The technology I have used to make our film opening is the camera, tripod, iMovie, Garage Band, Picnik and Paint. Although using the same camera to perform our preliminary exercise I had never used a proper video camera before this time. When it came to producing our title sequence my partner and I had decided that she would act in our film and I would perform the task off screen, i.e. cameraman. This was great as I had to get to know how to use the camera or else our filming would be terrible. However this really wasn’t too tricking but I did extremely enjoy the experience of being in control and using the video camera. So from this I have learnt pretty much everything from focussing the camera to pressing the correct button to start and finish recording. However as I do quite a lot of photography in my spare time I was used to the tripod, but I did have to make sure my movement were smooth and steady as these were being captured on film.
We used iMovie in lots of the previous tasks, including the preliminary and storyboard, so we were used to the concept of how to edit but this time we were doing it on a much larger scale than before. As we did all our filming at once there was quite a lot of recording that we didn’t actually need due to actor or director errors. This made sieving through to find the correct pieces we wanted to use but this was not a problem, just a little time consuming. We had not used Garage Band before I actually create music to fit a piece of film. This was incredibly hard I found to compose a piece music to fit long scene without having loads of changes in the piece. This is why there are 3 sections of music that are repeated. I believe this does work well, sort of like a master shot, where the audience is able to become familiar with the sound so when it is repeated they are not too distracted and therefore it just enhances the scene. I used Paint to create our logo and then overlaid the blood marks using Picnik (photo editor).
