WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT ABOUT
TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT.

2. CAMERA WORK
• It is obvious from the difference between our preliminary tasks and final film the huge
improvement in understanding how camera angles affect the outcome.
• We used a tripod in the final film that vastly improved the quality of footage that we could
capture. We also had our cameraman practice holding the camera steady in moving shots
so that it would be less wobbly.
• We also decided to use an external microphone with a wind shield attached so to stop the
white noise that had blighted the in-built microphone. This was brilliant as it allowed us to
record dialogue on scene.

3. EDITING
• I think we improved dramatically in our editing process. In the preliminary we changed
from Imovie to Final Cut Pro and it allowed for a lot of improvement. This was imperative
as our final piece required the use of special effects and editing effects that simply would
not have been possible in Imovie.
• The use of final Cut and its luma keying abilities opened up the possibilities of a much
nicer green screen effect that Imovie. This was useful when incorporating the sniper
scope effect. Without this shot I don’t think the film would have been so impressive and
certainly would not have the same immersive effect.
• The colour filters also made the editing process a lot as it became far easier to find the
right colours and filters for the final film.
