Mac Once you get used to the Mac it is quite easy to use and it is very versatile. We did encounter some issues when we started using it because none of our group had much experience using them. But after a short while we got used to the controls and were able to use it to its full ability. Camera Canon SLR EOS 600D I have had some previous experience using SLR cameras but over the last few months I have really got to grips with using the camera and its features. The camera can shoot stills and video (including audio) with quality and accuracy. Tripod The tripod that we have used is sturdy and reliable, when the telescopic legs are fully extended it stands at a good height for eye level filming. We did encounter a few set up issues when we first used it because the clips on the legs were stiff. But over time they loosened making it easy to set up and take down.

MacOnce you get used to the Mac it is quite easy to use and it is very versatile. We did encounter some issues when we started using it because none of our group had much experience using them. But after a short while we got used to the controls and were able to use it to its full ability.

CameraCanon SLR EOS 600DI have had some previous experience using SLR cameras but over the last few months I have really got to grips with using the camera and its features. The camera can shoot stills and video (including audio) with quality and accuracy.

TripodThe tripod that we have used is sturdy and reliable, when the telescopic legs are fully extended it stands at a good height for eye level filming. We did encounter a few set up issues when we first used it because the clips on the legs were stiff. But over time they loosened making it easy to set up and take down.

Final Cut ExpressWhen we first started using Final Cut Express we found it quite hard to use. But when we started working on our Preliminary Task we managed to use it more quickly and fluidly. Looking back on that task and our Opening Sequence I can see that my skills using FCE have developed significantly through practice and demonstrations from peers and teachers. It is a very good site which allows you to do a wide variety of effects and creations, from simple actions like cropping visual and audio to adding movement to text and titles.

YouTubeI have previous experience using YouTube and I have my own Channel, but during the filming and compilation of our opening sequence I have used it a lot more than I expected. I initially thought that we would put up our Preliminary task, our rough cut and our final piece but we put all of the raw footage up along with the aforementioned. This has allowed me to become used to and more comfortable using the site and its features.

Wix.comIt is a very easy website builder to use because it has tutorials, hints and guides. It is very versatile and contains a lot of useful and essential features. I have easily learned the main controls of the site and it has been easy to find a solution to any problems that we encountered.
