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

We used Adobe premiere pro for our editing out shots, putting them together and putting our sound effects on. We found it interesting using the camera and learning how to use it. We feel that the 2 tasks in preparation for our final project were very useful as they allowed us to get used to using the camera for different effects and how to do different types of shot. Also the continuity task was useful as it allowed us to learn about continuity and how it can look; it helped us to spot continuity errors before they happened as we were always thinking about the 180 degree rule and action matches. The preparation tasks also allowed us to learn how to do shot reverse shot which we used in our final piece, it adds a good effect as we see both characters expressions and reactions to things; it also gives a more professional look to the project. The cameras were interesting to use. We enjoyed using Adobe premiere pro for our editing as we just looked at the effects and decided which ones were best for our films; the preparation tasks allowed us to become familiar with the software and find different effects and how to change the sound around. We have enjoyed using Adobe premiere pro as we found it to be quite easy to use and we found some of the effects were very useful in creating a professional look to our movie. We learnt that a lot of details when filming are important like the frame rate the camera is set to as we filmed in 60 frames per minute whereas Adobe premiere pro is only compatible with movies that are shot in 30 frames per minute, this meant that we had to convert our files into a dv format which was very useful as when they were converted we didn’t need to render them which meant only our sounds and edits had to be rendered this made the editing process quicker which allowed us to get a lot of edits done to make our film more effective at provoking the fears of the audience. The experience of making this film has been useful as it has taught us a lot about the different software that are available when editing and the different things that can be done to achieve a professional film.
