1. Software's Used
By Syed Hussain

2.  Photoshop was used to edit our individual ancillary tasks and also
to edit images. We also used Photoshop to create our credits for
our main product. We used Photoshop as we felt it was the best
image manipulating software and it was easy to use. It had
advanced tools that other websites or software’s didn’t have.

3.  We didn’t use Final Cut Pro 5; we used the earlier edition of Final
Cut Pro 2. This software allowed us to edit the footage that we
had filmed for our main task. It was the most advanced film
editing software we could use as Windows Movie Maker was too
basic and we needed a software with an extra edge which this
provided. It allowed us to add things that weren't there in the
first place.

4.  We will use Soundtrack Pro to add and manipulate sounds into
our main production so that it looks natural and fits the main
production well. There were areas in the main product where it
was silent and we needed non-diegetic music to make it seem
natural and give it that extra edge. As the editing for the main
product was done on a Mac with Final Cut Pro, we decided to use
it on the same Mac.

5.  We used Microsoft Word to do most of our blog work and
uploaded it with Scribd so that it was viewable online. We also did
our important documentations like our ‘Health and Safety’,
‘Location Release Form’ and others. We also conducted most our
research on Word like our questionnaires.

6.  Celtx was used to create the script for our main production. We
could have used Microsoft Word to make it but it was much easier
using it on this software as it had different layers and showed
how to set out the script.

7.  Scribd was used to upload our Word documents on it and then
onto the blog from there. It was an easy was of keeping our work
interactive and available online.

8.  Bubbl.us is used to create a brainstorm, and we used it to create
a brainstorm for our production so we knew how to set about with
our idea and in what direction we would be heading.

9.  Slide share was used to upload our presentations onto our
individual blogs and our main blog. It allowed an easy way of
uploading our presentations and making it viewable to our
audience.

10.  We used Blogger to upload all our personal and group work onto
it, so that it was more interactive and it allowed our work to be
visible and available to everyone. It also allowed our work to be
interactive.

11.  We didn’t use excel as much but we did use it for our budget so
that we could calculate where we spent the money and how much
it would cost us.
Microsoft Excel

12.  We used PowerPoint to make some of our work like the Trial
Photos and like this, ‘Software’s Used’. It was easy to make and
use and also easy to upload; it would make our work more
interactive.

13.  Youtube was a key part where we uploaded our main product so
that it was available to our viewers and the audience. It would
also help us with our evaluation when editing our video on how
we did.
