This was to use our skills in using different camera techniques, camera movement and shots. This was also to make it professional by using a high digital camera. I gained a variety of skills by learning a variety of shots to take, zooming and tilting. I learned how to shoot them and learned a huge amount of camera movements too. These could be used for future projects and different situations. Tripod:Tripod: I used a tripod when filming our opening and also small class projects. This was because our footage included and needed a steady camera shot at one straight level. A tripod gives you a professional outcome instead of using your hands to make a steady shot. Also with the Tripod you are able to shots like panning, track and tilt shots, which are difficult to achieve with just hands. I learned that the tripod is a essential piece of tool needed when making films and provides a professional finish. I also learned how to adjust and manage the tripod to your satisfaction. iMac:iMac: We used the iMacs when editing our film opening and completing our tasks. The Macs are a professional equipment which allows you to use a variety of software’s and tools to make literally anything. I have gained skills of using and controlling the Mac computer to a standard level and now have confidence in using one, as they are not like normal computers.

I learned how to use it with confidence and how to edit any video to a professional standard. Photoshop:Photoshop: I used Adobe Photoshop to make my mood board for my genre. I also used this software to make some posters and effective pictures for small tasks. i also used Photoshop for my Production company logo and as of more I used this software I got better and gained more confidence. I was really pleased with my production company logo. Photoshop allows professionalism and clear, high quality photos. I am able to use Photoshop without any difficulty. iMovie:iMovie: I started off using iMovie for my film opening because it was a useful software and had some really good tools and effects. I gained a lot of skills using this software as it is a useful and essential iMac software but I then later decided to use Final Cut Pro as my final editing software. I learned how to use the editing tools and how to merge different clips together with confidence.
