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

Before using the camera, i had no idea on how to make it work and how to edit using final cut express. But then when i started practicing on how to use the camera and different camera angles, shots etc it was then easy for me. I also got the hang of how to use the final cut express. I asked a few of my class mates and they showed me basic things i could use but then i started exploring different effects which then made it easier for me to edit my 2 minute opening sequence. The only issue with the final cut express was that it would only work on macs and i didn't have a access to a mac at home which led us to a bit of a stress due to deadlines.
I have also learned how to use the tripod and how to place the camera on there. At first i didn't know we had to adjust the legs to make the tripod straight but i learned that the bubble by the tripod had to match the small dot that was placed on top of the tripod.



The software we have used to add onto our 2 minute opening were www.incomptech.com. This was used for us to add music to our opening sequence. We used a track called 'Long heaven' This was perfect for our opening sequence because it went a long with the slow flow of the drama and made it really realistic. We have also used the website www.dafont.com. This was used to add font. There were different types of font to choose from which made it difficult for us to choose from but in the end we got there. During editing i found that we needed more ambient sound in one of our scenes. So we went on www.freesfx.co.uk this allowed us to type in what sound we wanted to add. So we decided to add a dog barking. This allowed the audience to think that the dog represents danger which was the scene where one of our characters named Chloe gets bullied by Ashley.
