The document discusses various technologies used for a group project, including Blogger for posting information and research, YouTube for processing videos but finding MPEG Streamclip faster, MPEG Streamclip for compressing videos to upload to YouTube, a JVC camera for recording HD footage, a flip camera for feedback, Final Cut Pro for editing clips together, a 500GB hard drive and memory cards for storage, Soundtrack Pro for adding sound layers, and Motion for making an opening ident.
2. INTERNET
• Blogger
• This was used as a the main platform for posting information, research and our tasks.
• Blogger is good as it allows group posts and individual posts with the use of tags.
My tags
3. YOUTUBE
Youtube was really helpful to
process out videos ready for final
cut pro , however as we found out
mpeg streamclip was faster we
decided not to use youtube as
copyright and failed uploads
seems to be issues.
4. MPEG STREAM CLIP
MPEG Stream clip allowed my group
to post videos on YouTube, it was fast
and efficient. As blogger seemed to
struggle to process .mov files we
dragged them in stream clip and
clicked export and it made a
compressed version ready for blogger.
Drag and Drop, then
export
5. CAMERAS
• We used a JVC camera to record our footage in HD.
We used the camera to
record all our shots for the
opening sequence.
We also used a flip
camera to record
feed back.
The still camera was used to
take shots like this.
6. PREZI
• Prezi is and online application used to show ideas, in the form of a presentation. We used
prezi to show our pitch, however prezi is quite difficult to use without its default settings so
customization is quite limited.

7. FINAL CUT PRO
• We edited our clips together, during the prelim and the final project, it is quite easy to use
as it has a snapping features and you can just drag the clips in to the timeline however
using filters, transitions and text is difficult to learn and takes time.
8. MEMORY
• Naturally all this work takes up a considerable amount of space, also its never a good
idea, to not back up your course work. We were issued a 500gb hard drive to store our
work on and memory cards to capture footage on.
Were not the tidiest of
people sadly.
9. SOUNDTRACK PRO
• Soundtrack Pro has a lot to offer in terms of Foley sound the raw clips don’t sound very
good when not matched correctly with the video. Soundtrack allowed multiple layers of
sound which made editing it easier to edit as you could control the volume separately.
10. MOTION
• I used this software to make a distributor ident for our opening.
• I’m not sure how to use motion, so I used the tutorials to make a simple clip.
