Question 6: what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?& Question 7: looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in this progression from it to the main task?

Although I was not heavily involved in the editing I do believe I have grown a lot with the use of a camera from my preliminary making sure the shots are in focus ( despite the poor effort on the video below) and setting up and using a tripod. The camera we used is a Nikon DLSR.  Despite this, I did have a play around using tutorials from youtube to help bridge the lack of knowledge.

The editing for both our preliminary and our final thriller production was done in premier pro, and with this being quite advanced technology we came together to create a well thought out and professional look. The staple piece in our film (as you can see from above) is the intense colour correction, making the reds so vibrant in all the scenes. We also had a unique secret weapon being the graphics tablet a member of my group had making it easier to get those tiny details just right. It also helped us create an eerie atmosphere, as in some scene we filmed in daylight but we wanted it to look as though it was night time in order to fit in the storyline.

The final technology we used was after effects, we used this program to create our titles and our company ident. Again this was made using youtube tutorials, to get to grips with the basics and we went from them.
