What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Since
constructing this product, I have learnt quite a few things concerning the
technology. At first, I found it quite hard when using Final Cut Pro to edit
the full scene but once I had grasped the technique of using it, my next
challenge was adding other things such as sound on top of the scene other parts
especially the opening which shows the name of our made up production company
as we used a clip we found somewhere else. In the editing area, the cutting
tool was very useful and easy to use once we knew how to use it.
For most of the new skills I had
to research how to do it beforehand or get help from someone who was
experienced, watching them and or being instructed by them to learn how to do
it.
For the introduction of our
production we decided to get something simple for production company clip.
Adding this took quite a while as the clip we chose had to be converted to into
an mp4 file before being uploaded into Final Cut. Compared to the production
clip application, the editing of the actual scene was quite easy as the clips
were very easy to upload straight onto Final Cut. At first, we started off by
increasing and decreasing the diegetic sound in order to see what we could do via
the conventions of horror movie when it comes to music. In the end, we decided
to cut the music and just use sound effects as this creates a more eerie atmosphere
and again adds to the sense of realism.
When we
recorded our clips for the scene, there was quite a variation in lighting as we
did it in different areas of the house and on different days which meant the
natural lighting was different. At first, we thought this would be quite a
problem as it may not look as professional as we wanted it to. However, we
learnt how to change the brightness and contrast of each clip. In some of the
clips, the lighting wasn’t very clear, however the dim lighting added to the
horror genre because of the dullness of the clip.
