1. Q6. TECHNOLOGIES
During the Film making course, there have been
numerous amounts of technologies which we have used
to help produce a smashing final product.

2. These technologies range from software such as; Final
Cut Pro, Garageband, Camtasia, Blogger, Vimeo, Prezi,
Slideshare, Safari and even Flickr.

3. We also used Technologies such as a JVC digital video
recorder, memory cards, still camera flip camera, video
drive, Apple Macs and lighting.

4. To help us with constructing the Film opening, we used
the technologies specified in the previous slide in
combination with each other.
 Final Cut Pro was one of the main sources of technology we used.
This piece of software allowed us to place the shots we had taken
for the film and put them on a set timeline, hence giving us a strong
base for editing. After setting the shots down in Final cut Pro, we set
out to order them and also shorten them where necessary. Once we
finished setting the shots down and ordering them, we set about
adding special effects such as cross dissolves, slowing down speed
and even adding a nice negative blue effect to help create a sinister
effect.

5.  Another main source of technology that we used in the production
stage was the JVC digital video recorders. We used this technology to
film, so obviously it is an important asset to the production of our
Psychological Thriller film opening. Not only did we use the JVC digital
recorder to film our film opening, but we also used it to film our Prelim.

6.  One other Technology that we used was the software ‘Garageband’.
Seeing as we needed to produce a soundtrack, and we had no previous
producing skills, we questioned YouTube until we found
our answer What it came up with was Garageband, a piece of software
that luckily, City and Islington Sixth form provides. We watched the
tutorial and hence found out how to use it.

7. Conclusion
 In conclusion, we believe that the overall usefulness, creativity and
effectiveness of the technologies that we used were to a high standard. Our
shots were quite good, we used many over the shoulder shots, we followed
the 180 degree rule when filming with the JVC digital video recorder and our
editing using software such as Garageband and Final cut Pro was superb if
we may say so ourselves. There were however some shots in the final product
that we could have re-filmed if we had more time. Also if we had more
time, there were some bits of editing that we do add to the final product like
additional shots to make our film opening longer and also we would have
spent more time using Garageband to produce a better soundtrack.
