CCR #3

Happy Friday bloogggg!! The best time of the week has come, the weekenddd! For todays blog we will be breaking down and answering question 3 of the CCR. "How do you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in this project?" This question is pretty straight forward and based off technology used throughout the whole project. This questions is asking how we included different technology techniques into our project as a whole and in our actual experience filming this project. Its asking to cover topics such as hardware (physical tools), software (programs), and online (resources).

In my film technology played a huge roll from filming to editing. It was involved when pre planning such as audio and is still involved finishing up editing. I used a mix of different resources and equipment to produce the final product.

Hardware:

For hardware we used an iPhone 14 for part of the filming and for the other half a Nikon d3100 camera. Although that camera is better for photography rather than videography we needed it for clear extreme close ups such as the text message notification coming up. I'm very glad we ended up deciding to use it because without it, being in a yellow lightning room, the clip would've come out pixelated and wouldn't be as clear to read. However the iPhone 14 did do a relatively better job when filming in brighter lightning in the  gym. They both truly did a great job.

Software:

For software I used Adobe Premier Pro. I have a friend that takes the class Cypress Bay Television and she had taught me at the beginning of the year how to edit and had been guiding me to reahc my best self. Due to this when we got assigned the project I asked her what she felt would be best when editing.   She recommended to use Premier Pro due to all the different abilities it has and how simple it is to manage around it. So that's exactly what we did. It ended up coming out perfectly has hoped and worked great when managing pacing to keep the hyper beat up and keep that strong dedicated tone relevant to the film. 

Audio:

For audio we found all our sounds including the background music from Pixabay. We used it due to it being copyright free and being super accessible to us. We were able to find all our diegetic sounds and music. With some layering it all ended up working out and turned our great. It also allowed us to avoid the doubt of if the sounds were copyright free or not.

Online:

Lastly I used online resources like YouTube. I used YouTube not only through out the whole process for research and learning on factors such as audio, different techniques etc. But also for editing sport dramas. It truly has guided me all throughout these past 7 weeks. I've used it for most research blogs and its impressive how much you can find and how useful resources like these can be. It truly has played a huge part when pre planning and editing this project.

Overall, through out this whole film we were able to integrate technology to every stage of the production. With much decision making and working as a group we were able not only us technology but use it effectively to reach the production we hoped to have and have all the elements we wanted to be illustrated.
