Question 6
- 1. QUESTION 6 We used different technologies to create our media product. We also used equipment such as cameras and tripods to help film the vital shots we needed. We used an establishing shot to introduce the setting then carried the sweeping motion on with the panning of the equipment. We did these with a camera on a tripod to create a steady clear focused shot. Upon doing this we used our storyboard to help guide us. Using the equipment was fairly easy, as we had used them previously so we were very familiar on how to use them. As well as the equipment we used different technologies such as Garage Band, Live Type and Final Cut HD. When using Live Type none of us had used it before so it was quite confusing at first. However once we used it more and more we got the hang of it. We changed the size, tracking and leading then the effects and style from a list it gave us to get the right horror/thriller feel type effect for our movie title. We also used Garage Band to help create our music. We used the effects and loops that it had within the music creator at first to get the right tense creepy sounds. We then went on the use loyalty free music that worked really well in our media product. We then used Tom to put a voice over at the beginning. Because of this we changed the volume control so you can hear him clearly. Overall I think that using Garage Band worked well and it was easy to use. Itcreated good music that went well for our media product.
- 2. Lastly we used Final Cut HD to edit our clips. We used it before so we were familiar with how to use it. We imported the clips we needed and then edited them individually which took quite a bit of time. Once we had all the clips edited on the time line we started to insert fades and other transitions to give the feel of time passing by and to lengthen our video.After that we started to insert text to show the cast members names. Overall we feel as though it was easy to use after using it time and time again to get the hang of how it works, the only problem we really had was how to export it into a HD clip but after searching and experimenting on the export settings we found out how. From using these technologies and equipment we found out that using a tripod was really important as it helps get a steady clear shot which is important to make it look professional. Furthermore that editing is important too in having a professional media product.
