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

We have learnt about a lot new technologies that we had to use in order to make our film opening media product. In order to put our film opening together, we used Premiere Pro on the computers which we had to learn about before we started exporting our clips into it as we didn't know the ins and outs of the programme that we needed to know. Once we got the hang of it we started being able to import the clips to make our film opening and start editing it and creating titles which we then fit into place. This process took a long time and was Premiere Pro was the programme that we used to most for our media product as it held all our project together and we had to  make sure this was done correctly.

In order to film our media project we used one of my group members cameras' so that we knew how to work it and we had someone that knew everything that we could do on it in terms of filming. On some of the scenes we did, we had to make sure that the camera was held steady and in position. For this we also used a tripod that my other group member brought along to the location of our filming which helped us greatly. This helped us position the camera in places that we couldn't hold, for example the sitting positions of the main characters that are low to the floor which we wouldn't have been able to keep still being handheld.

The other part of our film opening that was a big part was the voice over of the main character throughout the whole of the film opening. For this we had to record my voice in the recording room into a microphone. For this we had to learn about the programme that we had to use in order to record our voiceover effectively, which was Audacity. A music teacher helped teach us about this before we began to record that day. The whole of my group had to help at the voiceover for the volumes and to start and end the recording as we did it in sections so that we got each line correct. After the recording was complete, we then imported the file onto Premiere Pro and began to fit it in place with the clips of our film opening and titles.
