Through the process of constructing our media product, I think I can safely say that Jess and I have learnt to use a range of technologies that were available to us and that we hadn't previously encountered. The main thing that I had learnt through this process was how to use a Mac computer as neither Jess and I had ever used one before. One of the things we had to get use to was the lengthy process of having to connect it to the internet each time we used it, and also different buttons on the keyboard that did different things. Some of the software and programs on the Mac's were also knew to us and in paritcular i-Movie, which is the program we used to edit our media product.What we also found with the school Mac's was that the internet connection was limited and not very fast so we struggled when we had to upload our videos to Youtube. We found that it was easier to upload them straight to our blogs however both these ways was very time consuming.
Another process that Jess and I were unfamiliar with was the use of blogging for our coursework. The formatting of the blog was quick and simple and I found that this was a more modern and interactive way to produce our coursework. It fit in especially as we are doing a media A Level so it makes sense to use the technologies available to us.The only problem we experience with the blogs was trying to upload the original music that Jess had created for our media product, however blogger offered an easy solution with its help forums and soundcloud proved to be the best website to use.
The internet was a technology that we were both obviously used to however we did find that as the process of our media product went on, we were also learning things such as uploading our music to our blogs and videos to youtube. And although we had both used a camera, we learnt a lot more about the camera's setting and how to improvise and position the camera to achieve the best angles possible.
