1. Q6. Technologies
During the Film making course, there have been
numerous amounts of technologies which we have used
to help produce a smashing final product.

2. These technologies range from software such as; Final
Cut Pro, Garageband, Camtasia, Blogger, Vimeo, Prezi,
Slideshare, Safari and even Flickr.

3. We also used Technologies such as a JVC digital
video recorder, memory cards, still camera flip
camera, video drive, Apple Macs and lighting.

4. To help us with constructing the Film opening, we
used the technologies specified in the previous
slide in combination with each other.
 Final Cut Pro was one of the main sources of technology we
used. This piece of software allowed us to place the shots
we had taken for the film and put them on a set timeline,
hence giving us a strong base for editing. After setting the
shots down in Final cut Pro, we set out to order them and
also shorten them where necessary. Once we finished
setting the shots down and ordering them, we set about
adding special effects such as cross dissolves, slowing down
speed and even adding a nice negative blue effect to help
create a sinister effect.

5.  Another main source of technology that we used in the
production stage was the JVC digital video recorders. We
used this technology to film, so obviously it is an important
asset to the production of our Psychological Thriller film
opening. Not only did we use the JVC digital recorder to film
our film opening, but we also used it to film our Prelim.

6.  One other Technology that we used was the software ‘Garageband’.
Seeing as we needed to produce a soundtrack, and we had no previous
producing skills, we questioned YouTube until we found
our answer What it came up with was Garageband, a piece of software
that luckily, City and Islington Sixth form provides. We watched the
tutorial and hence found out how to use it.

7. Conclusion
 In conclusion, we believe that the overall usefulness,
creativity and effectiveness of the technologies that we
used were to a high standard. Our shots were quite good,
we used many over the shoulder shots, we followed the
180 degree rule when filming with the JVC digital video
recorder and our editing using software such as
Garageband and Final cut Pro was superb if we may say
so ourselves. There were however some shots in the final
product that we could have re-filmed if we had more
time. Also if we had more time, there were some bits of
editing that we do add to the final product like
additional shots to make our film opening longer and also
we would have spent more time using Garageband to
produce a better soundtrack.
