TASK 6EQUIPMENT WE USED

TripodWe used a tripod to enable stability,

smooth running shots and stills. During this process I learn't how to set up a tripod, lengthening legs

and how to attach the camcorder.

iMacWe used an iMac because it contains all the state of the art

apps and tools (Final Cut Pro and Garage Band). The iMac also is a quick and usefool tool to connect the data off the

camcorder. So we took the SD card out and connected it to the iMac, achieving a smooth process to reaching all our filmed

clips.

HD 1080p Handheld CamcorderThe Canon Legria handheld camcorder was a great

choice for us, compact, light and produces HD quality films. It has a touch screen allowing us to focus correctly. It has a screw mount at the bottom allowing us to attach

to a tripod.

Equipment

FINAL CUT PROSoftware

This area is where I learnt to use special effects and different fonts for the titles.

For example transitions, adding or taking away colour and enhancements.

Just stating the obvious. This is

the viewing screen which you

can enlarge. I mainly used the

small screen as it was easier to switch from

watching and editing.

This is the timeline; where the most of the editing commence. Making the lengths of footage to the correct

size. Placing effects on top, layering shots and text.

Drop down with various tools- Select,

blade and magnify.

This is where I became aware footage was placed. You can scroll along and

watch back your footage so you can

then choose the correct

clips.

GARAGE BANDThis is where I searched for

various instruments

and also searched for

eery effects/samples to suit the thriller genre.

Instruments compiled here, where you can alter the volume and even mute an

instrument.

This is the timeline.

You alter clips here just like in Final Cut Pro. You can cut,

trim and loop.
