Question 6. Equipment Used

This my digital camera i used during the film making process. I used this camera to refer back to certain angles i used in the actual film. This was helpful as i could reflect back to why i used that particular angle and say why is was effective.

From this i have learnt that keeping a record of both normal and unusual angles is very useful because you could think about what would and wouldn't work well with the action that's happening in that shot.

Question 6. Equipment Used

 I know doesn't really count as media technology, but i used my phone a lot during the film making process. This is because i need to make sure that all members of my group and both actors were able to make it to my house to film. It was also very useful to keep everyone informed about ideas and changes i had made to the film.

From this i learnt that communication between group members and other people involved in the media is very important, because if one person said they couldn't make it and gave enough notice, other members of the group could think of things to do without them.

This happened once, both Becky and Rob were unable to make an arranged date to re-film important shots, so i had to do them on my own, i did everything i could on my own. And the end result was very pleasing. 

Question 6. Equipment Used

These are the computers i used to update and upload picture for my blog from home. Both very easy to use, however i did realise that updating my blog was very important as if i feel behind i would not be able to recall what i had in previous media lessons or free media time. Therefore i learnt from processing my media product that to stay on top of all the key areas which should be blogged about is key to not getting behind or stressed about previous work.

Question 6. Equipment Used

This is the computer Becky and I used to make our ident for our film. The programme we used on this computer was photoshop, which was very useful and added a great effect to our ident. 

The only problem i came across with these computers was that during any class time they were always taken up, so there would be some lessons when i was unable to do any photoshopping or blogging during lesson time, this wasted a lot of time as i hadn't thought of other things i could of been doing.

Question 6. Equipment Used

The tripod, which i learnt to be the most important part of the camera use, this is because a lot of the shots in the preliminary were hand held, which made the shot shaky and unprofessional. Therefore i made it clear that all shots other than point of view shots are to be done on the tripod.

However, one shot that i did use on the tripod was still shaky, this was due to the strong wind and the camera not fitting properly onto the tripod. Luckily it isn't that noticeable, but if i was to do it again, I was use the tripod, as i did but also hold the camera to make sure that its defiantly not going to shake. 

Question 6. Equipment Used

This is the camera we used while filming our film opening. I found this camera really easy to use, as there aren't many controls which need much instruction on how to use. 

However, i have learnt while making my film that its best to film in lighter ares, even if you want a dark scene as the camera will naturally make everything looks darker. I learnt this when i did the first set of filming and all of the shots were far too dark to be able to see any of the action taking place. I also learnt this when some of the shots i did the third time, it was a brighter day than the other days i had film, i worked round this by editing the contrast in the editing process.

Another thing i learnt from the camera is that its better to have more shots than you need rather than having only the shots you "think" you want, as these might not work out due to lighting or weather.
