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

This whole experience has allowed us to learn many things, and most importantly it has helped us develop our skills in certain technologies.

Technologies we were introduced to, and technologies that has helped us with the process of constructing our media product:

By using Google, we were able to research nearly anything we needed. For example, if we needed to research a particular film we would just simply use google to open IMBD which would show us all the information we would be needing on a film. Youtube allows us to find almost every video we could possibly look for such as, films, music, trailers and many more things.

We were introduced to JVC cameras. We had a brief tutorial on how to use cameras. This tutorial really allowed us to understand all the functions to a high tech camera.

Soundtrack Pro, soundtrack allows us to create music that we could use in our thriller opening title sequence. Music can really create tension, and Soundtrack is a great program to use because it allows us to combine a variety of instruments with each other, which could possibly turn out to be music that really creates anxiety and suspicion.

Livetype Pro, Live Type allows us to create a title sequence which helps express the mood and genre of the film for example, every font, size of font and colour represents an emotion. Live type can be used in Final Cut Pro, which is very handy because, we originally need to create our thriller opening title sequence in Final Cut Pro.

Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Pro is a professional Non-linear editing software application developed by Apple Inc. The software logs and captures video onto a hard drive (internal or external), where it can be edited and processed.

Overall all these technologies combined together has really helped us put together a good piece of a opening title sequence.
