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

Before creating this film, i was a completely oblivious to how much work goes into a film. Before i was a bystander, and all the time i was just interested in the story line of the film. As a result of the film, i feel like a reborn movie critic. I pay more attention to angles and shots used in the film, and i think about why they are used?, what are the shots trying to portray? This is mainly as a result of learning about mise on scene, trying to think about the settings of the film, the costumes of the character, the body language of the characters, the positioning of the characters and also lighting and colour of the shots. Along with the different types of shots such as long shots, mid shots, close ups etc, it has taught me that each and every shot is constructed to portray certain impressions, deliberate impressions.
This made me realise the importance of light in the shots and how also editing is a major part of making a successful movie. I realised that good editing can make any sequence more exiting , pacey, and dramatic with the correct use of music, and titles. The editing of the film was the hardest part. we had to get the sequences in order, and when they were we had to create suspense and make the audience want to watch. After correctly choosing music tracks to accompany the film it made a dramatic difference to the hole film and it transformed its hole interpretation. We found that during a film, some sequences cannot be connected. To fix this problem we put titles in between these sequences. This allowed the film to flow and also gave the film a bit of pace and excitement.

Throughout the project i used new pieces of technology.
