Evaluation Question 6

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

One of the major things I have learnt during this project is the use of Final cut express (FCE), on this programme I learnt about all the tools and gadgets used to edit a series of clips to make a constant sequence. I learnt how to use the effects and add them on my clips, this helped with making the opening sequence look and feel like a horror and not just a series of clips put together randomly. I also learnt about other things on the programme such as what the letter meant:

I- mark in, O- mark out, this was used for cutting sections out.

B- This was also used for cutting but I found this a lot simpler because you click on the parts you want to cut and just click delete afterwards.

Another new thing I learnt about during this project was how to use blogger, this was where we placed all of our work and anything we felt was relevant when we were planning, researching and all the other things, we learnt how to integrate things like YouTube videos, files off scribd, prezi and a lot more programmes and software’s.

Another new programme I learnt to use was prezi, this was a mind mapping programme which enabled you to create all sorts of mind maps which looked a lot better than the simple pencil and paper ones, I learnt how to add videos, images and files onto the presentations which helped me present my work in a much more effective way.

We also learnt how to get files of word and PowerPoint onto our blogs by using scribd which had an embed code of our work so we could publish it onto our blog as evidence of us doing work and doing research for our main media project.
