Filming
In the process
of constructing our product, our group has learnt many things in able to
produce a professional piece of work. By using a digital HD camera, we managed
to produce a better quality film to capture every aspect in the frame clearly
which made our film look very professional. We experimented with non- HD
cameras too and noticed a clear difference in quality with the HD camera.
Our group also
learnt that using a tripod for still images and panning proved a lot better
than hand-holding the camera because there were no shakes or unsteady filming
with a tripod because a tripod allows the camera to be completely still which
was necessary when filming certain scenes such as shots in the woods and for
the characters in the car to indicate the car had stopped. Also, a tripod can
be leveled and altered to suit a particular shot which our group found very
useful because it allowed us to use a range of different shots such as panning
up, staying on eye level and filming from the ground. These shots were very
successful in our piece.
Editing
When editing
our film, our group used Final Cut Pro designed for Mac computers. It was helpful
software because it enabled us to use many different transitions, add titles
and collate our piece together professionally. Each group member participated
in editing parts of our film. We found the software easy to use and found quick
ways to cut clips we did not need.
General
For each piece
of work that contributed to the main task, we had to display this work on a
blog which helped keep our work organised and clearly showed the planning and
research we produced to help us in our main task. Each member of the group has
a personal blog which all our work is uploaded to in order to keep our work
stored in one place. On the blog we uploaded posts relevant to our film
including research on the BBFC, other relevant films and an animatic version of
our storyboard that we had to produce to help with our planning of the scenes.
Originally, the storyboard was on paper but to show our knowledge of new
technology, we converted the storyboard to an animatic version which was clear
to understand through only images.
