Conclusion:

From using a variety of different technologies I learnt a variety of different skills, on top of what I was already aware of. For example, even though I used Final-Cut in my thriller opening by doing a music video I still learnt other skills such as colour adjustment of shots, which was used to make Lauren’s eyes look bluer than they are. I already knew that I would have to become reliant on some technologies even some that I had never used before. I just tried to use them to the best I could to help input into a better more professional finished product. A technology that was new to me was Photoshop, as expected it took a while to get used to but after figuring it out, I was able to start experimenting with the effects to give a more polished professional product. On the other hand by using technologies I had used before I could be more creative and work with them a lot more confidently and use more elements of their software. For example, we were able to be more creative with camera shots, angles and movements because the way the camera operated wasn't new to us. Finally by using different technologies I found what works best for me, for example using slide-share rather than Google docs for the work I was trying to upload it just seemed to present it a lot better.
