We used a variety of programmes, using the apple macs. This proved to be quite a challenge as we progressed, through the duration of completing our final media product. As none of us had much experience with macs and some programmes, that were found to be a necessity, we found quite difficult and frustrating in the beginning. However by using these new programmes more often we had gotten used to them and learnt to use them easier.
Some of the programmes we used were final cut, which we had used before briefly so wasn’t a big challenge for us. Whereas programmes such as after effects, which we had never used before. This programme proved to be the biggest challenge of all.
Before we began production we chose after effects to create our titles as it was the best programme for it. Final cut is a movie editing programme therefore this was an obvious choice for us.
We chose to use HD cameras so that our shots came out clearer and looked much more professional. The first ever shots we took in the shopping centre we taken with a standard 5MP canon camera, which is why they were not good quality. But for our actual real shots we used the HD camera. We didn’t face any major problems with the camera, our only minor problems were uploading it onto the mac, which we easily resolved. Using the HD camera was a great success for us as we achieved the shots we wanted, and the camera did not have any technical faults before, during or after production.
To help create our soundtrack we used a new programme to us, garageband. during production i learnt how to use the programme further and started to produce a thriller soundtrack that fit our own product. Garageband was a very useful programme in a 'thriller soundtrack' but only to certain extent. it was limited in the sense it didn't have the best of most suited sounds for our product. Nonetheless it was an aspirational starting point and we developed it further using various websites and other music resources.
