Software

To create a variation of product we had to us the appropriate software during this coursework.

Blogger

The main one being blogger which is a blog publishing service that allows us to broadcast our work onto the various pages and external sources have the ability to access our work. Blogger is the perfect software as its easy and accessible as its very easy to edit posts effectively, additionally we have the ability to preview our work to see if changes are necessary before we initially publish our work. Blogger is great tool as we are able to manipulate it in the way we want people to view it .

Microsoft Word

Another tool we were able to take advantage of is Microsoft Office word this is a word processor designed by Microsoft. It allows us to make note and produce documents, it was is also able to make tables and formed the template of our shooting script it can also assist us in other tasksin the Pre-Production and Post Production stages of our coursework.

Adobe Photoshop



Photoshop is another piece of software that we used in our coursework, Adobe Photoshop is a grpahics editing program developed and published by Adobe Sysytems Incorporated. Photoshop will be used to produce our logo and mainipulate our photos in colour, size etc. to the way we want our audience to view it. The whole group are quite comfortable with using photoshop as we had to use it to our advantage during the AS media coursework.

Final Cut Pro

Final Cut pro is a non-linear video editing software developed by Macromedia inc. and then Apple inc. This piece of softwware will be used to make our end product of a Teaser Trailer. As this is a virtually new product that the group are using we are still in the learning process, get to know the basics but were slowly getting to grips with Final cut. We have shot a number of practice shots and have been manipulating them on Final cut.

Garageband

This software allows users to create music and podcasts, it wasa developed by Apple inc. Garageband is also a new software to the group and we are currently trying to learn the basics and different aspects of this software as we intend to utilise it to merge with our video footage and help create our end product.

Unedited Shots

This is a couple practice shots that we will be working with and manipulating on Final cut pro

Equipment

Troughout the film making process we will use a various amount of technology and equipment that will help enhance our Final product of a teaser trailer.

Canon EOS 7D Video Camera

 



The Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR Camera is what we will be using to shoot our teaser trailer, we will also be using it to take practice shots. The camera is built with an intelligent viewfinder to help which allows a complete and natural view when shooting our trailer, it is also 18 megapixel camera which will also help our group in delivering a high quality piece of work. Due to the camera having a high ISO with speeeds up to 6400 this will allow us to shoot in low light scenes where flash is undesirable, this is very important in  producing a trailer with low key lighting.





Gorillapod



The Gorillapod is a much more practical tripod, its flexible, wrappable legs allows us to connect it to professional camera equipment weighing up to 3 kg to virtually any surface, therefore expanding the range of shots we as are capable of capturing. The Gorilla pod consists of high quality injection moulded plastic that will stay firm after lots of action, therefore we shouldn't have any problems with continued use of the gorilla pod.

LED Liht 16 x 9

These are small LED lights 16 x 9, this will be used as hand held lights to generate the effect that we are trying to achieve as a group. They are also able to attach to DSLR Camera allowing for my flexibility and creativity in our shots. We are also able to control how powerful we would like the light to be to get our desired effect.

Kino Flo Diva Lite 400/800

The Kino Flo Diva Lite is designed specially for digital video capture and will give a professional look to our teaser trailer, it produces a broad soft and diffuse light, this piece of equipment is ideal shoot for location work as it isn't too hard to move with it. There is no need for a cool down period with these lights which will decrease the amount of time needed to shoot the film, it also has additional dimming switches to control the lighting  which will be important in our trailer.

Vinten Pro 5 Tripod

The Vinten Pro 5 tripod is what will be attached to a  DSLR camera, this tripod will enable us to shoot a staedy film it enables us to pan and tilt  effectively and efficiaently, the tripod is lightweight and therefore has practiacl advantages when switching location or moving positions.

Heres a few pictures of our team using some of the equipment:
