- To answer this question you must show the examiner you're aware of the technologies you have used, how they helped you and what impact they had on the process.
- Each time you mention a technology use a specific example from your process/product to back up your point.
- A good point to make is how many of these technologies work well together - for example: You took digital camera footage uploaded it into Final Cut, edited, exported it, uploaded it to youtube, embedded it onto your blog and then were able to get feedback from your audience. So a combinaton of the technologies allowed you to get feedback on your rough cut.
