Question 6 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

We have used many different technologies whilst creating our project:

Camera
We used the camera to film our project. I had not previously used a camera so had to learn all the different functions. One of the functions - the focus - became a key part in our film, as it was used as a transition in places.

Adobe Premiere Pro
I contributed my ideas as to how we would edit our film. We used Adobe Premiere Pro to bring together our shots and ideas when creating our film. I had to learn how to do; transitions, cutting irrelevant clips, and even the basics like how to upload a clip onto the software.













Blogger
I used Blogger to track my progress during all stages of creating the film; from Planning and research, right through to evaluating the final film.

Facebook
Facebook played a key part in Missed Calls, as we used it to show that Sarah had moved on in her life. This was so that our audience could relate to not only Sarah's emotions, but also the feelings of the kidnapper. Me and Laura also created fake Facebook profiles for both Sarah and Dave (Sarah's new boyfriend) to make the film more realistic.

YouTube
I have used YouTube to find relevant clips for part of my planning and research. Also, my opening sequence has been put on YouTube for me to be able to take screenshots whilst doing my blog entry. Furthermore our production company will use YouTube as our way of distributing Missed Calls, therefore, this website in particular has been useful throughout this project.

Powerpoint
We used a Powerpoint presentation when we were pitching our idea to the rest of our media class. This enabled us to show images, and have an explanation to what we were telling them.

Microsoft Word
When creating our 'Stalker Wall' we needed to print out some photographs of Lowri that we had taken in various places around Wrexham Town Centre. We used word to place a number of photos onto one sheet, which made printing them much easier.

Paint
When taking screenshots, I have used Paint to paste them onto and then crop them into a smaller/more relevant image, to make the picture more clear, and cut out any unnecessary images.
