1. Digital Technology Investigation
What is digital technology?
The term digital technologies is used to refer to the ever-evolving
suite of digital software, hardware and architecture used in
learning and teaching in the school, the home and beyond.

2. What digital technology do you need
to create a horror film?
CGI - CGI is used for visual effects because the quality is often higher and effects are
more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing
miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows the
creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology. In the horror
genre, CGI may be used to distort the face of the antagonist to make them look
monster-like.
SFX - In motion picture and television production, a sound effect is a sound recorded
and presented to make a specific storytelling or creative point without the use of
dialogue or music. This is vital in the creation of a horror film as they rely strongly on
the use of eerie music to set the tense atmosphere.
Film Editing Software – Without suitable software to edit the film with, the creation of
any film is impossible. Each scene is shot multiple times, from varying angles and then
cut together to create a smooth, interesting final product. It is unrealistic to film an
entire scene in one shot, and expect it to be flawless.
