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

One of the main things I've learnt about is the technology avaliable to help create a smooth, intricate piece of media.

Above is a screen grab of both Final Cut and also the toolbar, which contained the pen tool for editing the music and how it faded, along with various other things including the tool for cropping shots.

I learnt how to use the editing programme Final Cut effectively. I am now able to add music to my clips, and then cut the music to fit perfectly with the action in the film, as well as how to use the pen tool to fade the sound in and out appropriately, this is located on the toolbar above. I can now add, order and cut clips to get the pefect combination of shots, and learnt how to use various transitions, such as cross dissolve. Now I know how to place effects onto a specified clip, for example, monotones and grayscales, and I can also use the colour correction feature like in the walking home and killing scenes.

For my titles, I used font animation programme LiveType, which really added another dimension to my film because it incorporated the titles well and made them more aesthetic, capturing the audience's attention from the start. 

However, in my opinion, the best thing I learnt was how to split screen two or more clips together using the V1 and 2 chanels on Final Cut. It helped me to achieve the final outcome of the film - and is undoubtably a very useful tool for future projects.
