CCR Q4 integrated technologies

How did you integrate technologies, software and hardware in this project?

what I will discuss in this post:

• hardware I used
• software I used 
  

Hardware:

Monopod 

- These are useful if you want to get a clean/not too shaky shot, although there may be some shakiness if your hand is shaking a lot. 

We used this a lot for running scenes and panning shots. 

Tripod 

- The tripod is excellent for still shots where you want there to be no shakiness, it was also quite light so we could pick it up and turn it when we needed a panning shot.

iPhone 8

- For most of the filming we used my iPhone 8 because it was a lot lighter than a regular camera so it was easier to carry around we we had to switch locations and it wasn't as bulky as a camera.

in terms of quality it was very good when we used the 4k mode on the video camera, we could also switch to HD. The only limitations we found was that a phone does not have as much storage as a camera would have so from time to time we had to go back and delete videos to make space for new ones which was not ideal.

Phone adaptor

- Because we used a phone instead of a camera we needed to use a phone adaptor on the tripod and monopod.

Software:

Final cut pro

- Final cut pro is the app we used all year to edit our videos (more information on how to use it here). All media students use this and its very user friendly, in that i only used it for the first time this year and now i feel confident with using it.

Youtube

- YouTube was the sight we used to upload and share all of our rough cuts, vodcasts, tutorials ect. we also used it for inspiration for makeup when filming our rough cuts.

Teams

- Teams was where me and my team would be able to send each other messages about things we needed to get done or if we were having issues with anything that we needed help with.

Blogger

- Our blogger account was the first thing we set up in the year, its where we write down everything we have done or thought of so that its clear and easy to find. There are also links on the side of the page for our sources and sights we regularly need to be checking.
