what you learnt about it/from using it.

| annotated camera, sorry it had to be big so you could read the writing |
The first picture (top left) is of the camera we used to film the project it is a Panasonic HM-TA1 different from the one our school provided us with, we started off filming with the schools one but because we were mainly using artificial light the end product was yellowish whereas the one shown seemed to handle the light better and looked more realistic when it came to the editing. from this i have learnt that before we shoot our film we should do a test shot to see how it comes out on the computer that way we don't waste time having to re-shoot scene where the lightning isn't good. the camera its self was really easy to use, it is my camera so i have used it before which helps use the camera to our advatege and means we did not lose time trying to work the camera.
The next picture along (clockwise) is the logo of adobe Photo shop. we used photo shop more than we expected to but with the pictures in the opening 25 seconding needing edditing e.g redtint we ended relyling on it to creat the final effect. when i first started useing Photo shop i had never used it before and so i found it hard to work but thankfully two members in my group Lauren and Beth use it in another subject and were able to teach be the basics and at with a couple of pratics runs i managed to get the effect i wanted. i now know how to use photoshop with the help of my group but if i was working on my own i would of found it impossible to do and so i am now going thought diffrent programs to ensure i know how to work them
Youtube- we found youtube a very easy to use as all members of our group use it normaly and so know time was waisted trying to work it. anothere advantage of youtube was that all members of the group could acess the material that we wanted to upload on to our blog, which was easy as blogger has a partership with youtube. what i learnt form youtube is that it is possible to annotate the footage with a prevously has no knowlage of .
Adobe Premeria elemets, PR symbol, was what i found the hardest to use for a number of reasons firstly because none of the group has ever used it before so we were mostly working on a trail are error bases, learning from what went really wrong and made sure we didn't do it again. from this bit of equipment i learnt the importance of saving work every time we make a change to our opening due to it crashing because of the files size we were working with.
The tripod was one the easier thing to pick up, possibly because they was nothing to go drastically wrong with it, picking up how to use the tripod also worked of a trial and error bases but was very easy to work out the best and fastest way of getting the tripod ready for the next shot. the tripod worked of a series of retractable feet allowing you to adjust the height also another way to add height was by a the head of the tripod making it drastically higher, areal shot.
Blogger, was like most pieces of technology in this course was hard when learning how it works but easy once you get the hang of it. i have found blogger very easy to use and a grate way of showing my creative side, once i manage to get the pictures where i want them to go which was hard at times. i have learnt form this technology that i can be creative with what i do and not simply display the information in one set format.
