WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF

CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?

BY KVARNE

In the making of my media film, I learnt how to use many different technology and technology products. The computer computers we used were HP 2210 work station which were built for multi and interactive media technologies along with the computer program we used to make and edit of our media footage (Adobe premium elements 11). Prior to my media project I did not know how to use this program however in the making of my media work I have learnt how to use it and have used it successfully in the making of my media product. This has given me transferable skills as I will next year perhaps need to use these skills of editing for my media work next year.

Also in the making of my media product I spent a large amount of time using digital video cameras, prior to the making of my media work, I had no idea how to use the provided digital camera and tripods, however over the last year the media studies course has given me these transferable skills that I can apply to different situations which makes the making of my media product very effective. I also have an enhanced knowledge of how to use editing programs and generally using the computers now after the making of my media product. In the progression of my media product I learnt how to do many things editing wise.

For example, I learnt throughout the year how to use and create transitions for my media video which aided me to make successful and effective videos leading up to my final piece as at the start of my media studies course I did not have a vast knowledge in this area. I also learnt how to create effects, for example, I learnt how to add lighting effects, at the beginning of the year I did not know how to do this, however, during the progression of my media studies course my ability in the editing software has improved and now I have a vast knowledge in it and use the knowledge in the future if I ever need to use editing in the future. On the other hand, I learnt that there are some faults with the editing software, for example, when we had uploaded the video, occasionally the software would be very slow and would freeze and would need rendering, this stunted my work productivity due to the fact that it was quite frequent.
