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

For the construction of this product Guy and I were forced to utilise different forms of technology to successfully create the best final product we could. Alot of the technologies used were initially alien to me personally, from the Nikon camera to the editing software used, but over the course of the production i became familiar with them and learnt alot about the new technologies presented to me.

The Nikon camera was a completley new piece of equipment to use for and Guy. It took a while to get used to filming with it and making sure it was on the right settings and we capturing all our shots with the right amount of focus and lighting etc. I personally had had experience with using the camera already when filming part of the preliminary task however that was very minimal amount of time so was no where near fully capable with it. Over the time we spent at the location filming Guy and I both got more to grips with the camera and in the end we very able in using it to full effect. Therefore this meant when we had to return later on in the filming process to get more shots we could easily dive right in and use the camera with ease.

Something we also used to coincide with the camera was the tripod. This was no where near as difficult to get to grips with as the Nikon and was very simple. However I learned that it definitly made for creating better more steady and more proffesional looking shots. I saw the difference as in my prelimoinary task I didnt utilise it as much and seeing it used extensivley in the final thriller edit made a massive difference.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC was the editing software Guy and I used to put all the incredible shots we took with the Nikon together for all 3 drafts and the final edit. This as with the Nikon was completely new to me and to Guy and we were forced to have to figure it out with virtually no knowledge already about the software. However with the help from the teacher and continuous use of it we eventually understood it and managed to edit, what we believe to be, a very good thriller opening sequence.
