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

2. For editing our opening we used Final Cut Pro. None of us were familiar with the program so therefore at first we found it hard to navigate. However we were able to use tutorials we found online to help. These tutorials were both videos and written guides. The website http://www.izzyvideo.com/final- cut-pro-x-tutorial was particularly useful. After we understood Final Cut Pro more we found it produced really great results. FINAL CUT PRO

3. Another bit of technology we found helpful, especially in planning was our mobile phones. We used them a lot because of it being a piece of convergent technology. We use it to communicate with each other while planning outside out of school. We also used it to access the Facebook app on our phone so that we could contact our focus group and ask their opinions. We also used it to access YouTube. PHONES

4. Another piece of convergent technology we used was the internet. For example we used YouTube to look at existing media to help us decide what codes and conventions to include in our final piece. We also used it to access tutorials to help us understand the other technology we were using. We also again used it for Facebook and for creating a Focus Group. We also used the internet to look at music and sound effects we wanted for our final piece. INTERNET

5. In our final piece we used two different cameras. One was the Cannon D600 with the Tamron lens which we used for the majority of our shots. This lens was good for our piece as we found that we dint need a quicker lens as there wasn’t much movement in the shots. We used online tutorials to help us understand the functions of the camera. We also learnt a lot through trial and error when we were doing tester shots. We also used the Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ8EB-K as in our piece we had a few extreme close up shots. We originally tried to do these shots with the Tamron lens however we found the quality of the shot was high enough so therefore decided to use the Lumix. CAMERA
