Evaluation Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this project?

Before this project began I didn't know much about the different technologies that we have at our disposal, including both hardware (e.g. Canon Legria HRD30) and software (e.g. LiveType). After using these different types of technology, I am much more informed on how to shoot and edit a sequence to a high level.

Advantages of the hardware:

• Equipment was easy to set up and very portable
• Camera allowed us to watch back our shots to ensure we got the one we wanted
• Controls on the camera were simple to use
• Camera batteries were long-lasting and didn't need to be recharged

Disadvantages of the hardware:

• Occasionally the lighting equipment would be in our shots as the lights are quite big and needed to placed in the main room so that the shots wouldn't be grainy
• Lots of pieces (batteries, mic, tripod shoe, etc) that could get lost easily 

What I have learnt by Ella Budgett

Advantages of the software:

• Premiere Pro had all the tools that we needed to use to edit our sequence, from basic cutting of shots to more complicated effects such as ghosting and grading
• LiveType allowed for us to create inventive titles that suited our opening sequence

Disadvantages of the software:

• LiveType only had a limited amount of title effects to choose from and had to be done on the Macbooks which took up space in the editing room
• Premiere Pro takes some time to understand what all the tools do and how to apply them
