QUESTION 6 - Rough Edit

-->
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?

The strengths of the camera equipment was that it was portable so we were able to move easily with the camera, without using any added equipment such as a jib, also a very good battery length which meant we could record for a long period of time without needing to stop and charge the batteries. However, the camera equipment was not waterproof so if we wanted to film when it was raining we couldn’t. The quality of the camera wasn’t the best meaning the film lacked a professional graphical quality. During our time of filming the opening sequence we faced a few problems, but the main problem was trying to find the right date and time that all the actors could make, as we scheduled a few times before our final filming process that had to be cancelled due to the actors saying they couldn’t attend to film on that day. Furthermore, another problem was that the weather delayed our filming time; due to the fact that it was snowing and the cameras were not waterproof this meant that we struggled to hit the deadline but we managed in the end. Our original idea for the opening sequence was going to be well over the set time, so we decided to cut bits of the opening sequence out which meant it would shorten the length. When we filmed the final edit of our opening sequence we didn’t use and new equipment to enhance the film due to the lack of time we had and the fact that we didn’t really need to use any of the equipment because the film was of good standard. The editing software we used to produce the final cut of our opening sequence was final cut. This software was good enough to produce the type of project we wanted to create. We have learnt how to change the saturation of the film by putting it into black and white we also learnt how to use the software appropriately and to a good standard. I found the software Garageband easy and useful after I got my head around how to use it; Garageband has set loops that I mainly used to create the soundtrack for the film. The challenge I faced was finding the correct loops that would be genre specific to the film.

This question will be presented through a video, to show the audience our examples while we explain the point.
