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

During the construction of our media product, we learnt:

- Editing Techniques

Whilst using Final Cut Pro, we learnt how to use:
- A fade in and out effect.
- Various video filters
- Various video transitions
We learnt how to use Photoshop in a more complex way, we learnt how to:
- Take layers off of an image
On Soundtrack Pro, we learnt that it was very useful for a variety on sounds and sound effects. After going through it we found out that it is actually a complex program and it can sometimes be difficult to find specific things that you are looking for but can also be very helpful.
Whilst using Livetype, we found a good way to create animated fonts, so we could create a fade effect. It also had such a variety of font types and animations, it was almost too helpful.

Using Soundtrack Pro, we were able to layer it on to Final Cut Pro so that we could have the Music going on top of the film footage. We also had Livetype as well to layer it on, however we decided against it in the end, but it gave us the choice which we did not know we could do.

When we were out filming we realised that we could put the tripod literally anywhere, and we could set the legs at any angle we wanted, any shot we wanted in a limited facility.
We were on the internet researching different font types and came across a website that has lots of different templetes pre set for you, which we decided to take some designs off of and choose one we all agreed on. We also found a website that had a step by step picture editing through Photoshop, which really helped us design a logo.
Overall we found some very good and helpful technologies that improved our media product from last time. If we research more i suspect we would find lots more technologies to help us even more. Because they are so detailed and in depth we did not have the time to try out and example everything. But overall very good.
