1. 6) What have you learnt about
technologies form the process
of constructing this product ?

2. Throughout the whole process I have learnt new thing such as how to use after effects I used
this in the mac computers in lessons. We used this software because it is professional.
The Mac computer were a little bit challenging to use at
first because the format was different to windows, and I
didn’t know where everything was e.g. how to print
screen, how to change the font on PowerPoint etc.
The video camera was quite
simple to use. We was told by
one of the technicians a little bit
about the equipment. He
mentioned that when we
record we should rewind and
see what it looks like because
there is a chance that we
record over what we just done.
The tripod was simple to use and to set up. We used
this to that it was at the right level for our footage
and so that it was still.

3. • A key decision that we made involving technology was the equipment we used.
Using a high quality camera had a big effect on our work. We used this camera
because it was available for us as students to use and it would help set our work to
a high standard.
• All the technology we used was very helpful. A successful use of the new
technology in our production process was the use of after affects, we used that to
create credits. The font styles they had fitted with the name of out thriller title
sequence Revenge. The use of after affects allowed us to put affects on the title to
make it look interesting. When the title comes in it comes in jumbled one by one
and then comes out letter by letter. Something that was less successful would have
been the editing, e.g. when we put two clips together that was of the same scene
(outside putting me in the boot) we wanted to use a part form two pieces of
footage but when putting it together on final cut express there was a little jump, this
was a little bit tricky because of the way we filmed it.
• Through out the whole process I have learnt a lot, being able to use all the software
to a basic level and some advance things, also online computer programs such as
blogger, photo shop etc. I have also learn and am now aware about the
conventions of a thriller film, the expectations and what engages the audience.
