TASK 6 - "WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?"
APPLE MAC
We used the Apple Mac for editing our website, using Final Cut and using Prezi. Using the Apple Mac's has made our opening title sequence better because without using the programs on there we wouldn't of been able to edit our opening title sequence and make it look like a proper opening title sequence to a Horror movie that's going to be released.

CAMERA
This is the camera that we used to film all of our opening title sequence. We had to attatch the camera onto the tripod to make the shots more stable and professional. When you want to put the shots onto Final cut from the camera you need to transfer the shots. To do this we had to plug the camera into the Apple Mac with a USB cable. After all your shots that you have filmed on your camera were on the Apple Mac, you can then see all of the on the scene. Then you just click on the shots that you want to put into final cut. After this the shots will be entered to your project and you will be ready to start your opening title sequence or the task you are doing.

FINAL CUT
For our editing on our opening title sequence we used the program 'Final Cut'. We found it most helpful when we were editing our sequence because we could add different effects to our shots to make them look more professional. We also found final cut useful because we had to make the timing of the music to our opening title sequence fit in with the shots we had. We had to make the shots change on the drop of the music which proved to be difficult at first because we couldn't get the timings right between them both. Once we played around with the editing more it then become easier to get the timing of the shots changing and music drop right. Final cut also come in useful for putting an overlay over our shots and putting titles into our sequence. We also learn't how to make a short video by using the green screen, where you film someone speaking or acting in front of a green screen and then you can find a moving image to fit to use as a background and you can also get sound effects. This was one of the skills we learn't early on in our project and it was really fun to film and edit.

YOUTUBE
We found youtube very useful when we were looking for inspiration for our opening title sequence, looking at different Horror films and getting ideas from them. We also used Youtube to get the music to our opening title sequence along with the music for our distribution and production companies. It wasn't just the music we got off Youtube for our distribution and production companies we also got moving images to go with the music we had picked. However we picked the moving images first for our distribution and production companies, then tried to get a suitable soundtrack to fit the images. With our production company we come up with a name for it pretty quickly "D.O.A productions" and found an image we thought was suitable for the production company. The music we got for the production company fitted perfectly with the moving image. As for the distribution company it took us much more time to find a soundtrack which was suitable for the moving image of the world spinning round.

GOOGLE CHROME
We used 'Google Chrome' to get information and research for some of our tasks. We used Google Chrome when looking at websites like IMDB, Amazon, Love film and youtube. We used this search engine because its a easy to use and it's also very helpful because you can find the information you are looking for on it. We also used it to look at images to look how to do the make up on the zombies and give us ideas of what we wanted our zombies in our opening title sequence to look like.
