6. What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing the product?

• The new technology was interesting to use, and most of it I had never used before, which led to some interesting occasions in which Jon and I were completely stumped on occasions.

Did you realise so much hard work went into creating similar media products?

• I knew that the editing process in particular was long, and also filming itself requires so many cuts.

• Luckily for us, I managed to get the shot that I wanted most of the time. Although four hours of filming has only resulted in two minutes and forty seconds of work.

• The editing took a long time although we hoped we would not be quite so long.

Are there any shots or edits you are really proud of?

• Jon is proud of the shot of me as the hooded figure standing at the back of the tunnel.

• I am proud of the shot when I climbed the tree to shoot Chris walking. Also I am proud of the shot of Chris walking to the tunnel, and when he stops.

What would you do differently to improve or alter your product?

• I believe that to alter the product, I would have created a better institutional logo, and made a better sequence than it just fading into the screen.

• Also, I believe that the music we used wasn’t suitable for the film.

Were there any limitations to your creativity?

• I felt that I could have been a little more involved in the editing, and wished that the title style I originally wanted could have been used but it would have made the opening look shoddy.

• However, with the camera particularly I felt very comfortable, and enjoyed making the storyboard as well.
