AS Media Question three
- 1. HOW DID MY PRODUCTION SKILLS DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT?
- 2. CAMERA WORK To film my thriller opening I used my own camera which is a Canon 750D. From this being my own camera I’d had quite a lot of experience with it so I knew how to do the basics. However, I usually use this camera for photos so filming with this camera was new to me. Working out out to make certain shots look good by, for example zooming in and out and learning how to focus was all new to me. My production skills have developed through my camera work as I now know how to use my camera properly to film and make certain shots look good. This will help me for future media products and have a better understanding of and about this industry.
- 3. BLOGGER In order to record my process in learning about thrillers and making my own thriller I used an online blogging site called ‘blogger.’ Before using blogger I had never created a blog before which meant that using blogger was new to me. Using Blogger has developed my production skills because being able to track my process and having something to refer back to has been really helpful. I will be able to use blogger confidently in the future within future projects.
- 4. FINAL CUT PRO In terms of editing my thriller film I used the program ‘Final Cut Pro.’ The only thing I have previously used that is remotely similar to final cut pro is Imovie. However, final cut pro has a lot more technical aspects to it and due to this, I had a lot more to learn. Things such as, adding titles, effects, selecting and cutting clips etc; Using final cut pro helped my production skills develop a lot as when starting this project I knew nothing about editing. After experiencing the use of Final Cut Pro I was easily able to adapt to its features and teach myself how to use it.
- 5. QUICK TIME PLAYER In order to screen record my film and other clips o use for my evaluation I had to use an app called ‘Quick Time Player.’ quick time player was completely new to me when I first used it. Quick time Player has helped me develop my production skills throughout this project as I now know how to use it through future projects, also it really helped me throughout my evaluation as I was able to easily refer back to my film when I needed too.
