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

We have learnt and understood many new techniques in the creation of our final product, we have also learnt about technologies such as iMovie and garage band on the Imac computers in our classroom. As well as the technique in which to record film and set the camera angles up in the correct position and then place the film onto the editing equipment, I also as being a complete novice to the means of editing a film can now shift, cut, extend and put in transitions in iMovie.

We created original music from the Garage band application on the IMac to edit into our film to create suspense and atmosphere in our thriller movie, Quentin Tarantino once said that music is 95% of what makes a thriller a successful thriller film. We simply transferred the created track from garage band to IMovie and then edited it to fit along with the film shots.

Whilst editing the film shots, we discovered that we could edit the contrast, colour tones, saturation and brightness of different film clips. This allowed us to create different and less monotone film sequences, for example the eye shot in our movie was originally the normal colour that the camera picked up; however we changed it so a red glare was throughout the shot, this was edited to red because red is a colour code of warning or danger which the audience would recognise as being part of the thriller code.
