When creating our thriller opening sequence a lot of media technologies were obviously
used. The main ones probably being the edit suite, camera and tripod. Because I did Media
in GCSE, I got to know the editing software, Adobe After Effects, and became quite
competent in using it. So when we had to create examples of Continuity Editing, Remaking
an existing Opening Sequence, doing our Preliminary Task and now our Thriller Opening
Sequence I already had past experience with the software and therefore knew the basics.
However, I have learned some new skills because we have had to perform tasks which we
were not required to do in GCSE. Becoming further competent in the edit suite has allowed
me and my group to create a really good Opening Sequence with fast paced action scenes
and slow paced dramatic scenes which bring out the emotions of the audience which we
wanted it to. Moving from Analogue to Digital camera has allowed us to get a lot more indepth and better quality shots. With the Analogue camera, we used in GCSE, it would have
been practically impossible to get hand held shots as it was too big and delicate to run
around with. The Digital Camera on the other hand is much smaller and produces better
quality footage, and the footage is also easier to upload to the computer as it only requires
putting the SD card into a slot on the computer. Me and my group have all become
competent with the Canon 700D camera we use and this has allowed all of us to film
scenes within our Opening Sequence as we all play characters in it. Lastly, the tripod has
allowed our group to get stable, non-shaky scenes which are used both in the fast and slow
paced scenes.
In a lot of our scenes the sound quality was very low and you could hear the
wind on the camera which made the overall quality of the footage quite
bad. To counteract this limitation we used the art of Foley, which is
essentially when we post-record sound in a recording studio and then add it
on top of the footage in the editing program. It was especially useful in our
handheld scenes where we were running because the wind was a very
prominent sound and ruined the drama of the scene. Because there were
limited places we could record where there would be total silence and
wouldn’t be any background noise, we used the a room in the Music
Department. We used the Garage Band software on a Mac computer, this
particular software allowed us to record professional sound which we were
then able to add in to our Opening Sequence on Adobe After Effects. We
used Foley for footsteps, background noise, the odd rustle of leaves and
also some points in which the characters spoke, because the background
noise made the speech sound like it was bad quality. Foley is very
useful, and it was especially useful to us because we needed to use it for a
vast majority of our scenes.
Throughout our blog we have been asked to constantly use a different range
of social based sites so that we can communicate our ideas and work in
multiple ways. Using sites which manipulate the different ways in which we
can communicate ideas, we have been able to explore other social
technologies. I have used the majority, if not all, of the social technologies
which have been recommended to use some of these being
Prezi, Pinterest, Padlet, Slideshare and YouTube. One social technology we
also used was Skype, we used Skype to host a video conference call with
Michael Harrowes who has been mentioned in a couple of my previous
posts. Using technologies like Prezi has allowed me to communicate my
ideas in a different way as of opposed to the typical text on a page, which I
feel has aided me with my blog.
