Technology
At the start of the course, the first piece of technology I was introduced to was the camera equipment. In the world of media, what really makes a film successful is the visual imagery the audience is presented with. Therefore the cinematography and the techniques and equipment associated have to be skilled masterfully. Between my preliminary work and my final thriller, I have used two different cameras. The first was a simple hand held, with little quality, therefore making me upgrade to a better model for my final thriller to improve quality. The camera I used to film my actors was placed onto a tripod, a device used to steady the camera for a range of shots such as a pan, a tilt, or even just a static shot. Another piece of equipment I used was a dolly, a wheeled tripod that created smooth tracking motions as I filmed. The footage was saved digitally onto an SD card so it could be directly imported onto my editing program, Adobe. 
Coming onto the subject, the program I used to edit my film was Adobe. This enabled me to create a flow in my film and an understanding for my audience. Without editing, the film would look rough and amateurish, and not make much sense. 
I have also been introduced to computer networks to aid me with my media research and used quite a number of web applications through the course of this project. Blogger has aided me in publishing my coursework since the start of the course and it's a very useful website for posting updates about my work. I learned I could integrate things from other websites into my Blog, such as a survey from Survey Monkey, videos on Youtube and a data analyser from wordle. Survey Monkey, was a very useful program and gave me useful information from my target audience. YouTube aided me in uploading and promoting my videos and using examples from films in my work. Prezi helped me present my work in a new and interesting style, making a difference in my usual presentation in my work.
