- 2. QUESTION 6 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats
- 3. ADOBE PREMIER PRO • I was able to get the basics of the program very quickly and understood the basics with ease • After getting used to the program I was able to use most aspects of the program without any issues. • This allowed me to edit my film smoothly and add titles for the name of the actors and the name of the film and add music to help create different moods throughout the film opening.
- 4. BLOGGER • I found that blogger was a simple and straightforward program to use. • I understood how to use the ‘lables’ to group pieces of work. • This allowed me to upload all of my pre – production task and embed my prelim and my film opening so it can be watched from my blog
- 5. PREZI • Before this course I understood the basics of prezi which helped me to create a basic presentation • However I learned how to add photos and adapt the layout of the presentation to suit what I needed to do • This allowed me to present one of my questions using prezi
- 6. PHOTOSHOP • Photoshop would be a good opportunity for me to further my skills and increase the quality of what I produce. • For example I could’ve photoshopped the photos used to show the characters and possibly make them more clear for the audience. • Can also be used for comedy purposes • This would improve the quality of my film after it has been exported.
- 7. ADOBE AFTEREFFECTS • Aftereffects is also a opportunity to make my product better as it would allow me to do different things with text. • Could also improve the look of my footage by stabilizing clips. • Would increase my range of shills to be used when editing other media texts. • Allow me to add more complex features in the future.
- 8. POWTOON • A weakness of mine is powtoon due to me not being able to understand every feature of it and being unable to make it do what I want. • It would be beneficial to me to be able to work it as it would be a new skill developed and a new program to use when producing presentations.

- 10. CAMERA WORK • Progressing from my prelim I was able to get familiar with Cannon cameras and was able to use all the features such as autofocus and attaching cameras and microphones. • This benefited me as I could film in the dark • This allowed me to have better quality footage and improve the quality of the clips
- 11. EDITING • Editing has improved from my prelim and this resulted in more continuity throughout my film opening. • This helped to convey the storyline better and makes it easier for the audience to understand • This improved the overall quality of my final piece.
- 12. MISE EN SCENE • From my prelim I learned to not waste any of the space on screen and that everything in the frame matters. • This improved the shots that I got and they fitted the genre. • I was also able to position my actors within in the frame where I wanted them as that is important.
