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

 The construction of our 2 minute opening sequence taught me a lot about technologies. I feel that the skills I have when working with both hardware and software have improved significantly over the process.

Hardware

For the construction of our opening sequence, we had use a number of different hardware technologies. This included:

• Camera - Cannon Legria HFG30
• Tripod

The table below details my overall experience after working with hardware.

Software

We also had to use various types of software technologies particularly for the editing process:

• Adobe Premier Pro CS5.5
• LiveType
• Audible

This table details my overall experience after working with software

In conclusion, I feel that my ability and confidence when working with technical equipment, both hardware and software, has improved. This was especially the case with software, as my biggest technological challenge came when working on the Adobe Premier Pro software to grade shots. After, consulting with my fellow editing partners and the media technician for help, by the end of the process I was able to confidently grade shots to create desired effect and atmosphere. Additionally, I am now aware of the benefits to using certain technologies instead of others.
