Throughout the media course we have used and developed our skills in many different areas of our digital technologies. The program final cut has played a large part and we have learnt to cut and edit footage as well as matching it to sound. These experiences slowly advanced our skills. We then learnt about use of cameras to produce our own footage, using different angles and techniques to pull together work. We matched our footage to sound whether it was diegetic or non diagetic and learnt about voice bridges. Editing was particularly important during our music video , gave us a chance to use filters and keep the lighting all similar so the clips flowed together.

Using the blog gave us advantages of feed back on our work from peers teachers and other bloggers on the net. Having feedback from a real audience really helped develop our ideas and give our group an idea of what an audience would expect. We also used the internet to do research and planning, discovering real media products through websites such as youtube and other various video promoting sites such as myspace. This played a key part to ensuring each of our coursework pieces were of a high standard.

We used photoshop to produce logos for our opening sequences, it gave up as opportunity to achieve a more proffessional final product and use layers which could be used to form motion in final cut.
