1. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product?
AS Evaluation Question 6
THE PHYSICAL TECHNOLOGIES I USED:
•The Camera
•Studio Lights
•A Tri-pod
•Shoulder Stabilizer Support System
•Mac & a Mac Book Pro

2. I used a camera on top
of a Tri-Pod, the camera is
obviously used to film all
the footage that got
filmed. The main decisions
when filming with the
camera is to make sure the
position is good, for after
all the shooting is done to
ensure clips are able to be
a good enough standard to
put together to be shown
to our audience. Also I
needed to make sure I
followed all rules for
example 180 degree rule
ensuring we don’t
disorientate the audience
when watching back.
Under the camera, we used a Tri-
Pod, this is so when we were filming
the majority of our shots they were
steady straight shots so that the
footage taken is not wobbly so the
clips look very professional.
I used studio lights at this scene below so I
could fully control the entire lighting in this scene.
I wanted high key lighting so it’s clear to the
audience that this is a nice friendly scene. So it
would clearly
add a lot of
emphasis to
the ‘scarier’
scenes when
I will use low-
key lighting.

3. I used the Shoulder
Stabilizer Support System
in the scene where the stalker is
just about to grab Chloe. After the
stalker walks down the stairs of
the train station he is a few feet
away from Chloe and when he
speeds up his walk to catch her
that’s when I decided to use this
piece of equipment. This is
because I can really add emphasis
to the speed increase from the
stalker and using this even though
the footage moves about quickly
with this technology it keeps the
camera straight so I could
maintain the professional look I
require for my film title opening
sequence.

4. I used a Mac Book Air during my
opening film title sequence, I used this
when showing the audience when the
stalker begins to stalk Chloe. I learned
how I can add emphasis to my stalker
using modern day technology so that
my stalker looks advanced and looks
professional.
I used an iMac to edit all of my footage
together to create my film opening title
sequence. I learnt a lot on Final Cut Pro
X from using this technology in the
process, how to cut clips, add
transitions, fades, change colour
contrasts and much more. I also used
the iMac to do all my research where I
learnt all about other real media
products that are similar to my own
thriller film.
