What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
For the whole of my coursework I have used many different types of technologies, there has been my SLR camera and flash bulbs for taking the shots, I have used photoshop for editing my shots and creating the pages to the magazine and Blogger for keeping teachers upto date in the work that I am doing.
My SLR camera is something that I am used to using so I have not really learnt anything from using this. However, I am not used to using a flash gun, therefore I had to experiment alot with different angles and the reflection shield had to be placed just right in order to use the best of what light I had. I knew I had to take lots of photos as the more you have the more material you have to work with.
Photoshop is also something that I have used over and over. It did take me a long time to completely understand the softare, but i was fortunate enough to know how to use the software before starting any of the media work. Because of this I found it really easy to get the type of results that I wanted. The only problem with the version of Photoshop that I was using was that the software kept crashing if I used it for more than a couple of hours or if I had one too many files open in the 'photo bin'. It would also take an age to save what work I did do and this would slow me down in the what work that I could do during lessons and at home.
I have two blogs on Blogspot, one for all notes that are taken during lessons and homework that is set for theory, whilst the second is dedicated to my coursework and it shows all of the different stages I used in order to get my finished product. It lets you put in images, videos, hyperlinks etc. With blogspot I had never used it before the start of this school year so it did take me a while to know how to use all of the different elements and also know what all of the buttons did and all of the shortcuts I can use on here.
Overall I havent found that using all of the technologies difficult, I hav learnt from them, I just havent learned much as I already knew how to use most of them.
