1. QUESTION 6
We used different technologies to create our media product. We also
used equipment such as cameras and tripods to help film the vital shots
we needed.
We used an establishing shot to introduce the setting then carried the
sweeping motion on with the panning of the equipment. We did these
with a camera on a tripod to create a steady clear focused shot. Upon
doing this we used our storyboard to help guide us. Using the equipment
was fairly easy, as we had used them previously so we were very familiar
on how to use them.
As well as the equipment we used
different technologies such as
Garage Band, Live Type and Final Cut
HD.
When using Live Type none of us had
used it before so it was quite
confusing at first. However once we
used it more and more we got the
hang of it. We changed the size,
tracking and leading then the effects
and style from a list it gave us to get
the right horror/thriller feel type
effect for our movie title.
We also used Garage Band to help
create our music. We used the effects and loops that it had within the
music creator at first to get the right tense creepy sounds. We then went
on the use loyalty free music that worked really well in our media
product. We then used Tom to put a
voice over at the beginning. Because
of this we changed the volume
control so you can hear him clearly.
Overall I think that using Garage Band
worked well and it was easy to use.
Itcreated good music that went well
for our media product.
2. Lastly we used Final Cut HD to
edit our clips. We used it
before so we were familiar
with how to use it. We
imported the clips we needed
and then edited them
individually which took quite a
bit of time. Once we had all the clips edited on the time line we started
to insert fades and other transitions to give the feel of time passing by
and to lengthen our video.After that we started to insert text to show
the cast members names. Overall we feel as though it was easy to use
after using it time and time again to get the hang
of how it works, the only problem we really had
was how to export it into a HD clip but after
searching and experimenting on the export
settings we found out how.
From using these technologies and equipment
we found out that using a tripod was really
important as it helps get a steady clear shot
which is important to make it look professional.
Furthermore that editing is important too in
having a professional media product.
