6) What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

During the creation of pokers advocate I have learned a lot mainly in the areas of the apple software due to previous experience I was already fairly knowledgeable with the equipment but due to being a complete windows guy I was very amateur with the apple software so this project has helped me learn a lot more about how to use the software and the sort of things you can create with it. I have also learned new shot techniques and professional terms for items I would have called standard names so it has made me more professional about my media work. For example double checking everything and instead of leaving things like they are because you like them try to experiment with alternative things such as effects etc.

I have also learned a lot about team work and working as part of a team as the people I was working with I didn’t know very well so it was good to get to know then better and work closely with then and we got on very well I think, as the was no arguments everyone had their own fair share of jobs and responsibilities. I was very amateur about using the equipment and I do feel that during the process of creating the product I have built up the confidence to use the camera and all other equipment professionally and safely.

I have also learned allot about acting and the way to do it professionally granted the is allot of outtakes (as with most filsm!) but it was pretty exciting for me to play the main character of this, and i feel it both helped me build up my confidence but also strenghten the relationship with my fellow peers.
