1. Camera
The image on the left
hand side shows the
camera that out group
used to film our two
minute film opening.
The camera that we used
was a canon.
We all found that the camera worked well and did not have
many faults. Some of the filming came out looking a little
blurry but nothing that we couldn't fix in editing. So overall
the camera work was a success.
2. Tripod
Another piece of equipment that we used was a tripod.
The aim of the tripod is to fix the camera in place so that
it is secure, this enables you to get your shots perfectly
still and steady. In most of the shots where we used the
tripod it has worked well. We found that as the tripod
can be quite restricted in height some of the variety of
shots that we wanted to use meant that the restriction
caused a few problems, however in the end it was not
very noticeable.
3. Voice and Audio
Recorder
The picture in this slide
shows the voice and
audio recorder. We
used this when
dialogue was used in
the inside car park
scene, we needed to
do this otherwise
it would be hard for
the audience to
understand what is
being said.
After we had used the voice and audio recorded we could tell
that It had work well as the dialogue used was clear and
understandable
4. Lighting
The image below shows the lighting that we
used in our film. The lighting was very effective
because it helped to get a better view of
certain shots and brighten the film. We used
the lighting in the two apartment scenes that
are involved in the flashbacks. Using the
lighting made a lot of difference to the
outcome of the shots, we know this because
we accidentally filmed a shot without using the
lighting and then reshot with the lighting. You
could see how improved the shot was when
using the lighting against the shot without the
lighting
5. Editing
The image on this slide shows our film being edited.
When editing we used a software called Adore Premiere
Elements. This was a key factor in our film since after
filming we had a lot of editing to do. In our editing we
were able to cut our film down to 2 minutes and also add
our film titles. In addition we were able to include special
effects to the film, these effects included fading, sound
effects and others. The editing in The Betrayal was a huge
success.
6. Garage Band
The last piece of
technology that we used
was Garage Band and in
the image to the left you
can see me working on it.
Garage Band allowed us
to create external music
and sounds that we could
add into our film. Garage
band provides a number
of different sound that
can be put together.
We first used garage band to create a mellow Non- Diagetic
sound. To do this we used two different types of pianos and
a shaker, this song really illustrates the mood in the scenes.
We also used a another Non- Diagetic song from garage band
but this was much more up beat and implied the action in
the film. Garage band help me a lot and was very simple to
use.
