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

We have learnt many things during the production of our short film. We used a video camera to film our footage. We discovered that we needed to use the zoom and angles to enhance the shots we took. One day whilst filming we discovered that the zoom on the camera was faulty therefore we had to come up with other methods that worked just as well.
We used a tripod for the shots we wanted steady, then handheld for the others. We always had a valid reason for how we used the camera. When filming outside we noticed when watching the footage back that there was a lot of wind and background noise affecting quality of sound. Therefore we used ambient sound and sound effects to allow it to balance out when editing.
Whilst setting the scene we looked at how the light affected the mis en scene. If the light was too bright or too dull we either had to tilt the camera or adjust the positioning, as we did not have the equipment to leave the camera settings and positioning.
We worked as well as we could with our equipment to get the best quality picture and sound in each scene as we could.
