Technology Week

During the technology week i set myself a number of targets so I can be prepared and have a greater understanding of the technology i will use to create my media products.

I have spent over 4 hours on photoshop CS5. I needed to spend a long time period on photoshop CS5 as i have never used this program before i was only familiar with the CS3 version. After this week i can now produce a successful digipak and magazine article and i have made a mock up of a digipak.

I have experimented with the shutter speeds and appature with my SLR camera. I have experimented with these camera aspects because I want to change the depth of focus that is normally achieved by just using the auto setting on a camera.

I have tried to achieve a stock motion video by streaming many images together showing movement. I have practised this as I want to use this in my music video and practice would give me a deeper understanding how this would work.

What is the relationship between technical skills and creativity?

Technical skills can be used to create a creative piece of work for example by changing the shutter speed or lense to a fish eye lense you can create a completely different image making it look creative and individual.
