Evaluation - Question 6

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

Whilst constructing our thriller opening we have discovered how to use a vast range of media technologies in order to produce our product. These technologies include:


Adobe Premier Pro - Used to edit the video - cutting and cropping the individual clips and putting together the whole opening. Although we initially struggled with the whole editing process, we overcame this as we understood the software more and more. After editing our preliminary task we then knew how to use the programme for our final video.
Adobe After Effects - Used to produce the final video - adding effects such as transitions onto the video. This programme also caused confusion prior to our preliminary task however by the time it came to creating the final video we understood it. Here we used it to add on our soundtrack and transitions from frame to frame.


Garage Band - Used to make a soundtrack for the product - creating a unique piece of music as continual sound for the opening. As we could create a piece from scratch it enabled us to make something that was individual to our thriller, building tension in exactly the right places fitting what the audience hear with what they are seeing. This also allowed us to create a modern, upbeat track that teenagers, the target audience, would enjoy.

From creating this product, we have learnt that even though these technologies are complicated and can be very technical to use, simplifying them and working step by step to complete what we were working on was the best way to produce a good end result of a high standard.
