Whilst creating this product we have used many different technologies during the process. One of the first technologies we used was 'Celtx'. This software allowed us to create a script to a professional standard, containing all key elements to use to make the script easy to follow and understand.
An additional piece of software that was used was blogger. This has been a main technology as it has allowed us to log all the work we have produced into one place. It also allowed us to see what other members of the group have done.
We also used 'Final Cut Express' to edit together all the footage we filmed and insert effects such as text and fade in and outs during the title sequence. In personal opinion, this software was not the easiest to use, however through practice it became easier to understand.
We also used hardware to produce our media product. One example of this is the 'Panosonic HD Camcorder'. We used this to do all the filming we needed for the film clip and also the preliminary exercises that was asked to do. In relation to handling, the camera was small therefore easy to port during filming. Its wireless feature also became useful as it allowed us to film outdoors and away from any electrical sockets. The camcorder was also of high quality. However, the camera is very temperamental, therefore causing us to lose a large proportion of work in which we had to re-film in our own time. We also used a tripod to stand the camera on during certain parts of filming to ensure that the footage was still.
A third piece of hardware that we used was the 'Zoom Recorder'. We used this to record a realist sound of the girl getting hit with the hammer. This, like the camera, was very easy to use and
transport.
