3. This is the computer I did the final editing on Windows Movie Maker on. As this is a simple computer and I'm used to using it at home for various other reasons, it was simple to use and made the whole editing task faster and simpler.
4. I used GarageBand to make the music of the film. Once I had found out how to use it properly, the actual creation of the tracks and burning them onto a disc to move them to a different computer was easy. (Post on using GarageBand written on the 18/10/10)
5. We had to use a tripod for all of the shots to keep the shot steady, especially with the lack of people willing to act in our film, and me and my partner ended up having to act the two main characters ourselves. Therefore neither of us were able to be behind the camera to keep it steady to film the shots with the two protagonists in.

7. As my posts written on making the actual film already says, we begun the editing on iMovie. (Post already written on getting used to using it on 12/10/10). Once I had used iMovie for the first time and been shown how to use the different effects possible, I found it quite simple to use, other than remembering how to achieve these different affects. The main problem I found when beginning to create my film on the iMovie software was not finding the right kind of effect for the bathroom scene.
16. As is shown on this clip and the one below, when writing over clips when using Windows Movie Maker, it's only possible to have it in the middle or to one corner in quite large writing. This means that I didn't manage to put credits in my opening sequence as they took up the whole screen and looked unprofessional. This is an extremely atypical aspect in film openings.
17. The costume in this shot seems typical in comparison to conventions of other real media products. Although not quite visible in the shots - as it was difficult to get both the actor's full head and shoulders in the whole shot whilst our camera still managed to pick up the sound of his voice - the actor is wearing a real policeman's jumper. This is implied in the shop however by the shoulder pads, also the shirt collar seen beneath adds to his image of professionalism and authority.

19. In most films, this logo screen is often animated. However, I couldn't find an appropriate programme to give mine effect.
20. This shot is juxtaposed to the last from the match-on-action sequence at the beginning of our film opening. The last shot is an establishing shot of a happy "safe" town, where-as this shot almost shows the "reality" of the town, (that it isn't safe as the girls will be murdered here) as this alley seems shadowed compared to the previous shot. I think this use of lighting and mise-en-scene is typical to perhaps add interest to the girls walking. We also tried to show the girls innocence here, by showing us skipping, as is shown in the shot. This could also be juxtaposed to the mise-en-scene of the shot.
