What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

The camera we used to film our opening sequence was a Panasonic SD60. This was the same camera that we used for the preliminary task, however this time we both felt more comfortable with the different functions of the camera and felt that we knew how to use it better.

We also used a tripod for the majority of our shots as it made the camera not shake and capture the action clearer. This was important when filming Megan (Jess) in the gym. We also used it for camera movements within our opening sequence such as when we pan the camera when Megan (Jess) walks from the hall way and up the stairs. 

We used an Apple Mac to edit all of ourlnlk footage for our opening sequence. Using many different software programmes to help us with different elements such as the editing of the clips together and the titles of the opening sequence.

The software we used to cut,trim,delete and move around our footage was called Final Cut Pro.Using this programme was a new experience for us as for our preliminary task we used iMovie.
Having the opportunity of using both of these programmes, we both decided that we felt a lot more confident using Final Cut Pro as we found it was set out clearer and had more functions available for us to incorporate into our opening sequence.

The software we used to make our titles for our opening sequence is called Motion. This was a new programme to us both, so we both had to learn to figure out how the programme works together. After getting used to the different aspects of this software we found that it was very useful and we were able to create our film titles in the way that we wanted, using many different functions available.

We have used Youtube a lot from the very start of our journey of making out opening sequence. We first used it to look at clips from other films to help us get inspiration of the type of film we were wanting to make. We then used it when searching for the right music to use within our opening sequence. Once we had finished creating our opening sequence, we uploaded it onto our youtube account.

The software we used to create our production company logo and title of our film is called Photoshop CS5. We enjoyed using this programme as we found it easy to use due to having previous experience of using it.

Using all these different types of software made us aware of all the different functions we were able to use within our opening sequence, and help us use the software that would help us create the best opening sequence we could make.
