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




Livetype is the main peice of technology/programme that is new to me for this project, it allows me to add more complex and effective titles to my peice, I have utilised this programme in my work. More specifically I used font which was better suited to the genre of my film, and also i was able to add it in in the placement and the timing which suited the opening sequence the best.

Livetype has very obvious advantages over I-movie in the titles it can use, for instance, the title effects on I-movie are limited, on Livetype the effects are all but limitless, with the ability to change size and fonts of each letter in a word. Also the movement allowed in livetype creates a very creative enviroment for the user to work in, by doing this i think i managed to create a very effective set of titles for my opening sequence.

However Livetype did cause a lot of problems for users in that, in my opinion, it is over complex. In its complexity it can take an extended amount of time to complete the film and to tie it all together. However the finished product is a lot more polished and looks very professional. I-movie has its advantages in that it is extremely simple to use, however it does not have the quality or the polish that Livetype possesses.
