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

I have learnt a lot about the technologies used in the film industry during the process of construction my opening to a fiction film. Firstly, the usage of a video camera and an SD card. I had never used a video camera for an extended period of time before and this was a very interesting and useful experience. Within using this I also learnt several techniques whilst using it to obtain different shots and camera angles. 

When we began editing we worked on an Apple iMac using the program final cut express. I had again used neither of these before. I feel that I have learnt a lot in the development of my product.  I think that the most important thing that I have learnt is how to edit match on action perfectly, and how to sync the audio with what’s happening on screen, like the gunshots fired in my finished product. 

I think that I have learnt a lot about the technologies used in the film industry, especially with the production. Without having editing software our final product would have been of a very poor quality, and would not be of the same standard. This has made me realise how important the technology is to the industry.
