Fadila Kara- Question 6

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

 Throughout the making of  this  project  I  have had  to  familiarise  myself  with some  of  the  features  that  are  on the  Macs. As when it comes  to  making videos  I  usually use  Windows Movie  Maker  which accessible on  window XP  computers.  I  found that  there is   a gerat difference  betwen the  features  that your  abke  to  use  in both softwares as  Windows Movie Maxer  is very  basic  and  it  does not allow  you  to  merge  music  like  I Movie HD does. In adittion i  found that  the  the layout  of  I Movie HD  is  more  easier to  use   as when it came  to  importing the  fottage that  we  had filmed  it  mushc  easier  to  drag certain clips in to  the clip pane. And it was also   find  certain clips  after  cutting  particular parts  of it.  

  Furthermoew Even though  it was  very  long  process I  found   that  once  we had finished  making the opening  it  was really easy  to   export   and make  it  accessible  on  social  networking  sites like Facebook and  YouTube, so that  I  could receive  feedback  interactively  by  our  audience.

    We  used this   when we  edited, as we  included transtions  such  as  fade in or fade out  to create an  effect  for the  audience, and to  also  make it easier  for us to  link  certain scenes  together. You can also  use it  to add in the  titles  in which we were  originally  going to do.  However  we then ended  up  getting  inspiration from the  psychological thriller " Seven"  and  made our title  sequence in a form of  a diary.

   When it  came  to  music  we did  encounter some problems  as the music we  had to use  had to  be  copywright free. At first  we found it  difficult  to search for  music, and  when we  did there was  a problem  with the beat  which made  it  less psychological for  our audience. Moreover we  then decided to  take it  out  and combine two  diffrent types  of music but  there  was still some  minor problems  with the sound levels.  However on the last day we  a  member of  our group  lucklu  managed to  find  music which captured  the  innoncence  of  our  main charcter.  

     Morover  in terms of  cameras one new  thing  that  had learnt  how to  use  was the  tracks and  the  doly  crane .  As  we  used them  to  follow  Joesph the love instretst  in our  thriller down the  corridor.  At  first  they  were  very  tricky to use as  we  found it  difficult to push it  along  and  at the same time  making sure it was steady. However   after practicing  four  times  we  were  able to  get  it  right and  when we did  audience feedback we found that  the majority  of  your  audience liked  that scene.
