Main Task: Evaluation 6

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

I have expanded my knowledge of the DSLR camera. For this task i learnt the various features of photography , such as determining which camera shot would be appropriate and get best results, and i also learnt a fair bit about lighting techniques. I was fortunate to have lighting equipment, which i was almost clueless about, so i had to learn quickly, luckily due to this i learnt a lot about lighting from doing this task.

Since the preliminary task i have learnt how to blend on Photoshop. This proved invaluable when trying to even out skin tones without giving off a plastic vibe to the model. A minor thing that i learnt was that i could simply drag a selected item onto a new piece, minor feature but something that i learnt which helped my progress.

With this new software technology (i.e Quark Express, PhotoShop,) I think that it is easier for amateurs to create a product similar to mine. New software is increasingly becoming easier to comprehend and for this reason i believe that it is getting easier for amateurs to create a media product.

Blogging has proved invaluable for keeping track of the creation of my media product. Since creating my blog, I have found that it is far greater for keeping a production log than written work, largely because a blog allows me to go back to a previous post and edit whenever a new idea strikes.
