Youtube
Youtube was used to attract our audiences for our thriller opening. We posted our thriller opening onto youtube and made annotations to our video stating how our opening links to other similar films by the use of music and the unique selling point of our film. We monitor the amount of views and comments that have been made on our video as it is important to understand what the viewers think of our project and helpful tips to help us in the future. Once putting our video on youtube we have learnt what typical conventions attract our audience along with what they feel went well about our thriller opening and what we can improve on in the future.
Facebook & Twitter
Facebook and Twitter were both used for the same purpose which was to gain the audiences feedback on what they thought of the opening to our thriller. The video was posted on these social networking sites to get the attention of Facebook and twitter users. From using these social networking sites we have learnt that it is a very quick and easy way to gain the attention of many people. Using these sites also allowed us to gain constructive criticism on our thriller which will help us in the future when producing more videos.
Photoshop
Photoshop was used in many different ways when producing the opening to our thriller. Photoshop was used to make our production logo and allowed it to be placed in our thriller. Photoshop was also used to edit pictures of the characters appearing in our movie especially our protagonist character Betty Smith. From using this program we learnt that it can be very difficult to produce what we wanted however Saul in our group was able to use the program effectively and produce great images. We also learnt that once being able to use the software the features available are great and can help to produce an amazing final image.
Imovie & Apple Mac
Imovie was used to edit the whole of our product. Once we finished filming our movie we uploaded it onto imovie(mac software) using a firewire. Then we edited our movie as a group making decisions as to what the best shots were and what transformations we wanted to use. Saul was familiar with the program which allowed us to edit smoothly. It was important to work as a group as we wanted to ensure that we all had a certain input to the finial product. Imovie was also used to transfer music onto our thriller along with the voice over that was used to explain the story. By using this software we learnt that there about the great transformations and editing facilities that were available on this program which we then used which allowed our movie to look its best. We also learnt that once working in a group it is important to gain input from each member before making final editing decisions.
Audio network PLC
Audio network PLC was used when producing our product because it allowed us to put music in. When making your own movie it is important that you use copyright free music unless you have bought the rights to play existing music. This website allowed us to pick the music we felt best for our thriller and transfer it onto our thriller through Imovie. We sat as a group and went through many tracks before we found the music we felt best for our thriller. By using this website we learnt that under no circumstances are you allowed to use existing music without paying copyright fees, along with this we learnt that it takes time to find the correct piece of music to fit in with the genre of your movie.
