1. Q6. What have you
learnt about
technologies from the
process of constructing
this product?

2. Apple Mac
• I have learnt how to use their operating system
for example how to print screen parts of my video
which is “grab “ on a Mac .
• I also learnt How to save my edited film to the
apple mac and clips I needed from YouTube.

3. I Phone
• I downloaded the blogger app onto my
phone so when I took pictures of my group
filming I can upload them straight away
instead of putting the pictures from my
phone onto the computer then going onto
the internet to place them on my blog. This
made it faster for our group.
• I also used the I phone to research thriller
films while we were filming . This gave me
instant access to information and helped us
improve our opening shots whilst filming.

4. HD Camcorder
• I have learnt how to use a camcorder which is not the same
as recording on a normal picture camera, it has superior
pixel quality which gave our final film a clear, sharp finish .
This helped us gain marks towards construction section.
• I also learnt that you can play back the clips you just
recorded on the flip out screen on the side. This was useful
to our group as we needed to record each section a few
times, we could see on the clip where we had gone wrong
for example, In the beginning of the film the daughter kept
laughing which looked awful when we played it back so we
were able to quickly re shoot.

5. Internet (Google)
• Here I learnt how useful the internet is for research, for
example, finding out about distribution companies was easier
and quicker on line, researching age certificates for thrillers
and the generic conventions to a thriller movie were helped
by the internet. In general all my research and planning was
made quicker and easier through using the internet but in
particular it helped me to answer the generic convention
question in the evaluation section.

6. Blogger
• I leant how to make a blog and how
blogger is used. I also learnt how to
embed pictures, videos, power points
from Google and other sources to my blog
, this helped me make my blog exciting for
example having prezzys and voice
recordings to answer some evaluation
questions.

7. You tube
• I learnt how to upload my final
film and my draft films onto
YouTube which made it easier to
embed onto my blog.

8. Final Cut Pro
• I learnt how to edit my final film and also
my preliminary task, how to add titles to
my film for example errie red thriller titles,
add music and sound to our shoot and
also how to fade my titles in and out to
create a better video.

9. Conclusion
• I have learnt a number of skills through
using different technologies. I now
understand the technical processes
involved in constructing a film . Modern
technology has made it possible for
novices/amateurs to produce some decent
quality productions. I now have an
appreciation of the creative possibilities
open to everyone not just professionals.
