6) What have you learnt about technologies from the process of making this product?
Cameras, Tripods, and Premier Pro, oh my!
Since the start of production. It has been apparent to me that my skills and abilities to use different tools and equipment have grown and developed over time.
Planning:
Firstly, my ability to plan for productions has definitely improved, storyboarding, script/screenplay writing, and shotlisting are all really usedful and some were new to me, however I am now able to use and create all 4 of these things.

Production:
This is where technology was used the most, learning how to use the DSLR cameras and getting comfortable with them was a key aspect to the production. Since starting to use them, I have learned how to change lenses on the cameras for a longer or shorter range shot. As well as changing the DSLR's settings to produce a different effect or type of shot and becoming comfortable with the user interface on the cameras.

We also used tripods whilst in production, which was useful as it allowed us to have steady shots and improved the quality of our production greatly.
There were times during production where we considered using a shoulder mount, however it was decided that handicam was better as it suited the effect of a thriller and worked with conventions of the genre in a more effective way. For example, when I walk through the marketplace and use my phone, Mitchel was walking in front of me holding the camera.
Post-Production:
Considered to be "where the magic happens", I haven't really had much recent practise in Premier Pro, however you can see my sound-changing task as evidence that I can alter and edit sound in videos, and you can also see the same video to show that I can use titling and video cutting too. Whereas at the beginning of the production process, I only had light experience in those areas from my personal YouTube channel, which was done using a different software (PowerDirector) that I bought for my phone.
