Question 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

The first software we started to edit our film was iMovie as we could access this from our sixth form. This software was easy and straight forward when editing our preliminary task, however we tried using this software when trying to create the split screen effect but it didn't benefit or really look how we wanted it to.

In a result to this one of the members of the group suggested using Premiere Pro CC to create the split-screen effect since he was experienced with using the software in some of his own editing background. So we used this software to finish our editing and it worked really well with getting the results we wanted.
We used YouTube to upload, store and present most of our test footage, early edits, logo trails and our preliminary task.



Google Drive was used to store most  of our files this included scanned in files and shared pieces of work. Google Drive was extremely useful because it allowed us to share files as a group and store all our information effectively.

We shot all of our filming for our final task on Sam's Fujifilm DSLR and Kaden's Nikon DSLR.  However, the quality of footage taken on both cameras were different with Sam's camera on shooting in 720p and Kaden's camera shooting in 1080p; fortunately Kaden was able to rectify this issue by decreasing the definition of his footage to 720p.


During our filming at the car park in Bedminster we used a tripod to achieve a smooth panning shot where Kaden and myself was walking towards the car. This was useful as the camera stayed steady and flowed with the movement really well. The tripod also allowed smooth transitions from one side of the car park to another.


We also used a scanner to upload written documents on to the computer. This was extremely useful to make our notes accessible online. For example the story boards we made.
