EVALUATION 6

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

We have learnt many new technologies and new things within the course of making our film opening. For one thing we have been using cameras to shoot our footage then record it on a tape and upload it onto the mac. In order to edit we have been using iMovie where we have had some experience but not a lot. We have discovered how to cut bits of the clips out and detach audio in order to create good effects which really improve our thriller film opening.

We have also used GarageBand in order to create our music for the film, transferring the music file onto the film and then editing it to fit the pictures was made simple with Garageband. With this we can alter the volume and sound of the music for effect.

We have also discovered how to edit the footage already shot by increasing contrast, brightness, saturation and colour tones. We have used these effects to create the scene showing the mental patient and asylum by reducing the saturation therefore creating a sense of cold depression in the surroundings of the area to really give the impression of a mental asylum. We also used this with the shot of the eye by making it more red it creates a sense of danger and panic. It really shows the audience that this person really is potentially dangerous and mentally ill.
