Question 6

Throughout this project, we used professional equipment which we had not used before. One of these is the video camera, we had to take time in getting use to how to work it as the settings and buttons can change how it looks when imported onto the screen. When using the tripod we found it easy to get to grips with it, and soon enough had the skills to film in different angles and use techniques like panning.

We used garage band when putting together the foley we recorded, and editing some of them. We had to learn to use this as we had not used it to the professional standard. While using this we had to balance the volumes as they had all been recorded with different sounds and so some were louder than others. When creating the soundtrack I used loops and cut them together. 

The title sequence was made on after effects. We converted the dripping blood video from YouTube which had a green background then using After Effects we used our studio name to replace the green. This took us a long time as we had not done this before, we used tutorials on YouTube although these were not that helpful.

This screenshot shows the software we used to cut and edit our footage together. Before this task we had not used Final Cut, so it was difficult to get to grips with the advanced tools we needed to create effects and transitions. However we are both now confident on using the basic tools on it.

This is an example of us using Final Cut. It is showing how we added some of the filters to the video like the earthquake effect.
