Question 6
- 1. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
- 2. We used www.blogger.com to post our work onto a blog that both myself, Elliot, our teachers and our peers could view so that all our work was in one place and presented in a professional way, it proved useful as it meant we could easily look back on past work to use for research when we were developing our opening. On the blog we were able to embed prezi’s which were a useful way of presenting work in a presentation format, we also used slide share in a similar way. How did you use the blog to work collaboratively?
- 3. Another tool we used was web 2.0, we usedYouTube where we posted all the videos we made, this way we could then embed them into the blog and write a post about them with easy access to the video in the same blog post. YouTube was also useful when doing research as we were able to find lots of videos of horror sequences that we were able to use for research into our genre.
- 4. We used Elliot’s DSLR canon camera to film our piece as it produced HD footage, I had never used it before filming to had to learn to use it before shooting but this wasn’t much of an issue. We used a tripod to ensure all the shots were steady and it also allowed us to get some interesting angles and shoot from different viewpoints in our location. How did you film your work?
- 5. I think the most effective use of equipment was the track, it created a really smooth shot which I think makes our whole piece look more professional.We had one lighting issue in the lair location because we were meant to be using a red lamp to create a red glow in the room however when we came to use it, it didn’t work but to get around this we just shot in normal light and then when it came to editing we put a red filter over the shots. Because we didn’t have access to the track on our first shoot, it meant we had to shoot again, however I think this was beneficial as it meant we got a really good tracking shot and it also meant we could redo some of the shots we weren’t 100% happy with, to keep continuity our actress wore the same costumes and had the same hair and makeup in both shoots.
- 6. We used Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0 to edit our opening sequence; we started by selecting all the appropriate footage onto the timeline and started to roughly edit it to get an idea of timing and order of shots. We went through more critically and cut the shots until we were happy with them, we made sure our opening had continuity and that the shots were cut on action, we also used time lapse to make some of the shots faster/slower so they fit with the pace of the sequence. How did you edit your piece? After getting all the shots in order we started to add the titles, starting with the actors followed by the crew and producers and finally the directors. At this stage we also had added the red filter over the scenes shot in the lair.
- 7. Adding in sound effects really helped to add more of an atmosphere to the sequence; however this was also the most challenging part of the edit.We used Freesound for all our sound effects as well as some recorded diegetic sound, when layering them sometimes the sound would cut out or come in at the wrong time so we had to spend a lot of time getting it right as well as selecting the right sounds for the scene so we could make it as dramatic as possible and create lots of tension and suspense. Once sound was complete we went back over everything and refined it by making some extra cuts to improve the cutting rate, we also added some transitions between scenes to better link them together.
