These are some of the technologies we used during the making of the teaser trailer and the ancillary tasks.
- Nikon L110
- Apple Mac
- Canon EOS 1000D
- Toshiba Video Camera
These were vital ingredients in the production, we used these in order to get the best footage, editing equipment and images we could. We could have used a better video recorder but we could only use this with the supervision of a teacher, Carlaina and I wanted a better scene to film in so we decided to take this video camera instead.
The two digital cameras seen here were used to take pictures for our ancillary tasks in order to get the best quality images we could. We thought this was essential to make the work look the most professional we could.
The Apple Mac computer was mainly used for the construction of all 3 tasks, the different programmes I used were; Adobe Photoshop cs3, Final Cut Express and Garage Band.
WAYS WE USED TECHNOLOGY TO CHANGE THE WAY OUR WORK LOOKED.
These are some images I have created in order to show you how we used technology to create our final piece - click on them to make them larger.
This is another example of a close up in our teaser trailer, although it is similar to the print screen above I thought I would talk about it in more detail. Our use of close ups is unusual because the purpose of a close up is to show emotion, but as ours are wearing masks you can't tell how the character is feeling - making it seem abnormal for the audience.
If you click on this link you will see our moving story board that I made on Windows Movie Maker, it made our original idea 'come to life' because it was better when we got to see everything come a little bit more to life. ANIMATIC. Although our work changed from this I think that it is still successful and that we didn't actually need the town scene.
Another use of technology during my research was watching different trailers on 'YouTube' and analysing them. If you click on this link here you will be able to see the videos I looked at, I think these inspired me in the long run.
The Apple Mac computer was mainly used for the construction of all 3 tasks, the different programmes I used were; Adobe Photoshop cs3, Final Cut Express and Garage Band.
The two top images are ones from earlier in my blog of my actual work and the different programmes, whereas the latter is an image I found from the internet as I couldn't find a print screen I had taken myself.
Adobe Photoshop cs3 (image 1) - I found this programme hard to use, this is because I hadn't used it before. I realised that using 'YouTube' video's helped out tremendously. Such as the ones seen here - magazine blog post.With these I learnt how to use the different tools on the programme in order to produce the magazine I did.
Final Cut Express (image 2) - At first Carlaina and I really struggled with Final Cut Express but we wanted to use the best software we could and to make sure we could edit our footage in ways we wouldn't be able to with software such as Windows Movie Maker or iMovie - as we used iMovie last year I thought we should be upgrading and becoming more sophisticated with our editing. But eventually we managed to work out the programme for ourselves and use; effects, how to quicken up footage, delete the sound and make shots tiny.
Garage Band (image 3) - This was the first time I had used Garage Band so at first I messed around with the different settings and made some songs, but eventually Carlaina and I started to make our own clips on here using many different techniques. Firstly for the 'booming' noise you hear at the beginning of the trailer - we achieved this by cutting down a longer clip to the bit we wanted. Next we made the whispering noise you can hear towards the end of the clip - Carlaina and I recorded ourselves whispering into the mac and layered them one over the other to give it more depth. This leads me to the screaming sound that comes in at the end - we recorded this clip off 'YouTube' into Garage Band and clipped it down to the length that we needed. So in the end this turned out to be very successful and useful when coming to make the sounds in our piece. This is a little more about the music in our piece music post.
