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

I've used power point to create mind-maps and save them to jpg so they can be imported to by blog. I learn that every slide that can be made can also be saved a jpg file, this made it really easy to make mind maps and put them on my blog. If I didn't use power point i would have has to make the mind maps my hand which would have caused them to look messy and unprofessional 

I didn't use soundcloud very much within my blog. Whereas I could have added voice notes of some of the things i typed.  I used soundcloud to embed the backing music to my final opening sequence as I wanted to give an example of it to answer one of the question posts. 

YouTube was used a lot during the making of my blog and the posting of my final opening sequence. I had embed example video of people who make opening sequences and some of the rough cuts went we were editing our film. Using this app I learn that you can embed the videos anywhere for example on my blog. Before I know this could be done, I would make web links to the different videos. 

I had used Windows Movie Maker as it was easy to make the videos for the different blog posts. Also you can upload the videos straight to YouTube. Using this movie maker i learnt that you can visual edit the footage to make it better, also you can speed the video clips up or down, which we used when editing the dart scene. 

I used windows to create the write out my different blog post to make sure that everything was spelt correctly, also it was easy to create scripts and tables. I learn how to comment on the things which were written in the script. 

Blogger was mainly used to present my work. but i learn that things can be embed onto the blog's, using the HTML codes. As this was how the prezi's were put on the blog.

Wikipedia was mainly used to help me collect information, for example the history of genre post was researched using this website. 

Google was used when collecting images and researching information. I learnt that you can search for the website behind the picture if you use the picture to search, using the little camera icon on the side of the search bar. 

Prezi was used a lot in my blog as its easy to present work, in an interesting way. I learnt how to make prezi when doing this blog as I hadn't come across them before.
