Question 6: What I have learnt from Technology through this filming

Throughout this filming process, I have learnt there are many skills required to go into a film in order to make it as good as we can possibly make it for production and distribution.

Firstly, there is the art of filming correctly with the camcorder/

The location we used for the first part of the filming was the moors near to where I live. Filming on the moors with the camcorder had a few problems such as sound reverberating off the camcorder which make the sound created by the actions sometimes inaudible to hear. Also, certain types of shots such as a tracking shot were very improbable to use as we didn't have the right capabilities to perform them with.

Secondly, when it came to the editing of the film, we had to very immaculate with where we cut it and for how long we used each shot for. Having shots too long may diverse or even bore the audience if they see the same action for too long, however through coral software and being able to have shot sharp clips, we have been able to keep the action going as fast pace as we need to.

When it came to adding sound for the film, we had to make sure that the right music was being put onto the piece in order to maximise the action we have in the sequence. Certain areas we had planned to have music such as the pink panther when I'm doing an investigative sequence and some harder darker music when I was getting ready to go out. However on the pink panther area we had to change and remove that because we couldn't have the right area we wanted.

Over the course of this topic, I have made advancements in the way I view the people who have to operate these pieces in the movies and show how I can put the actions in the media piece to full use.
