Evaluation: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learnt a lot about the cameras and Final Cut Pro (the software for the editing process). I learnt how to effectively use the camera lenses by experimenting with the different lenses to find the perfect one; Wide shot being 35mm, Mid shot being 55mm, and a close-up being 75mm. When shooting I was able to use my increased knowledge of the cameras to produce good quality focused shots, displaying depth to the audience.
I also learnt a great deal about Final Cut Pro at first I found it complicated but spending time with the software and exploring its functions I was able to appreciate the capabilities of it. Some of the functions I learnt about was the "Razor" this was a tool used to make clear cuts producing fluency of our film from shot to shot. This was a basic tool, other functions I learnt included adding diegetic sound, subtitles (like a type writer diary on screen), and colouring. YouTube videos and researching helped us to increase our knowledge in these areas, and Final Cut Pro appeared less daunting than before. The colouring was fairly simple, I just had to adjust the mix of colours increasing the desired cold blue colour to add to the ambience. Later rendering the footage made it return to Final Cut Pro compatibility. Thus I learnt a lot about technologies during the film making process of shooting and editing.
