"What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?"
We used a Panasonic HDC -SD90 video recording camera. Neither me nor Clare had used this camera before properly, apart from in our preliminary task. However, it was compact and easy to handle. We picked up the techniques needed quickly and without any problems.
For stability, we used a tripod. We learnt the tripod had three different heights. It also had features which enabled us to pan a shot, zoom and tilt. We found that even though it was a hassle to carry around, it was an essential part of our equipment because it ensured our film looked professional.

In our product, we used several types of technologies. We used Live Type for our fonts. We did this because it gave us a range of fonts, and effects to improve the outcome of our main title and opening credits. We learnt how to create effective titles, linking to our genre, using this programme. We gained knowledge of LiveType, which could be useful in future projects. We are sure we will use this again.
For our production company logo, we used Photoshop. Clare had previous experience of Photoshop, so she guided me through the techniques and skills needed for the programme. We used layering and colour dilation, to increase the intensity, and the professionalism of our finished logo. We learnt that Photoshop can be used to modify objects to become their full potential.
To edit our opening sequence, we used Final Cut Pro. We think this was the best software to use for our opening sequence. This is because the software is very modern, and has all the applications and effects necessary to make an excellent opening sequence. From using this software, we learnt how to put credits over a black screen, and have them over the opening sequence.
