MAIN Post 12.6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

From the very beginning of the main task we have been using different technologies and throughout we have simply used more. Below is a diagram of all the technologies I've used in this task and what I've learnt from using them.



BLOGGER
The first main technology I used was on the internet and it was the blogger. Every piece of work done during this task I put onto blogger by simply creating the posts and uploading the information needed. From blogger I learnt how to upload my pictures onto the site and how to upload videos for people to watch.

POWERPOINT
The next piece of technology I used was microsoft powerpoint 2010. This helped me in creating pictures, such as the one above at the top of this post. What I learnt from using powerpoint was how to save the images I'd created or put together as JPEG files. This is simply done by saving it as a different format.

CAMCORDER
In this task the camcorder was obviously an essential piece of technology used as this is what captured the footage of our opening sequence. I learnt a lot from using the camcorder as I was continuously looking through the camera getting the right shots to match the shot list.

FLIP CAMERA
This piece of technology was used in the main task to record the audience feedback videos. From using this I learnt that flip cameras can be used to record voices and then edited to here just the voice.

ADOBE PREMIER
This piece of technology, adobe premier, was again an obvious use as we edited our opening sequence together whilst using this. From this I learnt how to add special effects such as cross dissolves and I also learnt how to get the music in sync with the action happening behind it.

YOUTUBE
Another technology I used was youtube, this was because it showed the video clips of all the audience feedback videos and the final finished opening sequence of Behind Blue Eyes. What I learnt from youtube was how to embed a video from that site onto blogger. This is done by copying the embed code and pasting it onto blogger, unfortunately however, this didn't work for some reason when I tried to on my blog.


From all the technologies I used I think I learnt a lot and they all helped in making the final media product my group and I made.
