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

Camera and tripod
These were something that were not new but we still encountered some problems and learnt new things which gave our filming a more effective finish. Whereas before we didn't see the importance for the tripod as much, this time we realised how much steadier the shots are and how this looks so much more professional. The tripod also allowed us to frame our shots much better and so the rule of thirds was always quite good. We didn't have many issues with the camera except for running out of battery but that was our own faults for leaving it on unnecessarily, we also learnt how to do an effect which merged the lights however we didn't use this clip in the end but its useful for the future.

Imovie
This was the programme we used for the majority of the time, although we had used it before we used it in a very basic way. Over time it became very familiar and we were able to learn about different transitions, we used fade in and out, editing clips by importing them, cutting them appropriately, and arranging them. Also how to mute sounds on the clips where need be and import our music from itunes or garageband. Our titles were made on here as well which we have never had to do before.



Photoshop
This helped us after we scanned in our drawing for our production title of "Warner Sisters" as it allowed us to make the writing bolder by going over in black and then make the background whiter by removing any smudges that the scanner might of picked up on.

Jamendo
This website allowed us to have access to thousands of tracks for all types of genres, we actually found our soundtrack on here and they are not copyright which was suitable for the exam board. We then saved it and from itunes imported it in to imovie which was straight away added to our project.

Garageband
We were able to use this programme to edit our soundtrack so that the beat was in time with parts of our clip, also we added a different track on to the one from jamendo and garageband enabled us to put them together and cut parts out which we didn't want and so the two flowed together.

Apple mac
All of our work was produced using Apple Mac computers.
