The document discusses the various tools and software used during the pre-production, production, and post-production phases of a film project. During pre-production, the group used iMacs, blogger, a digital bridge camera, Microsoft Excel, and a scanner. The canon video camera, tripods, and tracks were utilized for production. Post-production involved using iMovie to edit the film and freeplaymusic.com was used to find non-copyrighted soundtracks.

1. Pre-Production
iMac
Before the production, we started using the iMacs. Although this
was not my 1st time using one, I was introduced to new software on
it.
Blogger
Personally, I do not think I used blogger as much as I
could have.However, we used blogger to upload our
work and our progress; this was for the examiners and
our teachers to see our development.
Digital bridge cameras
We used a digital bridge camera to capture the photographs
for the stalkers scene in the darkroom. This was easy to use.
An advantage to us was that you could change the type of
focus on the camera.
Microsoft excel
I used Microsoft excel to produce charts from the
results we received through the questionnaires.
Because we had asked questions from exactly 30
people, I thought it would make sense for me to
show the results in pie charts.
Scanner
We used the scanner to scan the storyboards so we
could upload them on to the blog. This was a much
easier option than to have to illustrate the storyboards
on the computer.

2. Production
Canon video camera
We used the canon video camera for our filming. This
came as an advantage to us as it was a HD camera;
therefore we were able to capture our film effectively.
Tripods
The tripod was very effective in helping us film. While filming
some scenes we did feel as if the camera was slanted. This was
entirely our fault as we did not check beforehand to see is the tripod
was on a straight level. To prevent it from happening again, we
always checked the bubble at the top of tripod to see if it was in the
middle.
Tracks
Initially, we were going to use a panning shot when the stalker is
walking across the darkroom. After we shot it, we weren’t very
happy with it, and then one group member suggested we should use
a tracking shot and that showed the right type of mood that we
wanted to create. From this, I learnt that to set the right atmosphere
in the scene. It is important that you use the right shot and
equipment.
Post Production
iMovie
Before the real preliminary task, we had a mock one and in
this we were able to use iMovie to edit it. This was my first
time using it and I learnt a lot from then until now, after the
production. It has taught me a lot, I now know how to edit
clips, cut them, add sound, remove sound, and add
transitions and so on.

3. Freeplaymusic.com
Free play music was a very useful site to search for
non-copyrighted sound tracks. Although they did
have lots of tracks, we finally did come up with
one that we preferred and it was fairly easy to
download.
