6) What have you leant about technologies from the process of constructing of this product
During the process of making our open sequence we have used a various types of technologies and programmes to help us finishes our final product.
Prezi was a very creative way to answer our questions and help us in our research. it was successful because it engaged in the viewer as there was lots of functions to illustrate our ideas.
We used Motion 5 to help us create our logo. This was hard at the beginning but with playing around we have found out how to make an animated logo and a normal still logo.
During the actual filming of the opening sequence, we used used a Panasonic HDC -SD90 video recording camera. This camera had a very good quality and filmed really well in both locations. In some scenes it enabled us to use it as a handheld camera. However, in most scenes we used a tripod to make the scenes look professional and consistent. At the beginning the tripod was hard to use, but after practising with it, we have figured out how to use it.
Another major technology we have learnt how to use was the MAC. The apple Mac computer, was a real struggle as non of us knew how to work out how to use it probably. We over came this problem by time, as time went by we all have got used to it and knew all the tips and tricks,
One of the most technologies that helped us in the editing process was Final Cut Pro X. We used it by uploading all the clips from the camera to the Mac and then picked which footage we wanted to include in constructing of our opening sequence. We have trimmed, used the blade tool, added music and affects such as aged film.
Overall we think that we have really learned a lot about the different technologies. Looking back, we think we wasted a lot of time working out how to work the tripod on the camera, which meant we had less time for filming which was annoying. It was worth it in the end though as we could use it to film things like the opening shot of the house, and the shots of the girls together in the different rooms which needed to be steady. Also none of us had used things like changing the focus on the camera to that took time to figure out as well.
We also think we learned a lot about using final cut pro such as the different special effects and transitions which we used such as the transition from the close up of the main character at the beginning to the flashback.
