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

From constructing this product i have learnt a couple of things about the technologies i have used. Firstly, it is always better to use an external microphone instead of the internal camera microphone as it will greatly improve the audio quality. Also, we should always test out all the functions of the camera before the final moment before filming. I say this because we had a lot of hassle with the Canon XF100 because we had not properly used it before we went to film and had not realised that the camera was not reading the memory card and was not accepting the external microphone that we had or the one that came with the camera. Also I learnt that we should always use the lighting throughout , if we have used it in one scene as some of our scenes were lit differently and because of this we had to go away and correct all of this using Adobe Premiere Pro.

Q7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

From the progression from my preliminary task to my full opening sequence, i have learnt a lot of things about the most efficient ways to go about shooting and editing.
Firstly, organisation is key. We had not properly arranged with all the actors so on the day of shooting most of the actors could not attend and so we had to improvise a new script and make use of the people that we did have. Also, we had not properly tested out the canon XF100 camera and it was not reading the memory card and was not accepting the mic.
I also learnt that it is better to use an external microphone instead of an internal one like we did on our preliminary task, i noted this as the audio quality was not that good so i changed this when filming the opening sequence.
Finally, the cuts on our preliminary task were not very clean so i made sure to take more time editing when it came to the opening sequence.
