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

The difference in preliminary task and the finished opening sequence wasn't i had practised at all of the techniques and rules like 180 degree rule and continuity. As you can see in the picture on the let In my preliminary task continuity wasn't maintained throughout which i learned from and made sure it was in my title sequence.

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

while creating my : research and planning blogs, opening sequence, music for my opening sequence, titles for my opening sequence, audience feedback and my evaluation blog i used a range of technologies like :

During my research and my planning blog post i learnt how to use Microsoft excel which i had only used a couple of times and hadn't become accustomed to it yet.

for my opening sequence i made some music to add to my product. i used garage band which i have used before in a btec level 2 music course so i just refreshed my previously developed skills i didn't have to learn use this technology.

do edit my footage for my opening sequence i used Imovie which allowed me to edit my imported clips and edit part of the sound.

to add titles to my title sequence i used live type which allowed me to place titles over clips or on a black background. this technology is new to me so i was was given a basic tutorial by a teacher then i picked up other skills as i went on.
