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

YouTube was a very helpul website because we were able to watch film trailers and clips of films without having to buy the dvd. I also found it very useful that we were able to share videos from YouTube on our blogs.
I used Google and IMDb to help with my research into different genres and films. IMDb was very useful for finding out about what genres films belonged to and finding the synopsis and plot of some films.







After being introduced to this website, I have found it quite easy to navigate. Once I learnt how to publish, edit, delete and add pictures to my posts I grasped the concept of blogging quickly.







The music we composed for the last section of our film sequence was made in Garageband and we then had to import it to iTunes. The track was quite easy to make and we grasped the use of the technology quickly.














Whilst in the process of editing our film we used several different applications from the Apple Mac computers. Most of our film was cut and edited using iMovie HD. The software for this took a while to get used to, but once we knew where everything was and how to do things, we managed to edit our film with ease. The only problem we came across in the editing process was when we tried to add an effect to a clip, which we ended up not being able to do because the size of the clip was too big. But I feel as though my confidence has grown a lot since our preliminary task when it comes to using this application.
