Edited 22/03/17: Q6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

The greater accessibility of HD cameras is empowering amateur production because cameras can now be bought at a more affordable cost so more people can use them, increasing the democratisation of film production. Additionally, the improved digital literacy of the public means that it is easier for amateurs to try film production and successfully employ a variety of techniques. It is also easy to find guidance on using more creative film-making techniques by searching for tutorials on websites such as YouTube. Furthermore, new technologies are enabling more creative film-making because the public can access a variety of resources for free, such as fonts on websites like DaFont, increasing the range of materials that they can use in their films. New technologies are also enhancing opportunities for collaboration and communication because media products can be shared on a range of platforms which the audience can post comments or send messages on.
