EVALUATION QUESTION 6

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



To conclude we have learned a lot about the technologies from the process of constructing our product, as many we had never used or had little experience with before.  Our greatest advancement in skills was with Final Cut Pro, as we quickly learnt the most effective and coherent ways of editing our film. However we also learnt a great deal from the cameras, aiming for the most visually stunning shots using the rule of thirds and shooting from various angles.

While filming we struggled the most with lighting, as the batteries ran out very quickly. Luckily, due to our past experience, we remembered to bring multiple battery packs, which allowed us to continue filming.
Reflecting on our filming day 2, we also greatly struggled with sound as we found out after the shoot that our camera had not recorded any. This made us realise the importance of using an external mic recorder, to have a clearer, extra layer of sound.
From our experiences in the project, I believe that we have learnt a lot, and so in our future ones we will not make the same mistakes.
