CAMERA AND TRIPOD


We used a camera of this type. We were taught how to properly operate the camera so that we can achieve the shots we needed. We were taught how to zoom in and out, as well as adjusting the composition and focus. We also were shown how to properly  use the tripod to balance the camera so that the shot doesn't appear drunk(slanted), as also how to capture the angles such as low and high that we wanted in the shots.

FINAL CUT PRO


Final Cut Pro was used to edit the footage that our team has captured. We learnt how to organize the footage in so that it shows a continuing narrative, as also how to apply effects to the footage such as color grading to get a thriller look, we used the color dark blue due to it being associated as masculine. After the editing has finished, we added Titles to the scenes by using knowledge we had learnt.

GARAGEBAND


Garageband was used to add the soundtrack, sound effects and Foley to the opening scene. We learnt how to adjust the sound lengths and how to match it up so that it will sync with the footage. We had practiced using Garageband when we did our falling down edit, where we added Foley and music to a silent scene from a film 

BLOGGER

Blogger was used to show our final finished project as well as the tasks we did to get ready for the final finished product, we embedded the video so that it can be seen with all the other posts we had. This blog can also be accessed by all members of our production company at anytime and anywhere.

YOUTUBE

We used Youtube to upload our final finished Opening Thriller, we then embedded it onto our blogs so that it is with the rest of our work. This process is easier because uploading it directly to the blog will take a longer duration of time.

INCOMPETECH


The soundtrack was taken from this website as it makes it easy to minimize and specifically choose the suitable soundtracks that were considered for the opening scene. This is also better then using youtube and converting the music into a downloadable format, as we wont get in trouble.
