   • I used my own camera which is a canon 600D to take the photo of Emily on the front cover. I      learned to get a clear image with a good clear background.

Technical skills that I developed during the construction and marketing of my swede


Technical skills that I developed during the construction and marketing of my swede

·         I used my own camera which is a canon 600D. I learned how to use my camera in more depth.

·         I used Prezi to create a presentation for my swede and research for it. I learned how to create and choose different themes and templates to make my presentation look better. Prezi is more advanced than PowerPoint so I learned different tools to make my organisation better.

·         I used serif to create a poster for my swede. I learned how to make and change the font, apply a photo on to serif and manipulate it, changed the colour scheme and made it what I wanted it to be and got an idea of how to layout a poster and know what looks good and what does not.

·         I used final cut pro to edit my swede. I learned how to get the videos from the camera on the software, I learned how to take the videos apply them to final cut pro and put them in the order I want them to run, I also had to cut some of the video to make it shorter and also I learned how to use transitions to make it run smoothly.

·         I learned how to upload work and videos ect. To blogger

·         I learnt the importance of social networking and how big of an impact it makes on what you are trying to get out to everyone

·         I learned how to use serif movie+ to make my animatronic story board

·         I learned how to scan my images on a Epson scanner and apply it to serif movie+
