3. Whilst producing our opening title sequence, we used software such as: iMovie, iPhoto, LiveType and iTunes, internet explorer (Wordpress, Slideshare) and Microsoft Word & PowerPoint. Some of these software's were completely new to me, but I quickly started to find out the many advantages of them. For example, using iMovieenabled my group to quickly edit the different shots in different orders.iPhoto helped us to transfer the pictures of our storyboard from our camera onto iMovie in order to do our animatic. LiveType made it possible for us to make effective titles for our sequence which included special effects. For example, we used a bold font to make the titles distinctive to the eye. We used iTunes to find our music (Kevin MacLeod-the dread) which added to the eerie atmosphere. I used the internet to produce my blog or used other websites (slideshare) as an intermediary in order to get my work onto my blog.

5. We used hardware such as: a digital video camera, a tripod and the Mac computer. The digital video camera helped us to film the shots needed to create the right atmosphere intended. We knew that if our shots were steady , this would keep the audience’s attention so we used the tripod helped us to do this. The Mac was very useful in helping us to produce our opening title sequence because it has many good software's (listed previously) which make the footage high quality. I believe that we would not have got the same results if we had used a different computer.
