what have you
learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
During research we used Macs and the internet (using Google,
you tube, wikipiedea, Blogger etc) to find our information about our target
audience and genre as well as researching the BBFC and film distributors.
During construction we used the digital recording cameras to
film our products footage, still image cameras to take pictures of what we were
doing, boom mic’s and poles to capture sound on set, as well as a sound
recording studio to record the emergency phone calls. After we had the footage
and recordings we used Premier Pro and sound booth to put all the clips
together to construct the film opening.
I found that Google, you tube, Blogger and wickipiedia easy
to use, maybe because they are user friendly. However I found Premier Pro more
difficult to use because they are very complex programs which don’t function as
simply as the web based programs. Premier pro and sound booth are very
technical programs which are why it took me a while to get use to how it works
and what you can do with the programme. We had a camera tutorial before we
started filming and i found recording shots was fairly easy even though I only
recorded the basic stuff, because I was directing the shot most of the time. I
had not used blogger before so it took me a few days to get use to idea of
posting.
While on set we found that lighting was a big issue at night
as on the video footage we couldn’t see the actors. So we used lots of bright
torches as we had no plug sockets available, these where attached to old beams
with duct tape. We had to re-record some footsteps sounds and find “chambering
a round” sounds on the internet. We picked up from the experience that while on
set it is important to get as many shots as possible and try them in different
ways, so that you can get the sound first time, rather than later having to
re-record it. We also would rethink where we shoot the sniper scene because we
need bigger lights.
