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

All of my filming was done wth the aid of a mini- DV digital SLR camera in which we did all of our filming straight onto a mini tape. Even though we didn't have high tec equipment we were still able to perform various proffesional tecqniques with zooming in and out changing the focus of the camera or it's depth of field. Once we had completed filming we were able to manipulate our images through hooking the camera up to a computer and capturing the filming from the tape and into a program called premier pro (this was the first time i had used a video manipulating software like this). through the use of this program i was able to eddit the scenes i had captured and construct them into a film which flowed and had concistant transitions between scenes. through the process of adding various visual effects i changed the film from being in colour to black and white in order to give it an urban feel. i was also able to costruct fade ins and outs at both the beggining and end of the film. I also incorporated a sound track which i felt enfasise the theme. One of the things which i learnt and i feel will be extremely usefull in the future was how to upload a clip onto youtube and then transfering that onto my blog. I had some problems with the technology as i created a voice recording of me giving a commentarie of the film and reviews from my target audience onto my mobile phone but had trouble with uploading it onto my blog and run out of time.
