1. We chose to edit our video on iMovie HD as it is quite an
advanced piece of software and it allowed us to edit in our
free time whenever we felt like we had a bit of inspiration.
This prevented us from having the feeling that we had to do it
in set times and allowed the editing process to be more
natural to us. There was plenty to learn from iMovie from how
to get the best quality from clips and how to edit it in the most
suitable way. There was many built in sound effects but we
used our own as they sounded quite industry standard and
typical. As you can see on one of the pictures there is 5 sub
categories to edit from and each have lots of ways to carry
out their role, for example if you click on the ‘Media’ tab you
can choose from a range of sounds to insert in your piece.

2. This is a screen shot of Moodle, which is an online application where our group uploads
all our work and it is how we keep a track of our progress. Moodle is very useful for us
as we can all share the same space as a group without anyone else intervening with
our work. We all have the ability to change and modify it as a group so we all have
equal input. It is easy to access and during the course of this production project there
were lots to learn about Moodle as we have had to use it to its full potential. For
example we have a simple section in which we insert text, a separate upload page for
power points and pictures and then we have an overview page where we can see what
it all looks like together.

3. This is a screen shot of the music for the production. It was produced on
Cubase, which is a professional music editing program. Aaron created the
music by playing in melodies through a midi keyboard and using several plug-
ins to alter the sound and instrument to make it appropriate for the genre.
Chords and notes where very selective as they had to set the emotion
properly.

4. This is a picture of Imogen setting
up a tripod. We all learnt to do this
as a group as using a tripod was
necessary for getting those still
shots so was a simple skill we all
needed to learn. Setting up the
tripod is a basic filming skill, which
usually takes place in the
preparation part prior to filming as
you want to have it all setup to the
filmers comfort.
This is a picture of Eoin attaching the
camera to the tripod before going on
to use the camera. Attaching the
camera to the tripod is a simple
technique but the camera can be
used in many ways. We all learnt to
attach it to the tripod and we all had
our own ways to use it without and as
a team we shared our ideas and
techniques.
This is a picture of Aaron editing the
video. We all had input when editing
and our ideas flowed together. With
the three of us we were able to come
up with fitting sound effects, perfect
fonts and smooth transitions. We all
learnt to put the video together and
shared our skills and techniques.
Even though we all shared out skills
most of the tasks were shared equally
and one of us dominated that
particular task, whether it be editing,
filming or directing.
