2. Camera
This is the camera we used for our entire visual recording. Although the camera
can record both visually and acoustically, there are some limitations for one; the
audio quality on the camera is not so good at picking up voices and the actual
camera cannot record as good a quality as other cameras used in films. From
using this equipment we have learned about the background sound when
filming as it effective in picking up the unwanted noises.
3. Tripod
The tripod was used to stabilize the camera while we recorded our product. A
limitation of this was that it took up a lot of space and was not very smooth
while panning. The most important piece of knowledge we have gained from
using the tripod is that of the stability as it is key if you are trying to film a
steady shot.
4. Mac
Here is the Mac, which we used for editing. Macs are often used in
film production because they are compatible with a lot of useful
editing software. The Mac was key for the production process of our
product as a lot of the time we spent making our product we were
using the Mac to either gain some background info on what are film
should be like, editing the film and uploading the film. The only
difficulty we had was that some Mac's didn’t upload the footage that
we had filmed so we had to use a different Mac.
5. I Movie and Garageband
This is the software we used for editing We used this product to create
our product. The software had many some sound effects for our
features such as transitions, sound product such as the radio
effects etc. However, there were some broadcast, the scream etc. It was
limitations while using this software i.e.
extremely easy to use as it took
there were a limited number of
transitions/effects, aswell as the sound
only a matter of minutes to create
being difficult to edit. It was very easy and it helped us a lot in getting the
to use and helped us in adding sound right effects we wanted for our
effects to our products. film.
6. Youtube and Facebook
Youtube was a vital part of our project as Facebook was helpful to us as we
we used it to look at previous films that were able to post our videos onto
had our style of genre to gain feedback facebook and gain feedback from
from. We also used Youtube to upload people on the website. Very easy
our drafts of the project and then our to use and easy to get feedback
final cut of the project. It was easy to use from.
and easy to get feedback from.
7. Phone
For recording the director’s commentary and the radio broadcast, we
used a phone. The phone did well at recording the audio clearly but a
limitation was that the audio quality could have been better with
different equipment. It was again to easy to record and it was also
easy to piece together the different parts of the commentary.
