Our research and planning was carried out on Blogger. The site a technology relating to the media allowed us to publish our work online and also share with others. The website allowed us to easily upload written, photo and video work and edit it according to teacher comments, the use of a blog is also relevant to the media industry which allows us to broaden our knowledge.
We are also able to use many different media formats to display our work; YouTube allowed us to embed videos onto our blogs for examples of other media and we were also able to upload our productions onto YouTube which gave us a wider knowledge of the media industry, and allow us to become part of the digital citizenship.
Another example being Prezi, an alternative website which allows us to upload our work to the blog in a mind map format, this is an easy way to display different types of media contexts which are easily to read, they also show a wide range of diversity. When planning our thrillers in groups the use of prezi's allowed us to invite others to become part of the prezi and collectively work together.
Production:
A Canon HD camera was used to film our production. By using a HD camera we were able to give our clip a glossy finish instead of it being pix-elated, which allowed it to look a lot more professional. The use of this camera instead of the more expensive types gave us a more simplistic design when having to shot, it was easy to find our way around the device giving us a lot more time to shot.
The camera itself was incredibly light weight which us allowed us to film for long periods of time as well as making the shots smooth and clean cut.
With the use of the screen we were able to re watch footage on location to know if we have to re shoot, this saved us a lot of time when it came to editing.
With the use of an SD card we were able to transport and store footage in a light weight, small and convenient manner, giving us the ability to easy save footage and watch it back on the computers.
Post Production:
For editing we used the software Adobe Premiere Pro, this software gave us a lot of control, we were able to edit in a non linear manner which allowed us to edit at any second throughout the product, this became extremely helpful as we were always adding, removing and shrinking shots.
Other benefits of Premiere Pro are; it allowed us to colour correct any chosen shot, this came in very helpful as our shots were a mixture of light and dark due to darkness falling on location, we could also change the grading to make the clips appear authentic. Another benefit being the ability to add sound both diegetic and non diegetic, this allowed us to edit sounds in the backgroup of a certain clip allowing the production to run without distorted noises and add soundtracks to suit the mood of the clip.
A final benefit of Premiere Pro is that it can edit and finally produce the production in HD, this gives it a more professional and glossy finish.
Throughout using this software I developed my skills from my preliminary so that I know comfortable with having to edit shots.
Another software we used was After Effects, this was were we produced the opening graphic of our company name, this allowed us to widen our skills and produce an eye catching graphic.
