6. What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of making this product.

I have learn many different things in doing this project and one of the main things that I have learnt to use effectively is a cam-corder, before this task I wouldn't even be able to tell you where the on button was and now me and my filming partner have managed to make a piece of work using one. I learnt many different things such as making sure the camera was the right height so that I could remain in the shot and my head wouldn't go out, also from using a cam corder I learnt you need to keep the camera steady hence the reason we used a tri-pod so this helped us to keep our shots steady and not to shake around. Another thing I have learnt when using a camera is the 180 degree rule because if the actor was on one side and then in the next camera shot he was on the other side of the camera this wouldn't look right and the audience would be confused while watching it. So overall using a camera has taught me many things and I am glad I know them now.

The next thing in which this media project has helped me to do is to edit a film sequence because this project I had never really had to properly edit a piece of film so this has been a massive learning curve for me, but i didn't take long to get used to editing film, I just had to make sure that I cut the film in the correct place not to make it look like the film is jumping area and to make it look smooth so that the audience can enjoy it without it looking glitchy or like it doesn't make sense. Being able to edit film is a very handy skill that i believe many people don't know how to do or don't fully understand so being able to do it myself is amazing and a real life skill in which i have taken away from this media project.

And finally this media project has helped me to understand that you can add after effects onto a piece of film and this has been so helpful in making our film, because in some scenes I am walking and without the fades the audience would get bored and lose interest so we put in some fades using after effects and it was very simple to do but I didn't even realise it could be done, so this has definitely helped me in developing my editing skills also, there is also many other after effects that can be used in filming such as cross-fades, flashes (which we used in our piece of film to symbolize the main character remembering the past) and many other things which help to make a piece of work looking smooth.
