question six
Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
While creating our opening title sequence we learnt about multiple media technologies, examples of the technologies that we would of used are the websites we used to research other slasher horror films, we used a trip-pod and camera to film the sequence. Our group also used Final Cut and a Mac in order to edit the opening title sequence later on. Most of the technologies we had used to create our OTS - were new to our group. The filming and editing of the preliminary task was very helpful for our group as it gives us knowledge and experience and allowed us to a better understanding of the skills needed to create a successful opening title sequence.
The technologies we used to create our opening title sequence are:

Camera
Our group had previously used the camera to film our preliminary task - due to this we knew how to work the camera and the limitations this piece of equipment. The previous experience we had using the camera was extremely helpful for our group. Before we started media we had no knowledge of how to work the camera, but we are now able to use this piece of equipment and film with ease. We uploaded the clips we filmed by filming onto a memory card and then exporting the clips onto final cut. |
Tripod
When we first filmed we did not use a tripod. We knew this was a mistake when we watched the clips back because they didn't look as professional as the standards we hope for. We then used a tripod to make it so the clips weren't shaky and unprofessional to make our opening title sequence a higher quality. |
Youtube
We used youtube in the creation of our product. Firstly it allowed us to view previous products which allowed us to gain knowledge and positives which we could add to our own. Youtube also allowed us to upload our own videos so that we could include them on our website and it allowed other people to view them so we could get feedback on how we could possibly improve it. |
Final Cut Pro
The editing software we used was Final Cut Pro. It was easy to use and it had good performance and storage. The software was easy to navigate through which allowed us to track down the correct clips needed for the timeline. Final Cut Pro was easy to get used to which helped our group in creating our final product. |
Google Chrome
Google Chrome was the search engine of choice for our group as it was very easy to use. The layout is clear and it is easy to navigate through so that we could find the information we need. Google Chrome allows us to search for images which we include on most pages on our website
