These are pictures of me and alex filming on the 30th of January as you can see me and alex are holding the DV1 camera that we have been using throughout our filming . Me and alex are also using our tripod and we have also shown some of our location that we shot in . It is a muddy path where we filmed the scene in which me and alex run over the puddle. We have used the tripod to shoot various shots such as the long shot and the close up shot in which we have needed the tripod to shoot scenes in which me and Alex are both in for example the fight scenes in which we have to both be in it . We have used a lot of software to make the film for example we have used photoshop to crop our film poster and front magazine cover this is an effective tool as it allows us to use a sillouette of alexs body this is effective as it shows the mystery of the character and keeps teh audienceguessing about him this opens up the barthes enigma code to make the audience ask questions on who this man is and what role he will play.
This is the software we have started using for our editing which obviously brings me onto the point that me and alex have started to edit our film after spending two days filming our final peice. Adobe Premier Elements is a useful resoursce because it allows us to edit and upload our film. We have also used adobe premier elements to use fade and black and white screenshots within our trailer this is effective because it allows the trailer to flow from clip to clip . We also use the tool that allows us to cut pictures which we have used in our trailer . We also used adobe premier elements to trim and cut clips by doing this on adobe it allows us to get finer clips and also allows us to use black and white to differ from the clips.We also used adobe photoshop to crop photos so that we could get alexs body to be alone with the gun by doing this we had to use a pointing tool that withdrew alexs body from the original background which was his back garden so we got rid of that and put a concete background on it .
These are the three pieces of equipment that we used during our project. We used a DV1 shock proof camera and a tripod to film the scenes. In the scene we used the computer to access photoshop in which we transported photos from premier elements onto blogger. We also used adobe premier elements to access our film and to edit and render our film. We used mindjet manager pro 6 to assist us with some of our planning and research and to help with our evaluation activities to show what our audience liked within our film. We have a used other technology such as the i phone to introduce commentary's over the film. We used adobe software such as premiere elements and photoshop to edit and make the core of the film. Photoshop was used for most of our evaluation activities and to produce our title sequences.
We have also used network's such as youtube so that we could put our film onto the Internet. Blogger is a big part of how we were able to do our evaluation tasks. We used it to post the evaluation tasks and relevant comments on blogger. Adobe Premier was an easy software to use initially ,the editing and initial set up of the film was easy to put on to blogger. I personally found it more difficult when I had to put sound onto the film and thankfully I had a reliable and trustworthy group who could help me with that specific part of the software
I will now talk more about the film camera that we used. It is a DV1 waterproof and shockproof camera with built in usb. This allowed us to process the film onto the computer which were then put into premier elements. It was then ready for editing and rendering. The camera we had was a HDMI camera which means that it was easily accessible to upload and render our copies of our film. The camera gives the film the real look and makes everyone feel like the film has an authentic look to it.
Another really interesting tool we have used is using Alex's Ipad to use an app called Action Movie FX and by using this we can film a road or a corner of a street in which we can place two cars and make them crash this is really effective especially for our film because we need to have explosions and high speed chases within our film to show the film in an action and explosive light .These things really darw the audience in and get them excited for the trailer and make them want to watch the film . Another way this is effective is in relating this to the Barthes Enigma Code as it asks the question who is in those cars and what is driving them to such lengths that relates into a crash .
