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

To record the footage for our opening sequence, we used a Sony SLT A35. This left the footage being crisp with a high frame-rate, making the footage easier to edit. Whilst using the camera for our footage, I learnt that it is best to record approximately 2 seconds before the action and record for 2 seconds after the cut. This allows there to be no footage missed, allowing the full amount of footage to be in the cut.

For the editing process, we used Final Cut Pro where edited the entirety of our opening scene. Whilst using this software, I've picked up various techniques like fades and transitions whilst adding 'key frames' to improve our overall product.

For the overall computer, we used the Macintosh' as school as that is where we had our media lessons and the best opportunity to be together whilst editing. Throughout this process on the Macs, I've learnt how to extract footage of SD cards with and without an SD card reader.
