What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?
I feel that my media skills have come a long, long way since I started back in September last year. I am now far more familiar with the technical terms and generally feel a lot more confident.
Whilst creating this product, I had to ensure continuity. I managed to make this a harder task for myself as I chose to film outdoors in the evening. Luckily, on the day I filmed the weather was exactly as I had hoped. It was beginning to get dark, it was also rather blustery. This accompanied the mood of my film extremely well. Of course, I wanted to get the filming done in one evening as it was unlikely I would get the exact same weather conditions again. With a few minor hiccups, I managed to successfully film my piece in just over an hour. Doing this also avoided many other implications. For example, if I found that I had to film over the course of a few days, I would need to ensure that everything on location was set out in the same way it was on previous days - this would have been an extremely difficult task because being on a beach meant that things would change that I could not help. Not only that, I would need to make sure that my actress looked exactly the same as she did on previous days.
I have learnt about the different shots and angles and how they are used to create different moods and atmospheres, and how some create suspense and intensity. As well as this, I have become more familiar with the iMac and its' features. Through trial and error I have familiarised myself with the transitions, how to insert sound clips, edit movie clips and add titles that have a specific effect on the production genre.
