The document discusses learning how to use various filmmaking equipment and editing software like Final Cut Pro to create an opening film sequence. It describes using a tripod to hold the camera at different heights and angles to film believable scenes. It also discusses learning basic camera functions and taking turns filming. Various websites used in the process are described, including YouTube to find inspiration, Mahara to share work, and SlideShare and Prezi for online presentations. Some initial challenges with editing software buttons are mentioned but with help the author was able to improve their skills.

1. We used our iPhone to take stalker ish photos of me.
As well as use our phone to record a scream so we can
put it in our opening sequence.
We used the tripod to
hold the camera in place
and create effective
scenes that
were believable. We
leant how to change the
height of the tripod and
get a good camera
angle. We as a group
took turns to use the
tripod and play around
with it to make sure we
all feel comfortable with
it.
we didn't learn what all the buttons do on the camera
but we knew the basics. We learnt how to hold the
camera in a place when holding it by hand. We also
learnt how to get good angles. We all took turns and
fully understands the function of the camera so it
made it easy for us to film.

2. I learnt how to use final cut pro I
wasn’t very good in the beginning
but with time I got use to the
buttons. I was even able to
produce my own company ident.
i could play around with
where I wanted the text.
This is the timeline it told me
how long the clip was for.
I could favorite clips from here.
this is where I created the cilp
and put everything together
and edited it.
Playback screen.

3. Websites I used.
These websites allowed the process of my work easier. For
example we used YouTube to watch and gather ideas to create
our own opening sequence. We listen to music here to see what
kind of music we want. As well as watching other films opening
sequence to help us. It taught me how to upload my
videos from final cut pro to youtube as well as being to write
my work.
We also used mahara to put our work on it. We learnt how to
create journals and make our work public. And how to make
links smaller so it doesn’t take a lot of memory so we embed it
We also used SlideShare to post any PowerPoints online and
make it a smaller memory. It was a way of presenting my work in
a fun way instead of just words.
We lastly used prezi. This was a way I could present my work it
was my first time using I learnt a lot and was able to produce
something different that stood out. Using online help I was able
to get through it.

4. Did I have any problems with
anything?
I didn’t have any problems with any
of the websites but when editing
the opening sequence itself it was
hard to know what button does
what but I got there in the end with
other peoples help. I was able to
improve my skills
