2. In Post production we used programs such as Cubase to create music that would
eventually be in our film. This was a great tool for our production team as it
allowed us to experiment with different instruments on a virtual level and also
use our own ideas to influence the final cut of our film.
Another feature that I liked about this software is the speed and ease required to
use it, it is also relatively easy to learn how to use which is essential when
working to a deadline.
3. We used a “Zoom” mic to record the audio for our films radio trailer, we found this new
technology hard to use at times but eventually managed to use it effectively in our
work. This recording device was very advance compared to previous methods of
recording that we have used and greatly improved our final product.
To find out how to use the mic to the best of our ability we used YouTube to find a
guide as shown here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bQ06xgTyak
4. Although YouTube was used slightly in our first year I personally made much more use
of this tool in the second year in the sense that I researched a large amount of shot
types and filming techniques when creating our shot list in pre-production.
5. Google Docs was a great tool to have at our disposal for many reasons, one of which
being that we could create questionnaires and then receive responses from our
target audience. I personally believe by doing this we greatly improved our post
production marketing strategy and made our film more sellable.
Google Docs was also useful as we could access documents and work from multiple
locations rather than having to constantly use the same device.
We also used twitter and Facebook to publicise our questionnaire and ask people to
fill it in. Dispensing our questions in this way was effective because we could
distribute our work easily and to a mass audience.
6. In my second year I again used a HD1000 but this time around I got the chance some of
the more technological features that area available on the camera such as aperture
adjustment and also we got chance to experiment with night shooting modes but didn’t
put these features into our final film as we found some of the footage to be grainy and
sometimes of a low quality which held us back slightly.
7. Slide Share allowed me to easily embed slideshows such as this one in the
evaluation stage of my work, this is a great tool to have as it allows people to
view my work without leaving the web page they are currently on.
8. We used a Zoom recorder to create the radio trailer for our film and also
record some basic sound effects in post production. One of which being
the punches and hits in the fight scene. This new technology we had
available allowed us to produce high quality work with ease and also
record very clean audio with low noise in the high and low frequencies.
