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


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


I have used a variety of different technologies in order to create my product, without these technologies it would have been extremely difficult to create my sequence and other aspects of my product. For my research and planning blog I used Mac Computers in order to complete my work, the benefits of using a Mac is the easiness of the actual usage of the computer. On the Mac I used different websites in order to create visual work for my blog. For example I used the website Tubechop in order to take a particular section of my video and incorporate it in to my work , this benefited me as I could easily take only the wanted parts from my sequence to make an easy to view clip which highlights what I wanted to analyse in my work. I also used the Macs ability to screenshot, I was able to screenshot certain pieces of my opening sequence which meant I could comment on them in my work. If it wasn’t for websites such as Soundcloud and Freesound , our opening sequence would not have been the same as we gathered all of our scores and sound effects  from these specific websites , without this technology then we would have had to make the scores and sound effects manually , for example finding someone who would be able to compose and perform a score for us , this potentially could have been very expensive , not to mention incredibly time consuming .  Our titles incorporated the usage of the web programme Photoshop; with Photoshop we were able to make our distinctive hand print logo which differentiates us from our other competitors .
