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

This is a picture of us holding all of the equipment that we used in Scotland to film. We are standing at the front door which was used for the final shot. Between us we are holding the camera, tripod, suitcase and umbrella! These were all vital parts of our filming, especially the tripod with some of the long zooms that we got, it would have been incredibly difficult to perform these handheld.

We have used a large amount of technology throughout creating this film opening, including YouTube, Blogger, Adobe Premiere Elements and Hotmail. These have all helped in producing our film.
YouTube gave us the opportunity to research some same genre film openings such as Casino Royale and The Bourne Supremacy. Seeing these gave us some ideas about what we wanted to do. YouTube also gave us the option to upload our preliminary task and final film so that people could view it and give us some feedback.
Adobe Premiere Elements was the main use of technology which helped us put together our film opening. The editing was the most important part to make sure that it all fitted together in the right way. This particular technology was difficult to get the hang of but our preliminary task helped us with this, also doing new things such as titles and sound was difficult.
We have used Blogger to keep up to fdate with all of the work that we have done by posting it, we also did all of our research and planning on here, including the shot lists and storyboards, so blogger was very important for our organization. 
Hotmail helped us in the way that we emailed our storyboard and location pictures to ourselves and then inserted them into as post. This was an easy way to do it by just sending across an email, rather than uploading them on to the computer via a memory stick or disk.
