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

I have learnt about numerous technologies from the laughable preliminary task, through to the animatic and finally my final product. First of all I learnt how to use my 'JVC HD Camcorder', then I learnt about the match on action effect and the importance of  fluent continuous shots. I came to know iMovie for the preliminary task and its affective effects and different versions with some not being compatible with my camera which I had to work my way round, making a few trips to the Apple store.

iPhoto proved unexpectedly useful for my animatic, although simplistic and limited in the titles, it works well with photos, having a useful editing program which I coloured and edited my sketches with. It was quick and easy to use unlike iMovie which can be a lengthy fiddly process. Although now looking from, I could say, an experienced point of view on iMovie, it is a great program with so many useful tools and tricks and relatively easy to use compared to other programs.

GarageBand was also another Apple program that was hard to use at first but the more you use it, the more you get to know it and eventually is proved extremely useful as I made both my media and film studies music with it within a few hours. I also learnt how to use iDVD making dvd menus for my films and burning them onto discs.
