2. Video camera The camera was the main part of my filming because without it I would of had to use my own camera which is really bad quality and I have also used the camera for the preliminary task. I have noticed that even though my camera on my phone is 720p which is HD and the school camera is 480p, the school camera has better video capabilities than the phone, also it allows me to record for much longer since it has more memory. Whilst being able to use the camera for the preliminary task it allowed me to get more experienced with the 3. Tripod I have used the tripod for my film because I had to make the scene and the shot a steady shot. The main use for a tripod is to keep something steady and not moving whilst being recorded, another use for a tripod is that you can make a pan shot which is a shot that goes from one left to right or vice versa and also you can go down and up. I have learnt that using the tripod keeps the camera steady and when using the tripod that the weight of the camera is very important because it determines how easy it is to move the camera around. 4. USB Cable The main purpose of the USB cable was to transfer the videos from the camera to the iMac because the other ways were to time consuming, for example if I used the memory card transfer cable to transfer to the iMac I would have to get the transfer cable then upload it to the Mac then put the memory back in the camera. If I used the mailing way it would of taken even longer because I would have to email it to myself then upload and download on the Mac. 5. SD Memory card I have used a SD memory card for the camera to keep all the footage safe and because the camera did not have much memory inside which meant that I would not have to worry about not having enough memory.When using the memory card it gave me problems because they would always ask me to format the card when I would film some footage and try to upload to the Mac. The advantage of having the memory cards is that you can transfer from one camera to another. 6. iMac (computer) When using the computer it allowed me to do what I wanted because it was an advanced piece of technology and it also meant that the editing software was up to date on the Mac. I also had past experience with the Mac from using it with the preliminary task and past years doing Photoshop and adobe after effects. The iMac has features such as Photoshop and other Adobe products which are really useful for research. 7. iMovie and Photoshop I used iMovie so that I could edit my videos withgood in instructions from the software whichhelped me to do what I wanted to do. UsingiMovie is easy and effective because it allowsnew users to quickly get the hang of the softwareand make movies easily. I have also gained moreexperience from when I was making thepreliminary task. I have used Photoshop to make my companylogo which I have been told to use because it wasthe best image creating software which wasavailable to me. When using the program ithelped me gain confidence for future designs. 8. Microsoft When using Microsoft I made many tasks on here, for example when I had to do some tasks on Word or PowerPoint, I have good experience with these programs because I have been using these before. I have learnt how to embed my Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to the blogger which I have created. 9. Youtube YouTube had a huge impact in my research and on the other online tools I used because thats where I learnt most of my things wrong and I had to upload all my videos such as the preliminary task, audience expectations and the final film. I have also used this to get insight in other action movies and see how they make their openings so that I can research about it and make my own. YouTube was easy for me to use because I have had an account already and I have uploaded some videos before just for personal use so uploading and knowing how to make it visible for people was fairly easy. 10. Slideshare and Google Slideshare was used for when I completed a taskon PowerPoint so that I could embed thepresentation online. This was a very useful toolbecause it allowed me to make presentation onPowerPoint then export them to the website andupload to the blog without having to convert anyfiles. Using Google was one of my main online toolbecause I had to research all my work throughthere and other sources. Google allowed me tosearch up any problems I was having with anysoftwares or hardwares. Google was also part ofeBlogger which I had to create an account on. 11. eBlogger I used eBlogger to post all of my project on and createa blog out of it hence the name of the online tool. Thiswas really useful because it allowed users to seeeach others work and see what the tasks were whichyou had to log in through Google. We had to post allof our work which included the written work and thevideos which we created such as the preliminary taskand the final video embedded into the blog. I havelearnt a lot of new stuff whilst using the bloggerbecause this was my first time using it, since then Ihave become more comfortable with it. The bloggerallowed me to add images and label my work so thatit would be easier to find for other people. 12. Mindmeister Mindmeister is a website where you can create professional looking mind maps and this allowed me to add images and text stating my point in what I was talking about. This was a new experience for me because I have never seen or used this website before. I used Mindmeister because I wanted to present my work as professionally as possible instead of making it on PowerPoint or word which would look boring. We had to show some features of the film opening, so I have included different types of features for example I have talked about the costumes, characters, props, locations and
