2. HardwareHardware
Video Camera:Video Camera: I used a video camera to film our film opening and also
our preliminary task. This was to use our skills in using different
camera techniques, camera movement and shots. This was also to
make it professional by using a high digital camera. I gained a variety of
skills by learning a variety of shots to take, zooming and tilting. I
learned how to shoot them and learned a huge amount of camera
movements too. These could be used for future projects and different
situations.
Tripod:Tripod: I used a tripod when filming our opening and also small class
projects. This was because our footage included and needed a steady
camera shot at one straight level. A tripod gives you a professional
outcome instead of using your hands to make a steady shot. Also with
the Tripod you are able to shots like panning, track and tilt shots,
which are difficult to achieve with just hands. I learned that the tripod
is a essential piece of tool needed when making films and provides a
professional finish. I also learned how to adjust and manage the tripod
to your satisfaction.
iMac:iMac: We used the iMacs when editing our film opening and
completing our tasks. The Macs are a professional equipment which
allows you to use a variety of software’s and tools to make literally
anything. I have gained skills of using and controlling the Mac
computer to a standard level and now have confidence in using one, as
they are not like normal computers.

3. SoftwareSoftware
Final Cut Pro:Final Cut Pro: I never knew how to use Final cut pro but I had to
learn to create a good understanding of my media skills. We used
final cut pro as our final editing software to make our film as it
allows you to use professional tools, effects and it really easy to use
once getting the hang of. I learned how to use it with confidence
and how to edit any video to a professional standard.
Photoshop:Photoshop: I used Adobe Photoshop to make my mood board for
my genre. I also used this software to make some posters and
effective pictures for small tasks. i also used Photoshop for my
Production company logo and as of more I used this software I got
better and gained more confidence. I was really pleased with my
production company logo. Photoshop allows professionalism and
clear, high quality photos. I am able to use Photoshop without any
difficulty.
iMovie:iMovie: I started off using iMovie for my film opening because it
was a useful software and had some really good tools and effects. I
gained a lot of skills using this software as it is a useful and
essential iMac software but I then later decided to use Final Cut Pro
as my final editing software. I learned how to use the editing tools
and how to merge different clips together with confidence.
