How did you integrate technologies, software, hardware and online- in this project?

Within this project we used a variety of different software, hardware and online website in order to create the content of the film, such as the film’s movie logo, or

the title sequences. There was also a variety of content used to plan and carry out the development of our film opening. There was a large amount of practice and workshops that I was involved in, in order to try to create and understand exactly how each program worked and ways to create different styles of film

devices within our film opening. Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects were both used in order to create our opening. Both of these I attended workshops in order to understand the software. Both of these programs were huge learning curves. And due to the fact I was solely in charge of both the editing and the creation of

the film logo; both needed special attention in order to create a film that was considered of high quality. Therefore other forms of technology were used in order to understand and utilise the software that was given to us in order to

create our film. Photoshop was also used within this film. However, this was less of learning curve due the fact that I am also a photography student, therefore in order to figure out color gradients and what not within the film and what sort of

look we wanted, Frames of each different film scene were taken and photo shopped in order to figure out what sort of look we wanted within our film. We also used a lot of technology online in order to plan. Our blogs enables us to put

all our work on platform to share, therefore using that sort of technology and figuring out how to use the website, was key in order to sharing our work in a

format that was easy to read and was appealing to the eye and easy to find. Therefore the blogging site, Wordpress was key. You tube and Vimeo were also

extremely helpful in all processes of our work. It helped immensely in understand software such Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects. I would watch tutorials in order to understand the way in which content would work. I would also watch older AS Media Studies films in order to draw inspiration and try to understand the standard in which need to be reached to create our film. These

programs also allowed us to upload and share our content, at the different stages and processes of our films creation, through all the reshoots and test footage that was shot. We also used Linkedin and slideshare to share and gather information in documents, this allowed the work to be easily presented and easy to read and

see due to the fact it was embedded into the documents.Overall, integrating large amounts of software and new technology into our

work, to us although we found it challenging and a large learning curve, it overall made the process easier compared to the older style of making film in which film you had to physically cut and tape film together. From this sort of technology to

has made film and making films a much easier process due to the fact that making film is easier now than ever.
