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

2. •
iMovie
I have learnt how to use iMovie by uploading and editing videos
such as my preliminary exercise, my film opening, and various
other small projects.
• I uploaded my footage from my camera directly to iMovie and
learnt how to cut clips to the size and section that I want, and to
cut out all of the unnecessary footage. I also learnt how to add
effects such as sound, adding subtitles, and changing contrast and
brightness to give the desired effect for my film opening. I altered
the saturation of the video to make it seem more dream-like. I
saw that you could add audio effects but chose not add any. I
found it easy to use and a good basic piece of editing software.

3. Camera/tripod/microph
one
• I learnt how to use the tripod, using the extendable legs to fit the terrain
I was filming on, making the legs longer/shorter to make my shots even.
• I learnt how to use the microphone, holding it in the right place so I
picked up as little background sounds as possible. I also learnt that it is a
microphone which needs to be pointed at the person who is talking to
pick up the best sound quality (directional microphone).
• I learnt how to use the camera. I learnt how to put a tape in the right
way, after nearly breaking a camera by putting it in the wrong way. I
learnt how to wind it back to the beginning and then film on it. I learnt
how to stop and start filming and how to use the camera and a firewire
to upload my footage.

4. Blog
• I learnt how to add posts, as well as link
them to different pictures and videos. Also,
how to link it to different websites in order
to show my evaluation and research.
• I used various websites for my evaluation
such as: WIX, prezi and glogster.
• I also filmed and editing a video with a
simple story in order to create another
answer.

5. Mac
• I have never used a Mac before this, so i pretty
much learnt it all from scratch. I learnt how to
log onto the particular sites such as edublogs.
• I also learnt how to copy and paste texts and
photos, which i found to b quick and easy to do.
• I leant how to move certain things i needed for
my blog to my desktop, in order to make it
easier to access quickly.
