Technology Used:

Filming• Canon DSLR 650 EOS• Flashing Light• Flipcams during our research period.• Omit Tripod • Camera Lens'

Editing• iMovie• Apple Macbooks• Final Cut Pro

Pros and Cons

Pros• we learned how to use iMovie which helped during our focus

groups and mainly through out our whole research process.• We learned how to get certain shots by changing camera

angles and moving the tripod around.• We learned how to used different tools and professional

techniques which helped during editing within Final Cut Pro.

Cons• it was hard to get a smooth pan whilst using the tripod due

to the unstable movement whilst turning the handle.• it was difficult exporting the footage due to the computer

not fully co-operating and being rather slow.

whilst filming we learned how to focus on specific objects and blur people from a background but learning this was not easy as we would have to focus the camera before shooting a scene which was time consuming but from the experience of repeatedly doing it we finally got used to adjusting the lens which allowed our productivity to be much faster towards the end.

whilst working with the Canon DSLR 650 EOS camera we managed to control the focus and we managed to create different shots but due to the tripod it was hard to create specific movements such as simple panning left and right due to the not so smooth movement. This led us to use hand held shots which worked out better.

Programs

• we used final cut pro to edit the raw footage which allowed us to manipulate the raw footage and create a more professional looking opening.

• Using Adobe Fireworks to create the logos allowed us to get a professional finish to the logos which made them look the part within or opening.

• iMovie was used during our research which allowed us to edit small videos from our focus group

Camera

• Using the Canon DSLR 650 EOS to film scenes in different set ups which gave us high quality shots and great camera angles.

• using the flip cameras would have been inappropriate to use for our final footage due to lack of quality as it lacked the clarity and wouldn't have given a professional finish to our opening
