POST #41 - WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?

"Radio show:
What have you learnt about editing, and how have you developed your editing skills?
Do you have any examples of tasks that have improved your editing?
What did you learn from your preliminary task? 
 

Overall:

• Editing gets easier, if you learn the techniques. We learnt how to import images and sound effects in particular. A specific example of this is in our final video, our main character winks, and a 'ding' sound effect is played over the top of this wink. At first, we didn't know how to import this and play it over the top of the video, but we ultimately worked out how to do this. This tells us that our editing has hugely benefited from the construction of this piece.
• A specific task that helped us improve our construction was making the video log. We filled the vlog with pictures and sound effects, so naturally, this helped us work out how to edit in such items. It also helped us to work out how to import and include video that we didn't film ourselves (for example, Noah's animation, or the Zelda gameplay).
• We learnt a lot from the preliminary task. Specifically, we learnt to make sure the audio always worked, and was audible. We learnt this as there was a lot of interruptions in sound when people tapped the table or made seemingly small noises. 

All in all, we have learnt a lot about technologies from this process. We are now able to edit well, and understand how to film and construct a film opening. "
