Evaluation - Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
The technologies i used were as follows, Blogger, Final cut express, mini DV digital cameras, mobile phones (with cameras), Google, Wikipedia and Survey monkey.
Firstly i am going to talk about my experience with Blogger, i used Blogger because this is what the course required, Blogger is a online blogging site in which i had to update daily like a diary, this was first updated with the description of the course and what we had to do during the course. Then we watched films during our first few lessons and which we had to write up about them and what we liked about them etc.
I also used another software called Final cut express, this is where we created our actual 2 minute of our thriller and also we used this software to create our titles, before i started my course in media i had never used Final cut express before and so it was completely new to me, it has various editing effects that we used for our thriller. It also allows you to capture clips that are on the video camera that you have plugged into the IMac.

To create my thriller i used a mini DV Digital camera, this is the camera we used to capture all of our footage of our thriller film. I found these very easy to use, and because they have microphones on them we did not need to use an extra one as the sound from the camera was enough for our thriller.
During my blogging i had to use wikipedia to help me find useful information about some film directors which include Alfred Hitchcock, i also used wikipedia to find out information about the films i studied during media and without this source i would not of known all of the casts names in the films.
Finally the last piece of technology i used was surveymonkey, this is where you create your own survey and then you are able to share it on social networking sites or to your friends email addresses where they can fill out your survey and give feedback. I used surveymonkey because i had to get feedback on what other individuals would like to see in my thriller and what genres they enjoy the most.
