EVALUATION: PART 7

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Me and Sophie used a Canon DSLR 500D camera to film our title sequence that we borrowed from school, along with a tripod. We knew the title sequence was meant to be very stylized so we thought it'd be best to use a professional camera, as well as a tripod to stabilize most of the shots, the tripod was mainly used to help when we panned across the room and also some of the more wider shots of the location where we were and ones where all the girls are in front of the camera and no one was there to hold the camera. However, some of the shots we took the camera off of the tripod and had handheld it. This decision was made before  because we felt it looks more natural and its draws you in with the action and friendship of the girls as it is all POV shots. Considering our title sequence is very modern, the handheld feel to the title sequence helps with the modernness as it looks as though it is being recorded with a phone, this could appeal to our teenage audience. We did use our phones within production just because the shot with the balaclava's being thrown down on the bed was too dark so we used the torch on our phones to
help lighten up the shot.
Post production we used final cut pro to edit our footage, we decided that mainly Sophie and Julia should do the editing on final cut pro because they had previous experience using it so it would be easier and quicker to get it done. I got taught by them how to use it and it wasn't as hard or complicated as I thought and I learned quite quickly and had a go at using it.
