2. Music
In order to be able to play Demolisher’s song
whilst filming we downloaded it via the ‘My
Music’ app available on the app store. After the
phone we originally played the song from ran
out of battery we used another phone and
downloaded the song using that app in a matter
of seconds.
3. Photos
Whilst our director and camera operator were
filming the other two members of the group
took out their phones and took photos of the
set, artist and surrounding locations. These
photos we later used on our ancillary task
products.
4. Here are some of the photos we took
on our smartphones.
5. How we used our phones to edit
photos
Whilst many people heavily rely on computer
software’s such as Photoshop to edit their
photos professionally, we found apps that could
produce similar effects on the iPhone such as
“Picstitch”, “Pixlr express” and “word on pics”.
7. Video
We decided that with some shots we did not want
crisp clear footage as produced with a HD camera, as
we wanted it to have a rough appearance, for
example the shot of the smoking. For this shot we
used our iPhone and during feedback no-one had
noticed this change in picture quality.
8. Planning
Because our storyboard was done in pencil we found
that scanning the papers produced barely visible
images so we used our phones to take photos of the
storyboards and used a computer to collate the
images we took.
9. Planning
We also used our mobiles to do simple things
such as plan our journey and check whether
forecasts. This meant that our filming day went
as smooth as possible with no time wasted
figuring out what trains to take or what clothes
to wear as we already knew in advance.
10. Communication
We even used our phones to easily communicate
with our artist and of course each other, by having a
‘Whatsapp’ group were all contacts are in one place
we didn’t have to copy and paste the same message
as everyone in the group could see what one
another was saying.
