What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Photoshop CS4
Photoshop was a key technology in the process as it allowed us to add in the titles we had made on picnik into our opening sequence. To be able to do this we learnt how to select the individual letters in our titles, copy them onto another level then merge them together in order to create a new file. Due to this we learnt about how to effectively use a 'gif' in order for our titles to have a transparent layer, thus allowing us to overlay our titles. Furthermore, through using Photoshop we able to include new and trendy fonts that tied into our theme instead of sticking to the basic fonts.
Canon EOS 550D
With us having access to the Canon EOS we were able to use the settings on the camera to ensure that our thriller had a professional finish due to its ability to shoot film in HD. We were able to achieve this as settings on the camera such as; giving all images shot a dreary and haunted feel, allowed us to create the right atmosphere for our opening sequence. Also as the Canon allowed us to change the lens to a zoom lens we were able to shoot elements of our opening sequence in great detail in order to create narrative enigma.
