What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
In this evaluation question we showed the technologies we used like final cut pro and the youtube converter. Using final cut to edit our footage, we were able to build a precise timeline using our footage, add relevant sound, add institutional titles and enhance our OTS by colour correction in order to make it as authentic as possible.
We filmed our practice tasks using a sony handicam but had no control over exposure and focus so we used a Sony DSLR camera and discovered how to push pull focus and use f stops to adjust the amount of light entering the camera. We found that the camera sound was not good enough to record digetic sound so used a Rodeo mic to enable us to record good sound.
We were able to add music to our videos which is directly showcased in the screencast. the video also shows editing and cutting of the music the way we needed to do it in our actual OTS. Finally we showcased transitions on the clips and cutting the clips. We did this to emphasise the fact that editing is a delicate job and needs doing right otherwise we could end up with a totally different message being purveyed instead of the one we wanted. We also used other technologies like a camera but we believe that that process is very straight forward and didn't need showcasing in this video.

We used Weebly as our website is because it was an easy website to use and was easy to access to, the website was easy to import our youtube videos and images as it could be saved to the computer and then just uploaded straight to the website. the video was also easy to view and everything that was put as our information was also easy to read and easy to understand.
The reason why we used Final cut was because it was easy to use to download and upload clips etc. it was easy to see what we were doing and where we wanted to put everything and shows you how long each scene is. For us to use this meant that it was also easy to upload clips to youtube and then post them onto our website. overall final cut was a good source for our team as everything could be done easy and done very well.
