Question 6.

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

A. In our preliminary task we made a lot of mistakes and this time around on our main task we tried to focus on being more deliberate and thorough when both filming and editing. With filming we planned out potential shots and even did practice takes and uploaded to the blog as potential ideas we could experiment with, we decided upon a marginally wider variety of camera shots, angles and movements such as our POV shot from the killers perspective as he approaches the college. We also learned the value of white balancing every single shot no matter the setting, lighting conditions or however long the shot was, we made it absolutely imperative to obtain accurately lit shots thus to avoid as much colour correction as possible even though some was needed and we failed to use white balance in only one of our shots i believe.

In terms of editing we began to experiment a bit more this time round with what we could do on final cut pro and photoshop in which we created the logo (title sequence). We experimented with focus pulling in editing to ensure that certain props were highlighted to give information about the plot, we also used sound editing to our advantage as in our main task we used a number of foley sounds in order to create a visual image of the shooting even though you couldn't see it as an image.
