Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of construction this product?

Apple Mac

We used the Apple Mac in order to do everything to regarding our project. This was used to add all our footage and do all of our work regarding our blogs uploading work etc as well as to research, edit and save all our data. I personally had never used a Mac to produce a video so at times i did find it difficult because i didn't know how to do certain things e.g. how to add an extra tab which i now know how to do. 

Camera

We used a Canon E05 in order to shoot all our work. We also used it to take a few pictures of us on the set of scenes. For me i personally didn't really use the cameras because i  thought i was going to break it but, i later got into grips with it and i then began to help with retrieving footage. 

Microphone

We used a microphone to record sound that we needed in our film and also voice overs which was placed on the top of the camera therefore allowing us to get high quality of sound. We mainly used the microphone as we were introducing each character in the opening of our film which we then had to do a few times so that we didn't leave anything out. 

Lighting

We used lighting as a way to set the scene and make the scene more realistic and, where were then able to use filter papers in order to make the light more realistic or to set the atmosphere. I was in charge of lighting and i really enjoyed it because i was able to decide what kind of light would fit the scene however i did burn myself a few times which thought me to be careful. 

Tripod 

We used a tripod in order to keep the camera steady for example with a panning shot. We did not always use the tripod but it was always around when we needed it to get really good shots which were then used in getting footage of hackney and also in the house scene. 

Imovie 

Through Imovie we were able to edit our film more effectively as well as put things into order of how we wanted the film to go. One problem was that Imovie was very limited and so we were only able to add simple transitions which therefore made the editing more Elliptical than Continuos. 

Celtx

From Celtx we were able to write out scripts which we wanted the actors to say as well as the production schedule alloying us to different places at different times. I particularly loved working with Celtx because i was then able to make things into scripts without out things looking weird. I was then able to download it at home and start making my own scripts. 

Blog

Blog was a way to write down my progress as well as assess myself in what was happening during the making of the film. I was also able to upload my video as well as questions thats related to the film. 

Youtube 

Through youtube we were able to find some inspiration of what we wanted our film to be about as well as figure out what it was that people liked and how we could adapt it into our film. We were also able to identify the music that would go with the some which was "Another Day" by Jamie Lidell
