2. In pre production we were going to use a small handheld dv
camera however to achieve the shots we had planned we
decided to use a HDV 1080i mini Sony camera as it would
provide us with better shots for example a pull focus
3. When we first used this camera we found it difficult
to use and were unsure of how to use it. On our
first shooting we accidently taped over our
coverage with bloopers as whilst we were viewing it
we forgot to fast forward it back to where we left
off.
The following week we decided to film again after
we had gained experience and knowledge on how
to actually use this camera this time it went a lot
better and we got a variety of shots which we could
choose from
4. Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows private or
multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. Before even
starting to film we had to set up a blog. Previous to this I had
never used blogger before. Blogger during our media project
is like ‘God’ we use it religiously to post all our evidence on
and work on for example our scripts and title sequence
research. Blogger I felt was quite easy to use and I will now
know for in future how to use it and set up a blog
5. Final cut express a video editing software
suite, created by Apple Inc. It was the consumer
version of Final Cut Pro and was designed for
advanced editing of digital video as well as high-
definition video, which was used by many amateur
and professional videographers. I previously had
very little experience in using final cut express as I
had only used it during our pre lim exercise.
However after a few attempts I found it quite easy to
use. I learned how to create a sound bridge over
visuals to aid with continuity editing, also I
discovered how to add titles a moving visual also
how to make some audio quieter in parts than
others. When we finished we made it into a quick
time movie and uploaded it to YouTube so we could
access it wherever
6. Incompetech is a free website which gives you access to
royalty free music. We used this to find our backing music
which adds tension to our film. We found this difficult not to
use but to find a piece which fitted our movie properly as we
were unsure what to search whilst trying to find it. However in
the end we was successful and found an instrumental which
fitted our final product well, downloading the music was also
very easy
