Question 7: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Some of the technologies we used to construst and update our film are Blogger, Imovie and Garageband. These all played a different but vital role in the production of our film, we used Imovie to construct the order of the clips we had filmed and also edit them by cutting them down to a suitable length, also to edit the brightness of some of the clips and to add some of the titles (the produced by). We used Garageband for the production of our music to be added to the film. We also used Blogger to keep updated about what we had been doing in lessons and throughout the week or what we planned to do in the week and to also add any inspiration that we found for our film. Because we had the access to these different technologies I think this gave us the chance to be more creative as we had not used any of these technologies before and it gave us a chance to use something new with new features, such as Garage band, this gave us the opportunity to create our own music using onscreen instruments and software like a keyboard. Also Imovie gave us the opportunity to use different effects and transitions to apply to our horror film. I also think having the access to these technologies gave us a lot more control over the structure of our piece as we got to create our own music to fit our genre and we were able to edit the clips to fit typical ideologies of the horror genre e.g. making it darker. We also used the internet the research target audiences and previous films and music for inspiration of our final film.
From making our film I have learnt that from how different technologies work together it is very effective in the production of films, I have also learnt how difficult and time consuming it is to produce a film from different technologies.
