During the process of making our film opening I have learn about a lot of different electronic devices, programmes and also improving my editing skills. Throughout the production I used a number of different software and different electronic devices.
Planning and Research
During the stage of planning and research I have been using Blogger, this was to keep all the information that I had gathered and the notes that I made. I also used Blogger to show the stages of my production and any work that I had completed. I had also used an App called Whats-App on my phone, this was to communicate with Aaron, Lydia and Lucia so that we could arrange days when we were all able to film. We also took pictures of our chosen locations use a Coolpix L810 camera and then we uploaded them onto our blogs. During our research and planning stages I looked at different films as inspiration for our production, to do this I used the website Art of the Title, I also used Youtube to watch opening sequences to some films.
Production
During the production process we used a Coolpix L810 camera, this camera type of camera was used by most of the rest of our class, we would of used a different camera so that it would be better quality, however the cameras that were available to us in school where better than our own cameras, to support the camera and to ensure that we got nice and steady shots we used a Velbron DF-41 tripod. Although we did not include it we did try to use a strobe light on one of our previous ideas, however we were unable to get the full effect that we wanted so we decided to leave it out of production.
Post - Production
After we had finished filming all the footage that we needed we then started to edit our footage and music. To do our editing we used Adobe Premiere. We used number of different editing functions, this was so that we give the horror effect. We found our soundtrack that we used in our film opening from Youtube, after we had found the track that we wanted we had to convert it into an MP3 file, to do this we used a website called "Youtube to MP3 converter", after we converted the file into an MP3 we then had to import it into Premiere. Most of the software that we used during the post-production I was still very new to and some I had never used before.
Evaluation
Overall I believe that the most important piece of software that we throughout the entire process was Adobe Premiere. I believe that Premiere was extremely important during this process because it was what we used to edit all our footage together and our music and gave us our final product, if we did not use Premiere then I might not of been able to shape and manipulate our footage in the way that I visualised it would end up, moreover if I did not use Premiere I would of had to use other software that I would of had no experience with and the final product would not be as good as it could of been if I had used Premiere. Another important piece of software which I think was extremely significant was Google search engine. Google was the search engine that we used for all our research and without we would not of been able to get any research which means that we would not of been able to find any inspiration for our film opening and we would not of been able to establish our target audience and how to address them in our production.
