2. This is the camera that we used in our
film Still Here. It came in this case so
that the camera would stay protected . It
was light weight and easy to use with
little instructions needed. However the
only thing we struggled with was getting
the camera to stabilize but that was due
to our shaky hands. In my previous
works I had only used flip cameras or
my mobile phone so it was exciting for
me to use this. To upload the footage
onto the mac it was simple (we inserted
the SD card into the mac). There was a
spare battery included but we did not
need this as our battery was fully
charged however it was helpful just to
be safe

3. Mac
This is the mac that we used every
lesson, either to use mahara to write a
journal post or to edit our film in final cut
pro. We also tried to make sounds on
garage band but that didn’t work out
how we hoped so we used the sounds
provided. We were able to have easy
access to all our work and it made it
easier to upload our final finished film to
YouTube . I do own a mac so found this
helpful when starting to use it, we also
used it in my GCSE’s so I found no
trouble in using one.
4. Tripod
This tripod was used throughout our
film, it was rare that we didn’t use it
it was only in the case that if we
were doing an over the shoulder
shot or if we were struggling for
space and found that it was easier
to hold. As all our group had used
one before we were already
acquainted and knew how to use all
the features of moving the handle
and tilting it. Our only real struggle
with it was putting it back in the bag.

journal you want to work on
I had never used Mahara before or heard of it however I
think I got the hang of it quite quickly
