Technologies Used


To edit our film opening we used iMovie.  This was downloaded onto the school computers and was relatively easy to use after being guided through different processes.  By using iMovie we were able to make our vision a reality, we altered saturation of some shots to create a drained effect, overlapped diegetic and non-diegetic sound and created our titles using iMovie, creating a captivating and intriguing film opening.  



The text used in our film opening was American Typewriter, as we thought that it reflected the genre and action in our film, which is set around war.



The camera we used to record our film opening was a Canon EOS 600D DSLR, the quality of the footage is excellent and this can be seen through many shots.  The quality of the shots was very important to our opening as we wanted to focus on small details, like facial expression and setting, as this sets the tone of the film and is the main focus of the opening, as there is no dialogue.  The quality of the camera has given our film opening a very professional look, that we would not have achieved if filming on another camera or iPhone.

To record sound we used an iPhone and would then edit the sound using either iMovie or Garage Band on the macs to create the desired sound.  This worked very well when creating the gun shot, breathing and breeze.
