2. From the beginning of our filming process we
hadn’t been able to get our hands on much
technology, or use any of the many
different varieties of software. But when we
had been told about our opening title
sequence we were asked to create, we were
able to use the more advanced camera, and
all the different software.

3. This is similar to the camera
we had used in our filming.
This camera was amazing to
use with its HD recording,
easy-to-use and very
lightweight structure. The best
thing I found about using this
camera was the fact you could
use the focus settings, which
fit very well with our opening
title sequence. Another great
thing was that it was very
simple to use so we didn’t
struggle with it.

4. We had previously used
a tripod in our filming
we had done for the
preliminary task, so we
knew how to work
around a tripod. One of
the best things about
using these was how
steady the shots were
when we had used it to
film the opening title
sequence.

5. We had used a gorilla
pod which was something
new for us to use. We
had used this to film one
of our scenes in the
opening title sequence,
this was when we had
stuck the gorilla pod to
the railing on the ceiling
and it gave a birds-eye
view of what the
character was doing in
our film, just like a CCTV
camera.

6. We hadn’t came across
these soft box lighting
equipment before our
work for our opening
title sequence. These
were very handy as
when we were inside and
we needed to have scenes
with a lot of light, we
were able to use these as
provided by the college.
These helped us create
many great shots for our
opening title sequence.

7. When we had finished filming we
were introduced once again to the
amazing software that we use to
edit the films we make. Final Cut
Pro X was great to use to edit
many of our different shots. We
used it to add many special effects,
to be able to add a great continuity
to our film and also change lighting.
This software was easy to use once
you had gotten used to it. The
great thing about it is that it
showed you a timeline of all the
scenes in which you could change
anything from sound to light
balances. This worked great for our
group.

8. Once we had finished all the editing using
Final Cut Pro X, we had decided to
create some sound to fit in well with one
of our scenes. To create this sound we
had decided to use Garage band which is
an application on the iMac’s. It allows
you to create sound with a use of many
different instruments, You can use pre-
existing templates to help you start off
or you could even start a new project
which is what our group had done. After
sampling with the different sounds we
were creating, in the end we had
created a very professional sound which
fit very well for the scene.
