Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing

this product?

By Shope Adejare

Sony JVC CameraWe filmed our opening sequence using this basic camera but it was ok because it still managed to achieve all the shots that we needed and the editing is what really matters.

Tripod

Without the tripod we wouldn’t be able to film any of the steady shots that we filmed.

Mac

We began editing our video using the Mac but because the Mac’s at our school are not fast and efficient enough, it became very time consuming to just edit a few clips. This is when we decided to move on to Sony Vegas (next slide)…

Sony VegasThis is the editing software that we used as we didn’t want to use iMovie because we wouldn’t be able to edit at our homes as none of us had a Mac at home however I have a windows 8 laptop which would allow me to use Sony Vegas Pro.

Cable Ties (not technological but was used)

To achieve smooth and steady panning shots when Jack was running, we had to use cable ties to tie the tripod on to a bike and film like that. There is also proof of this shown in my ‘behind the scenes’ post.

Fuji film FinPix S1600 camera (for the location shots)

For our location shots we wanted to achieve good clarity in our location shots. With my Fujifilm camera we were able to do this because it is 14 megapixel and has a 30x super wide lens. Along with many other various settings.
