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

I have been able to learn a lot about technologies from the process of constructing this product during the filming and editing. There are many aspects to filming which I did not consider before I began constructing this product and have been taken by surprise the amount of work which is involved in making a high quality and believable film. Issues you have to consider when filming includes: Unwanted sounds that you want to dub over, the quality of the picture and how the shots will look on the big screen etc.
I discovered that the most important part of the process was the editing. I discovered the there is a lot more to film making than just filming but all the editing which is long and gruelling but pays off at the end. I learnt how to edit my film. This meant I was able to cut sections of film and put them together with either a delay of black between them to show the cut or straight after one another or even better put a few special transitions in there e.g. Dissolve In and out. As well as learning how to cut the film in to lots of different sections I was able to dub or change the sounds that went over the film. On the software you are able to either use the same sound that was used when filming or by dubbing over it. A benefit of dubbing over it is that it will sound more realistic and believable and so it can be heard easily. Unfortunately in our product we had to edit out a few objects that shouldn’t have been in view e.g. someone walking in the back ground. Before I began editing I thought this was going to be a huge problem and we were going to have to film it again but with the after effects software we were able to edit her out. This was time consuming but it was manageable and unnoticeable. I had never considered all the software that was needed and what was available on the computer to create a decent film.
