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





A camera (Canon MD255) - The camera we used was very nice and we could easily take the media from the tape to the computer in order to start on the next step which was editing.

• A tripod (Jessops TP327) - The tripod was very useful so that we could do the tilted, low angle and high angle shots. Without the tripod this would have looked not as proffessional.

• A microphone - This was used to keep out any of the backround sounds that we didnt want in the scene. Unfortunatly we had some problems with it when we tryed to film and somtimes the end of the microphone would get in the shot. Other than this the microphone was a very handy tool.

• Adobe Premiere Element 7.0 – Part of the Adobe CS4 package. We used this to edit the clips together, cut out unnecessary footage, add sound/sound effects, and complete our final film. This was a very useful thing to use when editing our film and putting in sound ect. It was very easy to use and made editing simple.

• Windows Movie Maker was used to help create the Pursuer title, to enable it to flash up letter by letter.

• Paint and Microsoft Office Picture Manager was used for editing and pasting pictures together.

• Free Play Music (www.freeplaymusic.com) is where we found the music for Pursuer; we used this as it is non-copyright and worked very well with our final edited film.

• We used YouTube (www.youtube.com) for inspiration and to get an idea of what other films were out there and to help give us an idea of our target audience, our Pathé clip was also found here. We were allowed to use this in out film as it is such a short clip and it does not break the Copyright Protection act.

• Blogger (www.blogger.com) was used as our main area whereby we could upload our research and planning, videos, trailers evaluations and anything else related to our AS Media Studies course
