I have learned about using many different technologies when creating my film product. Here are some of the key examples of what I learned throughout.
I have learned a small amount of using my camera. I have learned how to add its anti shaking effect when filming shots and zooming the shot at just the right depth. I have used my camera a lot for filming before but this was completely new for me and it was good to use it in this way. I also learned about how I can improve the shot detail within the camera to change the effects of all the shots so it gives it an enhancing and effective effect when the audience views the scene. I am much more confident about using my camera and will use it a lot more in the near future.

Another thing I have learned to do is getting sound files to add into my film for effect or soundtracks. For this I have used my everyday home Laptop and a website that just downloads them into a sound file after converting them to which I could save on a memory stick and import them into my film. This was vital to making my intro as effective as possible because if I couldn't get the sounds I needed the intro would be a complete failure. I have also used my home Laptop to update my blog, which is also a new thing that I have used. I have learned how to use Blogger as well, which has helped me a lot to update information of my project and keep a good record of everything I have done so people can see how I have used it. I have also learned how to use some of the features on blogger, like importing Pictures and Videos onto my blog posts so people can view them and see my visual examples.

Lastly I have learned how to use the apple mac's and the systems on it, to make my final production intro. The systems I have used on the mac's include the following, IMovie, IPhoto and ITunes for all the things I need. Firstly I used I movie to import all my film footage and edit them al together, which I knew very little about during my preliminary task. However over time of editing I learned how to trim shots, lower the sound in the shot and add transitions between the scenes. I am now incredibly confident to where I was at using Photoshop and editing all my footage on my own. I have also learned how to import pictures onto the mac using IPhoto, using my memory stick. This time though unlike IMovie, where I had some experience, with this system I was very unsure about what I had to do in order to put the pictures into I movie. Eventually I saved the pictures I needed into IPhoto and was able to add them into the film and make them into a key part at the start of my film which I was struggling to achieve. Finally I learned how to important my sound files onto the mac through ITunes. Again ,like IPhoto, I had very little experience of how to use it so I had to take a lot of time learning how to use it. Eventually after some period of time I finally Important all the sounds into the system and added them into the film as files. However I also remembered how to add simple files from IMovie itself into the intro so again, it was another new skill that I have learned.

Now with this section completed I will move onto Activity 7, the final part of my evaluation of my media product.
