What We Learnt About TechnoligiesIf we were to improve the production,

the aspects we might change would be; when using the camera we could try and get a wider variety of shots and this will help to make it look more realistic and then also make it more interesting to watch.

To improve when editing on the mac we can try to make sure that we have the clips In a correct order and make sure that when using effects they are used rarely and effectively.
