Question six: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
In the process of constructing our opening sequence I learned a lot about different technology.
The first was that I used blogger. I was completely new to this and so I had to learn everything from scratch beginning with how to add posts to my blog. Throughout this process I have learned not only how to add posts but how to make them look more interesting and attractive by uploading pictures and videos from YouTube.
I had to learn how to use the camera (what camera is it?) in order to film the sequence. We experimented with using different lenses, this was a trial and error process that resulted in us using the bigger lens as this provided a clearer picture when zooming in. I also discovered lots of new features on the camera that we tried experimenting with such as the timer which allows a countdown before recording so the actor has time to prepare before filming. I also discovered that using the tripod made filming a lot easier as it keeps the camera still.
Finally I had to learn how to edit the opening sequence using an old editing software called Serif MoviePlus X6. I found this difficult as I have been used to using iMovie and so I was unfamiliar with the way this new software. I had to use the new software as we did not have iMovie available when editing and the camera we used was not compatible with the iMovie software. Through using the new software I learnt a number of new and useful techniques such as how to add effects, music and text which were complicated processes.
