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

I have learnt a lot about technologies from the process of constructing my horror film opening. I learnt how to use Adobe Premier Pro to edit and add effects to my horror film opening including transitions, titles, special effects such as ghosting and sound effects and music. I also used Adobe Photoshop to edit photos of danger signs and the trees through changing the colour contrast of photographs, the brightness, shadows, sharpness and tints. I have also learnt how to use the 'magnetic lasso tool' which cuts out part of the image creating a better effect.

During the process of filming we had to learn to adapt our equipment to the darkness as well as filming on the move and in different locations. This involved changing the angle of the camera to high angle shots, close ups, tracking shots and tilt shots as well as adjusting the tripod. We used a digital camera to take photographs for our title sequence, which potrayed the sense of danger throughout the film, a video camera to film our footage and a tripod to place the video camera on, which also secured the camera in place and enabled us to film the footage steadily and easily.

As we filmed i took photographs on my phone as it is good quality of 12.1 megapixles. In order to share these photographs with the rest of my group i uploaded the photo's onto my laptop using a USB cable and then uploaded them onto facebook.

As well as all this technology i used google and YouTube for researching horror films in planning and research and obviously blogger to show all of this.

Overall, the main thing i learnt was how much we rely on technology in the twenty first century. If we didn't have this type of technology then the production of our horror film opening would not have been possible, and we would have been very limited in the resources in which we used.
