What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?The software I used was the Adobe premier, to create help edit my footage. As you can see at the top hand side of the picture below of the software itself, I was allowed to add import different media institutions to my film to be specific the soundtrack.Quick and expert modes of the software were the two functions on the software that was key and vital in editing my film. However, on the other hand I would have preferred if we had the budget to have different media software that was more valuable, with the added bonus of Hollywood luxury of special effects that would have added more of an effect to my film. For example , the use of special effect lighting could have been used to help highlight my club and partying screen to the next degree of the young teenagers having fun/9living in the moment), this to me show that by having a better software would have given a much better perception , making the outcome better. Also, but adding to that if the software was more advance , the editing process of the film would have been much easier, for example when I clicked on expert view on the adobe premier , the structure of the settings where not layered out correctly , leaving me with frustration and annoyance. Considering the expert layout better than the quick view, it still had it problems. For instance, when I wanted to make a simple incision to the footage I was not able to due to the fact it was not possible to cut small inclining of the film without deleting it altogether. A key feature that stuck out to be on the Adobe premier software, was the adjust bar on the right hand side of the large picture. Example: when i wanted to make a cut or to simply just add new font on to the film. On the other hand, I found that on the right hand side of the picture where the control buttons are, you would find a page suggesting what style you want your footage presented in. I generally found that the choices where limited in what you could chose. Hence by having a much better quality editing software would have provided me with more and vital options to help add dominance to my footage.The “Canon” video camera was what I used to film my footage with was easy and simple to use. The fair and ease the digital camera gave while filming allowed me to shoot a clear and a well cut That allowed me to make easy indecision and clear decisions while filming.The location the filming took place were in local pubs and clubs as well as turning a studio based room into a “party scene”Mise en scene was limited, as it was not really needed in the making of this film. Basic costume was worn in the footage example, t-shirts, jackets, jeans and dresses, as this still helped establish the youth and the innocents, of these teenagers and young adults have today. Whereas in a film like “ Some like it Hot (1959)” where a lot of costume in the movie, costume ranging from, formal wear such as suits, ties, dresses as well as casual wear. The reason for this is that the film is comedy based thus there is not limit in what the characters can wear for certain scenes. In addition, as I reinforce the idea of them living simple and carefree lives; this is an effective motion as the actors are limited of costume change. Hence, reinforces the message better as added costume change would takeaway the main focus of the scenes.

• Another key feature that liked from experiencing, Adobe editing software, was the toolbar down the boom of the picture, which is highlighted in green. The screech bar was easy to use in the editing process. As I was able to click and grab my audio clip and select what bit of the audio I wish to delete. I also was able to high the voice clip of the poem raised high of the music to add death and character to thee footage, this was a way to grab the audience attention, as I think if the narration of the film was not added the audience would have lacked focus when watching the it. The reason being is that the footage would have looked like . broken clips passed and layered over each other, hence there would have not been a message coming across. Thus by me adding the narration, added profundity and authoritative vivid imagery to the scenes, as it grasped the momentum of the footage, in a clear and colourful way. Hopefully making that audience more aware of f the issues at hand due to the powerful poetry explaining the depth to which the character has gone though as a teenager, and how it can and does effective teenagers and young people of today’s generation. I found that we used a lot of chiaroscuro in the film; this was because I wanted the drug scenes to appear spooky and mysterious as this element added to the effectiveness of the shot.
