The document discusses the technologies used to create an opening sequence for a company. It describes using a camera and tripod for filming, Final Cut Pro for editing shots and adding credits and effects, and an iPad for recording voiceovers. Research involved storyboards, Pinterest for props, YouTube for examples, and PowerPoint for presentations. Websites like YouTube, Prezi, Google, Bensound, Storyboard That, and Slideshare supported planning, research, and gathering feedback at different stages of production.

What we used:

3. Planning and filming
• When planning our opening sequence we used many different
many different forms of research.This included creating
storyboards, Pinterest for outfits and props planning, Pearl and
Dean to research the thriller genre andYouTube to watch
examples.We also used power points to present our ideas.
•
• When actually creating our opening we used a range of
equipment.We used a camera and tripod for the actual filming
which allowed us to achieve a variety of shots.

4. Final Cut Pro
Timeline-By editing the shots in a number of
ways e.g using the blade tool to adjust clips, we
were able to achieve the feel to the opening
that we wanted.
Text editing-Here we edited and added in
all the credit information for our opening.
We also created our company ident using
the tools here.The ident especially adds
to the professionalism of our opening.
Effects/Transitions-Here we chose
from a variety of available effects. For
example we made many of our shots
in the woods darker to create a more
eerie and mysterious feel.We also
used 'flash' and 'blur' transitions
between our shots during the
flashback portion of our video.This
added to the dreamy feel we were
trying to achieve.
Soundtrack-We added in a
copyright free soundtrack
to our opening which we
got form bensound.com
We also layered lots of
diagetic sound throughout
the opening.

5. Websites/applications used
YouTube was useful during
both the research/planning
and certain evaluation tasks. I
usedYouTube to look at other
thriller opening sequences as
well as to annotate our
opening and receive feedback
on our final cut.
Prezi was a useful presentation
tool that made research and
evaluation tasks more engaging.
Google was used for just
all round research on all
aspects of our production.
Bensound allowed us to find some
copyright free music that was well suited
to our opening so we could achieve the
opening effect we wanted.
Storyboard that was useful
in creating the final
storyboard during the
planning stage of our
opening.This meant we
were prepared and had a
good idea of what we were
filming in advance of the
filming day.
Slideshare was another
good method of
presenting our ideas to
others in order for us to
receive feedback and
improve our
ideas/production.
Pearl & Dean was
very important during
research of target
audiences and
understanding who
our target audience is.
