Evaluation Question 6

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

Before making our peliminary task I knew literally nothing about making a film but since then I have learnt how to confidently use a camera to capture footage. Also since making the peliminary task I have learnt how to edit and how to add titles to a film (as you can see on the right).

Now when I am using a camera I feel more comfortable than before, i know how to fully operate the camera on my own whereas before I would have had to ask somebody what to do. I now also know a range of different camera shots and when to use them to a good effect, this helped when making my film as I learnt to use many cuts and merge the cuts using match on action to make the film look like one fluent movement.

Now when I am editing I can do it better than I would have been able to do so previously as I have had some practise now using Corel Video Studio. I have learnt how to split the audio from the footage so that if there was a noise that shouldnt have been there then i could simply remove it so that the film sounded better. Another thing that I have learnt is how to add music, we added music over the character still shots such as the one above or to the left which we edited using the sepia effect.


Another thing that I learnt was how to use Stop Motion Pro as I used this when making the video the film synopsis that is on my blog, to begin with i didnt understand the software but after a quick demonstration from a class mate it was easy to use.
