Digital Technology consists of anything that is a device which is digital with accessibility to apps, the Internet and other programmes or softwares. The use of digital technology furthers peoples creativeness as there is a very wide range to what we can do and use with technology. For example, using the Internet will allow us to do as much research as we wanted to and compile and bricolage all of our research together to create something new, unique and creative.

During my first year of college, my knowledge of editing or how to create and use a blog was very minimal, this meant that my work restricted uniqueness and high quality leading to my final grade to being lower than desired. However, since working with programmes like Photoshop and handling cameras/equipment, it has allowed me to gain more knowledge of technology thus achieving better grades than before.

Since starting to create our horror film trailer, I am now comfortable with using Final Cut Pro, I’ve learnt many things like how to insert different transitions like fade to black/colour, as well as becoming confident with using more complex programmes like After Effects where I’m comfortable with animating texts for my title slates in our horror trailer.

By combining all these different programmes, softwares and technologies, it gives my work a more professional look as there are many different elements used to produce my final products.

These skills that I have developed were all achieved through using and experimenting with digital technology and the softwares/programmes that are accessible with it. I have learnt that creativity can be limited to an extent; knowledge of how to use digital technology will always put at an advantage as you will be experienced with using different tools and elements. Therefore, digital technology expands our creative minds to help us become producers of our own content that is high quality, professional and creative.
