Tharshika Bala - 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

We have learnt about a lot of technologies during the time making our thriller opening. IMovie is a video editing software application sold by Apple Inc. It was used to edit our opening. By using iMovie on the Mac, we learnt some new techniques like trimming clips, changing the contrast & lighting, changing the audio volume and so forth. iMovie was quick and easy to use. GarageBand is a software application for Mac OS X and iOS that allows users to create music or podcasts. It was used to insert a soundtrack for our opening. This was useful as we found the music we needed to make our movie effective.

Camera was the most important technology as we filmed the film. We learn to use different shots and angles to make our film look like a thriller film. Photoshop is a digital image editing application for the Internet, print and other new media disciplines. It was used to make the certificate and the name of the film. Photoshop was helpful as it made the certificate look realistic and the title was fantastic. YouTube is a video-sharing website which users can upload, view and share videos. It was used to upload the video and transfer it to put on the blog. YouTube was very obliging as YouTube videos can be opened in any sites and easy to access. Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries.
