Evaluation planning notes

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

*Technology has played an integral part in the production of our opening.
*We were provided with a video camera (the canon mini DV MD 235) from school, it used tape and we assumed it was an old piece of equipment so we tried using our phone cameras and a cheap digital video camera but it turns out that the camcorder supplied by school was actually the best in audio and video quality and had the smoothest zoom.
*We found it a bit hard to navigate at the start and it was annoying having to rewind rather than skip.
*So we learned that just because something is a little outdated, it doesnt mean it's obsolete.

*Computers and the internet played and integral role in the pre and post production of our piece.
*With the internet we could research anything we needed at the click of a button. We used youtube to analyse openings to other films, wikipedia for information. We used (cite free music site) for one of the tracks.
*We also had to keep blogs, I believe this was a new experience for all of us, but we found it much easier to organise as opposed to a coursework portfolio.
*We used iMovie to edit our opening, it is a rather user-friendly program and the simple things like cutting, fading and adding music were a cinch. Importing the video from our camcorder took a long time though
*And we had to make sure we exported the video in the right file type so that we could upload it to youtube.
