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

There are many things i have learnt about technologies while making this film. I learnt a lot more about the editing program adobe premier. In fact i had never heard of the program before i used it in this project. By using it during my editing process i learnt that many editing techniques are easily achieved. The main thing i learnt was how to add music to clips. I didn't know you could stretch the music so it plays over longer distances in your film. We used this particular technique to great effect in our two minute film. Another piece of equipment i learnt how to use was the sound recorder and microphone. We had to record a voiceover to go over the top of our film so i had to use the sound/voice recorder. I learnt how to record a clip and then replay it to see how it sounded and as we kept changing the script this function became an integral part of recording the piece. I do know how to use the internet!!! but i had never heard of a site called freeplayermusic which was the website where we got our music from. We had to choose music from that website as it is all copyright free which is good as its the only type of music we could use!. After hours of careful attention and after sifting through thousands of tracks we found one that was suitable for our piece. We then copied it onto a memory stick and put it onto the computer that the video was saved on. Also i had never transferred music from a website onto another computer via a memory stick so that was something new i learnt about technologies from doing this project. Another thing i learnt about technologies is to do with adobe premier. I learnt that you can add text to the top of a video. We initial tried that but then found it might be better if we added a voiceover instead. Nonetheless it was still a learning curve for me with regards to the functions on adobe premier. All this will help me in similar projects in the future.
