Using Technology

Throughout the course I have learnt how to use a lot of technology. I learnt how to use the digital video camera, saw how we used lighting and frames, and using editing resources. All of these take time to learn but when u construct such a thing like our media product u learn very quickly. it was hard at first to grasp all of these new elements but when u have a group of people with you who are learning the same things at the same time you can then all help each other and if one of my group members is very confident with the camera or the editing then we would all help each other. The main piece of technology used was I movie the application that enabled us to edit and create our final piece. when using these things i learnt how to use them to the best ability I could by learning over time, if I was not confident with something lie for me I was not very confident using the camera, yet there was always someone in my group who was confident and knew what they were doing to get the best possible outcome form all this new technology. The sheer depth that all this equipment holds really helped us design and create our final piece. Especially when editing the amount of options that were available for us really helped us design this piece of work that we had been studying and perfecting from the very beginning. Also one of the main pieces of technology we used the i macs applictaion called Garage Band, after extensive research into what music we wanted we found it hard to find the right piece of music that was unsigned and fitted our sequence. I have used the application garage band before, therefore we thought we could make our music. so after many lessons slaving away at trying to get the right times so the music fiitted into the sequence. we finally then got our music, a made made piece that worked perfect in our film. we also used our own phones to take location shots and then bluetooth them to each other so we could use them in our research for our films location. we used a memory stick to transfer files from our own computers to the macs. we used a wide range of technology to get our final piece. not only did we use all these different applications of devices we learnt about them everytime we used them. therefore that perfect mix of our brains and the technology got us our final product.
