WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?

Hardware
In this process I used a variety of equipment and software that I have never used before or even heard of. Primarily, we used I macs to set up our Blogs and do all the software based stuff.

A really big problem was using the E05 Cannon camera. Nobody in my team has ever used it and we struggled using it from the preliminary task. We had teaching into how to use is and taught ourself from the web.

Lights was another problem. We hardly used it in the preliminary task so using it now was difficult. Again we used web to help us get that orange glow to it.

Software
Sony Vegas Pro 11

Sony vegas pro was used to help edit the typing sound of the titles used in the final movie (check Editing Post for more details)

Adobe Photoshop Cs5

We used adobe Photoshop Cs5 for minor editing like annotations and print screen edits. We also made the poster on in photoshop

Microsoft Excel 2010

We used excel to format our data collected in the planning stage and process it into charts and graphs to see patterns and give conclusions.

Adobe After Effects CS5

In my opinion this and the camera was the most complex piece of technolgy I used in the production of our movie. It was so complex and detailed. The typing effect was made all by me which was quite satisfying if i must say instead of just adding a effect to it. The process of getting use to editing keyframes and keeping contingency was difficult and long but in the end became worth it.
