Coming into this project I was confident in using Windows movie Maker, but was introduced into a new piece of video-editing software called Pinnacle Studios. Pinnacle Studios was similar to Movie Maker which helped, however I felt that there was many features that made it better than Movie Maker, although it was very unreliable and would often crash. 
We spent a lot of time with cameras after having to re-film several times, and learn that they were also quite unreliable as the tapes they gave us often lost work; however I feel that we did well with the cameras and learned many new techniques. From doing media studies at GCSE I already knew many techniques but didn’t know how difficult they were to pull off effectively and fluently, so I feel that the lesson that I learnt the most about technology was how difficult and unreliable they can be.
Upon finishing our film we had to record a director’s commentary with an ‘Edirol’, but soon realised how hard it was to record ourselves and sound fluent as if we weren’t reading from a script which in the end we had to. I feel that although the director’s commentary was the hardest part, the ‘Edirols’ were the most reliable piece of technology we used in the course.
Overall I feel that we learnt how to use a wide range of technology in this project, and learnt the key skills to use them effectively as we can all now use Pinnacle Studios to edit videos together with confidence.
