WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES

FROM THE PROCESS OF

CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?

The diff erence of camerawork between our preliminary task and our final piece is huge. It is clear that as a group we have all gained a lot of experience about the technologies throughout this process.

In using a tripod for the final fi lm compared to using a hand-held camera for the preliminary task proved to be a huge success for us. The tripod made sure that the footage we shot was more accurate and far less shakey. With the hand-held camera the cameraman had to use their arm to try and steady the camera whereas with the tripod instead of focusing on trying to keep the camera straight you could assess what was going on in front of you and make any extra changes about the layout before pressing play if necessary.

Here’s a reminder of my preliminary task and the camera work.

Our editing had improved significantly from the preliminary task we did. To edit the preliminary task we used iMovie whereas to edit our final piece we used Final Cut Pro.

The ability in editing drastically increased due to the fact there were more sound eff ects, lighting eff ects, music and many more other editing eff ects on Final Cut Pro that made our fi lm much more improved than the preliminary task.

Final Cut Pro was especially useful when editing in the sniper eff ect when the sniper is on the bank, aiming down at the victim with the briefcase.

I would say, for next time to improve the technology level even more would be to have a better microphone, where you cant hear hardly any backing noise but just the sound of the people talking.

I would also shoot more footage of the fi lm so that there is more to edit and a wider variety of fi lm to choose on.
