Through the process of construction taking my self away from my group and standing as an individual media student, even though at times I have faced challenges have been quite hard I was successfully able to over come mainly due to my new knowledge of how to use different technologies. By simply knowing the processes of new items I was able to mold my work into something new and unique that would be able to stand alone. At this stage in the year I am now able to use the different applications on an Apple Mac computer which I didn't really have any insight to due to it not being available to me a daily basis, alongside the factor of the Apple Mac it came with it's own unique applications like iMovie, which I had to learn how to use in the construction of my film making. As time went on with my group construction individual work had to play it's part also, so I had to teach my self how to do use simple things like print screening, which I don't hesitate to use now. The collaboration of me using an Apple Mac on a daily 5 day a week slot time it opened up my mind on how I would present my work in different technology forms to help improve my construction knowledge and my work altogether.
Leading on to the process of filming. I honestly learnt how to use a camera properly and was able to sync parts of my film on to the Apple Mac enabling my group to go through the stages of editing. With filming came the variety of apparatus that had to be used also, the most favourite one being a Tripod, learning how to put it at the right levels to film, and how to disemble it after use all came as a process of construction. There weren't many bases to my constructions but the ones that we did use were new pathways for me in the subkject of Media. This leads me to my final point of the classic website of 'YouTube'. I had used YouTube in the pass for various items like downloading music or watching a variety of videos from comedy acts to short films, but never before did I know how to record through the Apple Mac through the use of the webcam straight onto YouTube and being able to publish it, and then use the embed code to upload it onto my blog, all of this became a new way of technology to me and allowed me to learn as I picked up new tips from other media candidates.
As the year has gone by I had to take a big sacrafice and put time aside to learn the different pointers that I am contently left with now that I can use in the future. The construction was quite a complex one for me compared to others due to my lack of knowledge, and even though I am quite up to date with different technologies, the collaborations of all of this set my knowledge and understanding on a whole complete level, and I am glad that I can continue to use it in the future.
