Here is Q 6&7 of my evaluation.

1. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT
TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT&
LOOKING BACK AT OUR PRELIMINARY
TASK, WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT ?

2. WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT....
• Before going forward and making this thriller opening, I hadn't properly used
any of the equipment or the software to edit and create clips.
• I can now confidently create soundtracks, edit clips, crop clips, re add them
and all things to do with the software. I also now know how to confidently
set up the camera on the tripod or any other form of tripod/gorilla pod etc.
• we tried to use the glide cam but in the end we felt out film would work
better without it as it made shots look messy and not professional.

3. EDITING...
• It took a long time to understand how to edit using Premiere Pro, because of all the different tools,
edit options and cropping techniques.
• Our editing stage was definitely our longest part of the whole thing because it took a lot of time re-
watching clips to see if we made any errors for example in our preliminary task we noticed we could
see our own reflection in the glass and didn't want this to happen again in any point in our thriller
opening.
• If we didn't check every clip for things like this PRELIMINARY TASK EXAMPLE
then it would look very unprofessional and we would lose
marks overall for not noticing and re-evaluating our clips.

4. Editing
• We used transitions between each slide on Premiere Pro to make the titles
look more interesting for the audience. We used a transition called 'sliding
bands' This is where the words flicker onto the screen, here is a screen shot
of the titles mid flicker. After the
flicker the titles appear and then fade out
this also shows how we have tried to make

5. Making the music...
• Originally we was going to use a local band as the music, with their
permission to avoid copyright issues because we feel lyrical songs are more
intriguing to listen to if you are younger which is our target audience. But
due to complications we was not able to use their song which was good in a
way because it challenged our group to make our own songs.
• We used mixcraft to create all of our soundtrack and sound effects. We
distorted some and mixed them in to create a crackling sound to show a
corruption in the headphones of the girl. This was interesting to do because
it allowed me to gain my knowledge on something I had never attempted
before and it worked really well in the finished product.

6. How we feel now...
• I feel so much more confident with all editing software and editing tools because of
the time we spent editing and polishing off our thriller opening. In contrast when
we started the year and started our preliminary task I felt very unsure about using
any software but after this I feel a lot more confident.
• Our storyboarding has also improved, on our preliminary task we spent a lot of
time creating the storyboard instead of actually filming, this time was wasted. So,
with the thriller opening we used all our time effectively and productively to ensure
that we got the task finished in time for the deadline, setting a plan helped us to
stick to this plan.

7. OVERALL....
• I feel so much more confident on all the editing, sound and camera
software's. I can confidently go out and film something and edit it efficiently.
Ensuring there are no errors and for example the mirror problem in the
preliminary task, now I know to always watch back your footage before
moving onto editing. I know to always take 20 minutes worth of filming so
we have a lot of footage to work on and not limited. This allows us to pick
and choose bits from different clips and cross them over and match them up
so they continue on to each other smoothly.
