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

Over the process of planning and making our production we used a range of different software and hardware to plan and create our production. I learned how to use new and different techniques to make my production mysterious and to make it fit into the mystery genre.


While planning I used things like YouTube, Blogger and art of the title. YouTube and Art of the title was used to find similar  film openings to my film and genre so I could see the techniques used.


During the production we used a SJ4000 action camera. This was how we managed to get mostly point of view while filming, we had it on a head band around Harry's (the main actor) head. We also used a Fuji Film camera to film the news reporter scene and to get the aerial shot I used a JJRC H8C quadcopter with a 2MP camera. Once the clips had been filmed we used file convertor to change them to MP4 so we could edit, to do so we used  Adobe Premiere cs4 to edit the clips together. To create the map photo seen during the news report, I got a picture from Google Maps and put it into Adobe Fireworks where I added the red circle, before putting it into Premiere where I layered it onto the clip.

I believe the most important software was Adobe Premiere as this was how we manipulated the clips to fit the mystery genre. I think the most important piece of hardware was the SJ4000 action camera, because that was how we were able to film mostly in pint of view of the main character.
