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

I had never used or even touched an Apple Mac before this project and it was I have learnt to use it and iMovie with a great amount of ease; not finding it very hard to use. I also learnt how to use the cameras and what shots are best to create certain themes  for example, a high shot can make the character appear venerable or weak where as a low shot would make them appear stronger or more dominant.

A challenge we came across when going out to film was when Duncan’s mum’s car broke down and we couldn’t get to where we wanted to be. This caused us a problem as that meant we were forced to do the filming elsewhere and, coupled with the snow, we had to get everything done in one day. I think we did well to get around this particular problem as we still came back with some decent footage despite the problems of before.

Our skills with the technology grew the more we practiced with it and it showed as we went through our project, cutting them together better and understanding what was needed to make it flow better. The Mac’s helped us out a lot along with the stand for the camera and the camera itself. The camera we used was fairly simple and easy to use making it easier for us to get the shots we needed. Facebook and Youtube were also helpful in showing the video to others and gaining feedback for it. One was "That is seriously good! I love the story line!! Well done =DD xx"
