What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?


Throughout the making of G321 (the opening two minutes to a film) we used an iPhone 6 and a tripod to create it. The iPhone 6 films 1080p HD video, therefore we felt this was a great idea to use to film with because it has a high definition camera and would have been better quality to use this than the cameras the group has.




After filming our opening two minutes we then had to edit it. To do this we used Adobe Premiere Elements 10 , this is a software that includes many useful features to edit a film. It helped us to make it look more like a horror film through the use of transition effects and we were then able to add sound on top of it. However this software was very new to us as none of us had used it before so as we edited we learnt more about it. I also learnt how to crop scenes to make them flow but also so that it can change angles of the camera without cutting. This helped us because in a horror film the flow can make it more creepy due to the fact the audience doesn't expect it. The software was great to edit with but when we went to re-watch it to check the alterations were correct it continuously froze so we didn't know if this was due to the editing or the software until a while after.




We then used YouTube to upload our preliminary task, our story board and our film. We have all used YouTube a lot to watch videos but we haven't had our own channel or uploaded films before so this was a new process for us to learn about. This took us time to understand and work out how to do, we also had to change the film we had uploaded which we had to work out how to delete the other one and upload a new one.
