Hardware
Video Camera: I used a video camera to film our film opening and
also our preliminary task. This was to use our skills in using
different camera techniques, camera movement and shots. This was
also to make it professional by using a high digital camera. I
gained a variety of skills by learning a variety of shots to take,
zooming and tilting. I learned how to shoot them and learned a huge
amount of camera movements too. These could be used for future
projects and different situations.
Tripod: I used a tripod when filming our opening and also small
class projects. This was because our footage included and needed a
steady camera shot at one straight level. A tripod gives you a
professional outcome instead of using your hands to make a steady
shot. Also with the Tripod you are able to shots like panning,
track and tilt shots, which are difficult to achieve with just
hands. I learned that the tripod is a essential piece of tool
needed when making films and provides a professional finish. I also
learned how to adjust and manage the tripod to your
satisfaction.
iMac: We used the iMacs when editing our film opening and
completing our tasks. The Macs are a professional equipment which
allows you to use a variety of softwares and tools to make
literally anything. I have gained skills of using and controlling
the Mac computer to a standard level and now have confidence in
using one, as they are not like normal computers.
Software
Final Cut Pro: I never knew how to use Final cut pro but I had
to learn to create a good understanding of my media skills. We used
final cut pro as our final editing software to make our film as it
allows you to use professional tools, effects and it really easy to
use once getting the hang of. I learned how to use it with
confidence and how to edit any video to a professional
standard.
Photoshop: I used Adobe Photoshop to make my mood board for my
genre. I also used this software to make some posters and effective
pictures for small tasks. i also used Photoshop for my Production
company logo and as of more I used this software I got better and
gained more confidence. I was really pleased with my production
company logo. Photoshop allows professionalism and clear, high
quality photos. I am able to use Photoshop without any
difficulty.
iMovie: I started off using iMovie for my film opening because
it was a useful software and had some really good tools and
effects. I gained a lot of skills using this software as it is a
useful and essential iMac software but I then later decided to use
Final Cut Pro as my final editing software. I learned how to use
the editing tools and how to merge different clips together with
confidence.
Online Tools
YouTube: YouTube has been the most used online tool for me as
Ive been using it to check out how to precisely do camera shots,
movements etc. I also use it to find some music to match my genre
for my opening. I also used YouTube to upload my preliminary task,
my audience expectations and my final film opening. I learned how
to successfully upload my videos onto YouTube and how to embed them
onto my blogger. I have also learned how to add annotations onto
the videos and notes.
Slideshare: I used Slideshare when I created PowerPoint work
which I then needed to upload and add to my blog. It was difficult
to add PowerPoint presentations until I understood how to use
Slideshare. Its quick, accurate and looks professional on my blog.
I learned how to use HTML codes from Slideshare to add to my blog,
which is very useful for future tasks.
Blogger: I used Blogger to upload all my coursework tasks and
make it easy to keep track of my work for my teacher. Blogger
allowed me to make my work more presentable and professional by
using themes, colours, background wallpaper, fonts and layouts. Ive
never made or used a blog before but now I learned how to
effectively use one and make many changes and add posts. I have a
lot of confidence with it now.
