Digital TechnologyWhen I started AS media studies I knew nothing about technology, except how to turn equipment on. Therefore learning how to use the different array of equipment available to us helped my group and I vision what shots we were going to use to help us create a film opening. The digital technology allowed me to be creative because when editing our opening we used different transition and techniques such as blurring elements. Although I struggled with this, I managed to over it through looking things up on google, asking my peers and teachers.

Advantages DisadvantagesI learnt a variety of skills and techniques

I found the movement of the camera quite difficult

Good editing software which enabled us to be creative

As a group we found it hard to incorporate everyone’s ideas

I learnt how to work within a team and hand out roles and responsibilities when it came to using the equipment.

Weren’t able to use all the equipment available to us.

I learnt that organisation was key to this process

Digital technology was extremely helpful when it came to the post- production because we needed to incorporate sound effects into our film opening. Not only this but we had to learn how to do the different transitions in order for our opening to be as creative as possible. Furthermore it has prepared us for our A2 coursework.
