Evaluation 6 - What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Cannons camcorder: We used this camera to records all of our shots in our opening. The use of this camcorder was simple and the quality was high definition.

Light reflector: Used to reflect light on to our characters during filming. It was hassle free; all you had to do was adjust the position of the reflector.

Tripod: This was essential for stability and consistency whilst filming. The lengths of the tripod can also be adjusted to our desire, which was also key when filming certain shots e.g. the policeman walking up the stairs.

Dolly: This helped when filming tracking shots to keep the camera stable whilst moving it simultaneously.

Apple Mac: The apple mac was a key area of the whole production of our thriller opening. We used the apple mac for the final cut programme for the editing mainly. We also did most of our research on the internet on the mac too.



Blogger: Blogger was used to publish posts of the work I did, upload videos and pictures and to view my teachers blog for advise and links to help me with my research.
Final cut express: The whole editing of the tasks that we had to do, such as filming our opening or preliminary task, was put on to this programme and took place here. Final cut was difficult and complicated when I first started using it but as time went on I became more familiar with it and it made it so easy for me to edit my thriller opening.

Youtube: One of the best sites to view clips of various media products. I used this website for research (soundtracks), viewing current thriller openings (silence of the lambs) and to upload our final cut of our thriller opening.


Photoshop: Editing the logo and cropping out images was the main use of adobe photoshop. I really enjoy using photoshop because of the effects and options that are available when editing.


Livetype: A programme on the apple mac that I used to create titles for our thriller opening. The programme was very easy to use; you just had to type what a credit in and add an effect to it. This was particularly helpful for our juno recreation and thriller opening.
