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

Imovie is the main software that we had to use to create this product and we used it to edit our opening sequence. I had experience of using in my own time out side of school and when we made our preliminary task. We imported the clip that we filmed from the camera, and then organised it in order so we knew how our opening sequence would look like. The we cropped the clips so that the timing was right and it didn't look jumpy, but some times this didn't work to how we wanted because the clips we filmed jumped so it was hard to make them flow, therefore we decide to use transitions to make it look smoother.

We also used LiveType, this software was a bit harder to use than imovie and we also used it for the editing process. At first i was only able to make clips with text that when imported to imovie wasn't able to fade over the clip from where it had a black background. Then i tied to find out how to put a writing over clips and i finally found out that you had to export the one clip you wanted the text to be over then make it as a background on LiveType. This ended up working so we decided to put most of our titles and credits over clips that we wanted.

Itunes was the software we used to upload our music on to so we were able to put them onto our opening sequence, and from where itunes is connect to imovie once our music was on itunes it was easy to get it up on imovie.











We used a camera to capture the clips that we needed, and we could also look back at then to see if there was any other clips that we needed to film.












This is the wire we used to upload the clips we recorded to imovie. The wire plugged into the camera and to the computer.














 We also used a tri-pod to hold the camera steady. It also help move the camera left to right steady, where as free hand it would be quit wobbly.















The mac was another main part to help us edit our opening sequence, the reason for this is because all the software is on the computer.








This is a screen grab of blogger. I used the blogger website to publish my work and communicate with my group. I also recored all my research and information from the questionnaire's i asked to find the target audience for thriller genre.





We also used youtube to upload our final product and blog updates, which we posted to blogger as well to show a verity of way to put my work on my blog.
