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

We used multiple different products to produce our film. To film it we used a small digital camera, which did not produce the highest of quality images, although it was small and compact, which was an advantage as it was quite a commute to get to our filming location. When we first filmed it, we did not take a tripod, and noticed that the footage was quite shakey and unstable. The correct this problem, we re-shot the footage and ensured that we brought a tripod to make sure that the footage was of a higher quality standard.

Once we had shot the footage, we uploaded it onto an Apple Mac in the school Recording Studio, as shown in the picture above. It was easy to upload as all we had to do was connect it, upload it and ensure that we made a copy incase anything happened to the footage.

Then, we uploaded the footage onto Adobe Premiere to edit it. We placed all of the footage onto a timeline, and then rendered it, which was quite a long process. We cut and edited various parts of the footage until we were happy with the final product. Adobe Premiere was extremely easy to use, as it was quick to cut, edit and change any piece of footage.

Then, we converted the footage uploaded our final piece onto YouTube. Uploading it onto YouTube was quite difficult, as it kept encountering errors during the upload. However, with some help from our peers we managed to overcome the problem and upload our footage so that we could get feedback. We also found our music on YouTube, checked that is was not copyrighted, and used an online video converter to get the footage onto Premiere.

I learnt alot of informaton throughout the whole filming and editing process, including:

1) The importance of tripods when filming, as although certain camera's are good without them, to get the best footage tripods are important

2) How to upload the footage onto Adobe Premiere.

3) How to add effects onto footage in Premiere, including fades, dissolves and more.

4) How to add titles onto the footage.

5) How to add titles next to the footage.

6) How to import music.

7) How to important video footage.

We also used iTunes to import our music, Google to find out various information about our chosen genre and target audience, Blogger: to record our progress, YouTube: to watch various other openings to other thriller/horror films, and also to upload out final product. We also used Facebook to share our film with a diverse range of people, and to get their opinions on it. I also uploaded our footage onto the website Tumblr, to see people's opinions on our footage.
