1. 6 – WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT
TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?
Chelsea Marshall
2. INTERNET
I used the internet for all my research. I used
websites like IMDb for finding out the production
companies etc. for each film similar to my own
ideas. I also used search engines to find out
about target audiences, genre, film opening
structures etc. all of this really helped when
deciding on my final idea but also the editing.
3. CAMERA
For our opening we used a hand held video camera.
We used a personal one which I had at home but we
should of used a school one as they get much better
footage. We learnt this after filming and therefore
had to edit the footage on final cut.
4. LIVE TYPE
I used many different programs to edit my
footage together. I used live type to make an
idents for the start of our opening. This was new
to me as id never used it before but also a short
brief on the program we created two idents one
called paranormal pictures and the other morgue
productions. These worked really well at the start
of our opening and showed the production
companies.
5. FINAL CUT
I then used final cut express to edit the footage
together. This was also a new program to me. I
found it easy to use after a while and started to
experiment with the footage. For example I used
the filters to change the colour of some of the
footage I also overlayed them which I think
looked really effective for our genre, horror.
6. SOUNDTRACK PRO
I also used soundtrack pro to edit together the
backing music for our film. This was yet another
new program to me and I had to play around with
this program before starting our music. I found
this program harder to use as there is a such a
huge range of clips to search through to find the
right ones but also then putting them together
was hard to make it flow easy.
