Imacs

using apple macs play a major part in getting all our work done one time to a high standard. Luckily i was already familiar with using macs as they have some differences to normal computers that can be seen as difficult to understand and use first time round. We used to macs for editing, research, blog posts, finding sounds. We used softwares on the macs like prezi and Emaze to create appealing slideshows and powerpoint. Another aspect that i used the macs for was research and planning, all my initial ideas was researched and then throughly planned. I used safari (google search engine) on the macs to do this.

Video Cameras

Using the videos cameras was one of the easier technologies we used its straight forward to use and simple to understand, we did have some trouble with the SD cards as we would always accidentally insert the picture SD card instead of the videos ones, this would be a big problem to get around whilst filming before we located the source of the problem and corrected it, this lead to us wasting filming time and have to film more during our free time and rush through the filming time we was given in lesson to keep up to date with all our filming, editing and blog posts. without the videos cameras we would have no film as we would have no way of filming our shots. We never faced any problems with storage as the memory cards had a large capacity, this made it east for us to upload all the footage as all we had to do was insert the memory card, drag it and save it on our group hard drive then we had full access to opening our footage and beginning to edit our footage if premiere pro and after affects














After Affects and PremierePro
Premiere pro and after affects were very important when it came to editing, they are both equally important when it comes to editing our clips, it creates our ideas that we have filmed into a presentable film. I am better with using Premiere pro as I used it more than after affects which made me more confident with using it and exploring it, I tried out new things as i got more used to using it some I liked and incorporated in my work and some i didn't like and chose not to incorporate however both are still equally as handy to know how to do. it is quick and simple to use. The only somewhat time consuming aspect is having to render all the clips individually. Without the use of premiere pro we wouldn't have been able to edit on a green tint, the green tint in our sequence ties the whole film together as it represents our protagonists characters point of view.


Blogger
Blogger was the easiest to use. I think that blogger was one of the most important softwares that  we used, everything we did was stored on blogger as evidence, for example
-planning
-research
-editing
-filming
- schedules
without blogger we would never have been able to be successful with our film.




Bensound
I used bensoud to find Royal free sound that my group could use.
Bensound was easy and straight forward to use but i struggled to find a sound track that all the members in my group were happy with, and one that matched our thriller genre. Overall we wasted a lot of time on ben sound trying to find the most suitable sound for our film.
