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

I have learnt a lot about a few technologies, those being Adobe programmes, camera work and the sound recorder. Firstly Adobe:

I probably learnt the most about this technology because this was my main usage in the group. I learnt how to do basic effects on After Effects (learnt from VideoCopilot) and simple transition on Premiere. This was useful as it made the video look more professional. An example of the effects would be the gun shot where the end of the gun is lit up:

The next technology we learnt about would be the sound recording, done for the radio broadcast. This was interesting as i had never really done anything like that before and it as a new experience. The idea behind it is simple, press record and speak, but a lot of planning and thought went into what exactly we would get Steve to say. In the end to whole thing went smoothly and the radio broadcast we came out with was professional and added a sense of story to the video. 

The final technology we learnt about was the camera itself, allowing us to use it to its full potential. This was useful for us as it gave us an understanding as to what we were doing whilst filming. We used a number of features for the camera including a tripod and dolly (what Lauren broke). These were useful for our video as it gave smooth shots where the camera was free to move.
