Question 6

• While filming we used a range of equipment; such as a camera, tripod, SD cards and the Apple macs. Having a tripod was very useful because it helped you to get the best camera angles while giving you the choice of different camera shots, as well as keeping the camera steady; this helps when we filmed a pan shot and a long distance shot. We used these shots when Jordan was walking in the field. I believe that these shots were successful because it clearly showed Jordan's actions as well as her surroundings. The most important piece of equipment we used was the camera; using the camera helped us film the two minute project along with all the shot that were needed. Lastly we used the apple macs; the macs were useful when it came to editing our shots to make our film have good continuity; they also helped when our film needed editing and music put onto it. I think by using the macs we successfully achieved our aim of a scary atmosphere as we added scary music to our film as well as an effect to make the journey of Jordan walking look creepy.

Equipment

• The main websites I used were IMovie, Edublogs and Slideshare. I used IMovie once I had finished filming; we put all of our shots onto the macs and the computer programme IMovie; we used this computer programme as it allowed our group to edit our shots and move them into the right order. IMovie helped make the continuity flow easily so it didn’t look jumpy. On IMovie we chose to add scary music to add tension and atmosphere to the shots we filmed. Another website we used was edublogs; we used this site to blog about all of the planning and final project. We also used emaze; this is a site that represents a slideshow/ PowerPoint, this helps you present your ideas and evaluation in different ways.
