The document discusses the hardware and software used to create a film opening. The hardware included a handheld video camera for portable filming, a USB to transfer files between computers, and a Mac for editing and research. The software used were Photoshop to create graphics, Google for research and image searching, Prezi for slideshow creation, and iMovie for compiling video clips and adding music. While the tools were generally useful, the camera struggled in low light and iMovie had outdated sound editing capabilities.

3. Video Camera
I used a hand held camera similar
to this one to film, it was useful as
it was very portable and simple to
use, it gave good quality shot as
well. The only down side to this
camera was that it was not that
great while filming in darker areas.

4. USB
I used a USB to move files from the macs
to other computers to use different
software.

5. Mac
I used the Mac for most of my editing and research, it
was very helpful with all of my work, only problem
was getting used to the way it works with different
programs.

7. Photoshop
Photoshop was used a lot during parts of my
course work, such as creating my production
company logo and part of my Film opening, it
was of great use as it let my blur in certain parts
of pictures and with the tool like the magic
wand I was able to get rid of colours that did not
suit what I was doing.

8. Google
Google was useful for my research and
searching of images, it also helped me find tips
on editing my film when I was unsure of how to
go about something.

9. Prezi
This website was very useful to create a
presentation for another part of my blog, it is
very simple to use and lets you completely
design it the way you want it to be like, from the
font size and colour to the direction you want
the slides to go in.

10. IMovie
I movie was the software that I
create my videos on, It was very
useful as I was able to take all the
small pieces of video I had filmed and
put them together in correct order, I
was also able to cut unneeded parts
of the videos out such as background
noises and scenes that were too long.
IMovie let me add in music to times
that where needed. The only
difficulty with I movie that I had was
that it was not up to date so I could
not correctly edit the sound.
