What have you learnt
about technologies from
the process of
constructing your
product?
By Alexzander Anderson
Blogger
During the process of creating
my movie I have regularly
blogged each stage of the
creation of the film. The
benefits of using blogger is
that it is easy to access from a
lot of a lot of sources for
example, computers, tablets,
phones etc. We also did
research about other films and
characters in them to plan our
movie and the type of genre it
was going to be and also for
evaluation purposes.
Google
Google was used as the
basis of all our research to
do with our film. Google's
search engine was the
building block for our film.
YouTube
YouTube was used to look an
other thriller films for a type of
inspiration for our own. It
allowed us to see how
producers used certain
aspects of mis en scene and
how characters were
portrayed and the
stereotypes they had. We
exported our film to YouTube.
This became a good
distributor to advertise our
film.
Digital SLR Camera
We used Digital SLR
Camera to record all of our
footage. We learnt how use
these cameras to generate
different camera shots and
make our choice of shot
have an effect on the
genre of our film. We also
used tripods which was
attached to the camera for
more stability hence a
clearer image.
Royalty Free/License Free
Music Sites
We used Royalty Free/License Free
musc sites for the soundtrack for
our film. This was because we didn't
want to breach any copyright laws.
These music sites had a good
range of music to choose from
which made choosing one sound a
hard task.
Apple Mac
Apple Mac’s were used
in the process of creating
our short film because
they have the program
that we needed to edit
our film which was Final
Cut X Pro.
Final Cut X Pro
I used Final Cut X Pro for
all of the editing of my
film. This program is
particularly good
because of the various
features that it has that
helped us enhance all
the footage that we
caught and really
changed it into a
fantastic production.
