YOUTUBE
We were also able to observe how many views
our videos received showing the popularity of our production. On top of this the comment feature
allowed us to gain feedback from a wider audience of viewers.
We uploaded all our films to our group YouTube channel. This includes our preliminary tasks, storyboard animatic, rough cuts and final production.
BLOGGER
We used blogger collaboratively as a team to upload and share our work. Blogger has several features which make it very useful for amateur film makers like us.
The comment facility allowed us to gain feedback from teachers and our fellow students on our work.
The index at the side allows for easy organisation of our work and quick navigation
across our blog.
The homepage showed us our list of tasks and gave us
exemplar work from previous years.
The comment facility allowed us to gain feedback from teachers and our fellow students on our work.
Through blogger we were able to embed clips and
uploads visuals which gave our blog a multimedia
aspect.
The edit feature allowed us to improve based on the
feedback we were given from our teachers and colleagues.
PreziThrough Prezi were able to
upload and share professional looking presentations to the
world wide web.
For example our pitch was presented through the use of
Prezi. This enabled it to be more dynamic as it has the
ability to embed multimedia i.e. secondary research, audience research and
soundtrack.I also used
Prezi to present my
research into other horror
films from similar genres
The ability to navigate through different frames gives the presentation a more fluid style.
EditingWe edited all our films using Adobe Premiere
Elements 9. This is an off the shelf light version utilising a timeline.
In order to colour grade our footage to connote a darker more sinister mood, to do this we added an effect called image control by dragging and dropping the effect onto the timeline. Then by “editing the effect” we lowered the brightness and darkened the hue. Whilst Hannah worked on the blog Callum and I overlaid some non-diegetic audio onto our production. We listened to several different sound effects before deciding on a droning sound to overlay our chanting because… and inserted them onto our timeline.I inserted the titles into our production and chose when and where to put them based on similar production “Insidious”s ordering and timing. We made a decision to overlay our title onto the video and then resized them based on importance of role.
Equipment USEDCanon 1100d
2 x Tripod
Light Reflector
Torches
FilmingDuring our filming we faced
many technical difficulties.
Our batteries had to be recharged multiple times and
from our first shoot we learned that bringing a spare was
essential.
On top of this we also learnt that bringing multiple memory cards would be beneficial as we used
2.
Our team also fought a battle with nature as the lighting
proved a challenge.
In one of our crucial shots we had an error which ruined the
take. Hannah left the two tripods in the shot.
When we were trying to shoot the mirror shots we also had the issue of trying to get the camera
out of shot.
Filming in December-January meant wintery
