. Once using iMovie a number of times I found it easy and fun to use. Due to the fact that we were not allowed copyright music we had to choose our soundtrack from the website Free Play Music. I had never used this website before but after a while I understood how to use it and we were able to find a piece of music appropriate to our genre and plot synopsis.
