1. What have you learnt
about technologies
from the process of
constructing this
product
2. Adobe Premier Pro
For my editing software for my film I decided to use Premier Pro
as the features and abilities that it offered were far superior to
that of other editing software I had access to. Also it is
considered an industry standard meaning I have access to
software which is used by film production companies. Premier
Pro also allowed me to incorporate transitions and music based
effects so I could produce a high quality film opening. I used
track overlaying so that I could put multiple layers of words over
my scenes and then include a variety of sounds to add scores
and background noises.
3. Filming equipment
For my equipment I used two casio cameras as they would
provide high definition videos and photos. This was suitable to
gain a clear image in all of my shots. I also used two tri-pods to
situate my cameras on them and gain stable shots which could
then also be attached to my running track so I could run with
the camera and still maintain a stable shot. I didn’t use an
lighting as I relied heavily upon natural lighting and this worked
to my benefit as I could maintain a natural process of light
through the day without having to use multiple days to film a
similar scene
4. Social Media & Video Sharing
To promote my video online I used the video sharing website,
YouTube. I used YouTube, as it is a popular video sharing site
where I can show my video to a large audience and also receive
comments from the comment system which means I can
evaluate feedback from my audience and then alter my film
around this feedback. Also I then shared the video on Facebook
where I could then get my Facebook friends to watch the video
and then leave comments on Facebook which would allow me
to gain useful feedback from both Facebook and YouTube.
5. Editing techniques
Throughout my media product I used a variety of editing
techniques to help create a quality product which could be
enjoyed by a large target audience.
One of the first editing techniques I used was an additive dissolve which flashed the
screen and then transitioned between scenes. This felt professional to me and also the
blinding light would also make the audience look uncomfortable as they looked in my
antagonists eyes which connotes the fact that her eyes are rarely shown into and the
first look into them shows no emotion and just a desire to find her target
For my second editing technique I blurred the walking of my antagonist as to show that
she was mysterious and also hard to follow. This was easy to accomplish and I used the
Casio camera I was provided to manual focus the scene out which gave a blurred effect
to the rest of the high detailed film that was given to me beforehand.
For my main chase scene I wanted music to slowly build up from the previous scene and
have the music hit a climax which would show how the tension has been built up. I used
adobe premier pro to do this and I overlaid a high intensity music track over the scene
and then to make sure this was the main point of the scene I started to fade parts of the
natural sound which broke the naturalistic side of the film
