Use of Media Technologies

During the filming of my production I used a variety of different moving image cameras and how the different qualities could be used to further my product. With the use of a tripod I was able to shoot without the risk of my hand jolting and with the tripod I could move the camera slowly if necessary to shoot a panning or tracking shot however this was not needed.
Construction-
-Whilst editing the media piece I used several different applications for example Imovie 9 (Film editing software) I used Imovie in the bringing together of my film and to add in additional audio files in the background of my film and conversation.
I also used Adobe after effects to be used as the program to make my blue screen run effectively and to be able to key out more than one shade of blue. It also allowed me to produce an animated banner to run along the bottom of my film to act as anchorage to the point of the film by adding text to the story.
-The program I used to make my audio is garageband because it is known for the good samples used to make soundtracks and they are easily merged together to produce a good effect intended for a film.
-To burn my production onto a dvd I used Idvd because it allowed me to make an animated title menu which looked good and it was on the mac which was more convenient for me because my production was finished at school and so I was able to burn it at that time
-Research
-During my research I used the most predominant form of research in this area different types of film which would be relevant to my production
Speed-a high speed thriller starring Keanu reeves trying to save the day
The kingdom-Action thriller, terrorism in the middle east as a group of brave soldiers try to defuse a terrorist plot
These were but a few pieces of film that inspired me for my production
-I also used the internet to find out what can make a good thriller film and how to make my piece as successful as possible and to further add to my inspirations for my film
-Planning
-during my planning the only form of media technology used was a program called comic life available on apple macs it allows a table to be drawn out in the style of a comic or any other type of table which is well suited to making a storyboard because it allows for the easy transfer of images and this can be used to make a storyboard which can be easily understood.
-Evaluation
-During my evaluation I had to view my production and to do this I used Idvd and VLC media player
-I used Idvd because it was available on the apple macs and i was able to play the production in slow motion to even further check whether my work was improperly edited and so on and so forth
-I used VLC media player also because I had it available on my home computer and was able to play the file format of my production which happened to be a .mp4 file which was better used in VLC media player than itunes due to its specificity of using video formats.
