Question Six

I have learnt by using the camera not to shoot facing the sun as the is a glare on the picture when looking back at the footage also I have learnt that when using the camera without a tripod you need a steady hand as the footage will come out shaky. Are group couldn't use some of the footage as it was too shaky. In are movie there is a lot of editing skills used for example there is flashes to white, when putting them in we needed to cut the clip up and then add them in. Next we needed to make the clips run smoothly which meant chopping it down so there were no continuity errors. After that there were shaky parts of the footage so we added stabilises over the whole clip.

The camerawork in the clip took along time to master, the things that I learnt from it was that I needed to use a tripod throughout the whole filming time this ensured that there would be no jumpy and unusable footage. Another important piece of knowledge that I have learnt is that framing is important in all shots which are taken, both the rule of thirds and the golden mean came in handy throughout the filming process.

The editing was all done on iMovie, we needed to make the thriller opening realistic to the audience witch meant it needed to be fluent with no continuity errors in it. We started to import the footage off the SD card. Next we needed to get the structure of the narrative right in order for the film to make sense. After all of that the editing speed needed to be created to create more tension in the slower build up to the climax of the film. We also took out parts to make it flow well this is because it was dragging on in the less important parts. We used no diegetic sound as we had a sound track that filled the whole opening. The sound track that we used created tension as it creates a suspense atmosphere.

The other technologies that used were Garage band that allows you to record and add in loops for a perfect sound track that matches the music with the video. The other software that I used was Logic Pro X this is what I used to record the other instruments in; I used this as it has a higher quality sound running at a 64Bit rate.  After that I imported in to garage band ready to put into the IMovie file. In the screen shot is shows what program I was using to make and record the sound track. The second one shows where I finished the program was called Logic Pro X. The first one shows Garage band this program let me be able to add sound in which I can record and loops, which are pre-recorded on the software. This software also lets me write music for film and lets me add the clips I want.
