2. When constructing the title sequence I learnt that
technology plays a large part in pre production,
production and post-production. I was introduced to
a range of technologies, the first technology I was
introduced to is the camera. As the director of my
title sequence, I was responsible for everything
happening including the camera so I had to make
sure I had a clear on what I was doing. The key to
learning how this technology work is by using them.
As I continued to use the camera I realized that I was
getting better.
3. When using the camera I learnt that I needed
more than one shot of a scene and I from
different angles, I learnt how to position the
camera to get a good shot of the different angles.
When shooting the hand held camera scenes I
learnt that the farther my hands are from the
camera the less shaky it will be, so I used a mini
tripod to reduce how shaky the scene will be.
4. I used a green screen in two of my scenes,
the science lab scene and the news report
scene. I used After Effect to add the
background of a science lab and a news
report I got of the Internet. I didn’t know
how to use After Effect but I researched it
on the internet and asked my teacher for
help and I was a able to use it and as I
continued using it I got better at it.
5. I used Photoshop to create the news reports that were used in the
title sequence.
I edited my title sequence on software on the school mac called final
cut pro. I wasn’t good at using this software but my teacher made us
use it for a continuous sequence project and I continued using since
then and I have gotten better at it.
Due to the fact I had never done Media Studies before or had never
come across this piece of software when I first started I didn’t know
how to use the software to its maximum potential. The class had a
Final Cut Pro lesson in which we were taught the basic features and
effects that it provides, once I had learnt how to use it I pick up the
more advanced features and ways to do something quickly. I learnt
that when using this software patience is a vital asset, this is because
editing takes time to
