1.What new skills, techniques and knowledge have you learnt from producing the preliminary activity?  While producing the preliminary activity,   I have learnt various different things including how to use the camera and tripod and how to use iMovie to edit the footage that has been filmed.  I now know how to correctly setup the tripod, setup the camera, film using various different types of shot, import the filmed footage into iMovie, add titles (at the start of the trailer, and in between various different clips/shots/scenes) and add music (a soundtrack) that fits with the genre of the film that the trailer has been created for. 2. How did you work with other people in your production team?   Overall, I feel that we worked well. However, there was some lack of discussion when the script was changed (although apparently I had been messaged about this). I feel that working in a team to create the preliminary task has helped me with my team working...

Hi all, you (probably) know about my dislike for Apple and their products, and the fact that I have disliked their products for a long time now. There are a variety of reasons for this, but I will not be going into detail about these reason in this blog post. Instead, i'm here to discuss acceptance of opinion, rather than the opinions themselves. So, there are many people who hate Apple and there are many people that love Apple. The problem is, these people that love Apple think that everyone else's opinion is incorrect, and that they should change their minds. They try and convince everyone to change their minds and make everyone like Apple. They shouldn't be doing this. If they do, they should expect people to argue their opinions. Because people have a right to their opinions. Think about it, if your friend buys an Android or Windows Phone because they don't like Apple, but you like Apple, does it really matter to you? No, it doesn't, because you're not t...
