2. The equipment
The only equipment I used for this project was the camera and tripod and I
did not have any issues with them apart from I feel the recording quality was
not up to the standards I expected. However using final cut I was able to
adjust this to get a slightly better video quality.
3. Problems
During filming I encountered many problems but my main one was weather, it was
difficult to find a suitable day to film as it took place outside. Whenever my actors
where free to film it would either rain or snow. In the end I had to settle for
shooting my video in the snow.
4. Movie making
I used final cut pro to make my movie, this was simple to use but still gave the
movie a bit of a professional finish. I did not have any problems whilst using
this program which made the process a lot easier. I do however feel that the
program needs more sound files to be able to cater for a wider variety of
movies and movie genres. I also did not like garage band in the slightest, I
found this program to complicated to use and I was unable to create the
sounds that I wanted using this, therefore I had to settle with using sound clips
from final cut pro.
5. Overall
Overall I feel that some of the technologies can be improved
i.e. garage band and the recording quality of the cameras. I do
also however feel that the programs such as final cut pro are
extremely helpful and useful for amateur movie makers.
