The camera we have used is the same camera we used in the preliminary task and previous years within my time in school. This made it easier and quicker for us as we already knew how to work the cameras. The camera we used was a Cannon MD101 PAL, this camera is just a standard definition SD camera. In order for us to get a good picture we had to keep the camera as still as we could, to help us keep the camera steady we placed it on top of a tripod. The Problem we had was we wanted to some different shots in the film such as the dutch tilt in the first scene and panning shots. when we were doing the dutch tilt we set the tripod out so we could use the handle to keep it as steady as we could. we used the same method for the panning shots. Our film picture quality may have been better if we had a HD camera although we are still pleased with he outcome of our film.
Editing on the LG and HANNS-G computers using 'Adobe Premier Pro':
In our group we decided to edit individually instead of as a group as we thought this was the best idea as we all had different inputs and ideas for our editing.
As i edited individually instead of in a group i learnt a lot about editing and how i can a wide range of effects to exploit our aims of the film. I also learnt a lot of things that i did not include in the film like the pace and tuning effects on the soundtracks. I didn't use some of these due to the fact that i felt it does not fit the aims of the film. We were limited to the amount of effects we could use as we used Adobe Premiere Pro instead of using the Apple Mac software like other groups which was out of our control.Although in the film i edited i experimented with various fades and dissolves to see which fitting the genre the most. I then came to a conclusion of using a cross dissolve on the wording and a constant power audio fade, i also used a zoom in and out on the title screen. To give the extra edge on the horror genre i used a black and white effect throughout the title sequence.
Youtube is a webiste that offers the world videos of almost anything. this cam in handy for me and my group whist doing our horror film as it was good for research. we used youtube for research as it alowwed us to look at some other horror trailers and oppening scenes. This gave us an idea on what was needed for a good stereotypical horror title sequence and opening scene. i already knew how to use youtube as i use it alot in my free time at home. i also used youtube for evaluation 5 when i had to upload my video to youtube to add annotations to explain how i represented the horror genre throught my film.
http://www.google.co.uk/ is the search engine that we used all the time for research. pictures, and finding of sites that may help out edditing such as sound sites. we needed to do this to help create the final product of the film i have finished with because of things such as effects and fonts. we also used Google alot more than intended as we needed to do some research from sites that we found from google.
Digital Voice Recorder:
Our used a device like this to record our voices to put over each of our films. It was essential that we had a good quality of voice so that the voices are clearly heard. we also needed a voice recorder for our evaluation 3 when we needed a voice over our whole film talking through it and answering the wuestion to evaluation 3.
