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

Whilst making our 2 minute opening I feel that we have learnt a lot about technology.

First of all we made our own accounts on Blogger, this has enabled us to decide on what our film should be about and also to publish our ideas.

We created a script on Celtx which made it look more professional and also helped us to learn lines as it was in an easier format to read.

When we began filming we all learnt how to use the camera safely and practically so that we could all film at different point and use lots of different camera angles to make our film better and add suspense where we needed it.

After re-doing some of our clips because of the sound quality, this taught us about the level of noise in the background that the camera would pick up and also helped us decide on clips where the sound was better. This is something we were less successful with but practiced at.

^Accessible on Apple Mac's.

We used Final Cut Express to edit our film and make up tutorial. From this we learnt different uses of transitions and also how to cut certain bits of our film. We also learnt how to put the necessary  text on our film for titles and credits. This made our film look more professional.

To get feedback on our film we posted the link to the video from YouTube on to Facebook to people of our target audience and some people who weren't.  This got our film noticed and gave us the feedback that we could improve upon should we do it again. This helped us learn that technology was a good was of marketing our product, which was successful.

We used a zoom recorder to get the diegetic sounds of the deep breathing (From the person in the gas mask) and also to record the scream at the end of our film. We were less successful with this as it took us a few tries to get it right so that it would fit the time frame we needed for our film.
