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

Within pre-production the use of technologies was utterly vital due to elements such as background research,being able to create pie charts on the questionnaires myself and my group had created. For instance due to the proliferation of phones being able to access online books through the internet and using websites such as; wikipedia,youtube,IMBD rather than using books allowed us up-to-date information, new, prior and upcoming films which matched or had essences of a psychological theme/genre. Additionally when we were researching possible films we had to store the information on blogger as a post. Without the use of technologies i wouldn't have been able to access past blogger post or i would have been drastically limited to the ways i could access the research; i.e. by logging on a computer or laptop. However through my mobile device i am able to access' blogger' 24/7 from any where.

Within the production stage of our film, we used a Panasonic JCV 270, a tripod and an audio recorder. At first i assumed that these devices would be rather uncouth to use. However once i had a brief introduction on how to use them and what to press, the actually filming was drastically comfortable. Through the easy use of the audio recorder especially it saved a vast amount of time which aloud us to edit more of the film and try different shots when using the camera. An additional factor which was beneficial was the tripod as it allowed the camera to have stability, which in turn helped to create verisimilitude of the sections being filmed and limited the possible side effects;  shaking of the camera or getting damaged. Additionally the use of the tripod allowed us to get great death when filming particular angle i.e. low angle, high angle.

During post-production we uploaded our filming onto an editing software called premiere pro CC. This was my first time using Premiere pro cc . I learnt a variety of techniques which i can now use within future filming. I learnt how to integrate both music and an internal monologue over shots, how to create opening credits, add various effects onto the shots and reverse shots to appear distorted. I thought that using premiere pro CC has numerous advantages such as it offered a variety of features, allowed for all shots to be uploaded at once and you were able to view separate parts of the film at the same time. This was drastically useful when wanting to create a cross-fade or a graphic match. However the Editing software required prior knowledge on how to edit films and this delayed the timing for my group to finally create a finished a product and edit the film, which at times became utterly frustrating.
