I have learnt a number of tips, tricks and other useful information about different technologies during our time producing 'Bullet Heart' which I will take away from this experience.
We used the Canon HV40 digital camcorder to film all of our shots and also learnt about the importance of using a tripod to keep the camera steady as appose to shaky when handheld (which you can see in our Prelim Task.) Other aspects of camera work we learnt were obviously inserting and replacing the tape, hooking the camera up to the computer and also replaying recently shot scenes. Before studying media at A-Level I did not have any experience using editing software however I found Adobe Premiere Pro surprisingly simple to use. We was able to select the shots we wanted to cut, cut them and place them into chronological order. After a few cuts the sequence was coming together however there were a few jump-cuts throughout the sequence which we then disguised with the transition 'Cross Dissolve'. We then figured out how to add titles, a soundtrack and finishing effects to our sequence, this involved a lot of clicking and searching, before we finally caved in and asked for some enlightenment. Blogger played a massive part in recording our progress throughout the project. Never being a blogger in my life I thought that the task was going to be tricky at the least, fortunately I found it very easy, and also convenient as there was a "blogger app" which meant that I could blog from my phone where ever I was. YouTube was used as a place for us to distribute our film to classmates and store it for when it was needed during our blogs. I have used YouTube previously and so felt confident when using it in class. The only other technology used was PowerPoint which we used to present our pitch to other students and our lecturer Louise. Again having used this software previously since a very young age I was confident when it came to making and presenting the PowerPoint.
