YOUTUBE

We were also able to observe how many views

our videos received showing the popularity of our production. On top of this the comment feature

allowed us to gain feedback from a wider audience of viewers.

We uploaded all our films to our group YouTube channel. This includes our preliminary tasks, storyboard animatic, rough cuts and final production.

BLOGGER

We used blogger collaboratively as a team to upload and share our work. Blogger has several features which make it very useful for amateur film makers like us.

The comment facility allowed us to gain feedback from teachers and our fellow students on our work.

The index at the side allows for easy organisation of our work and quick navigation

across our blog.

The homepage showed us our list of tasks and gave us

exemplar work from previous years.

The comment facility allowed us to gain feedback from teachers and our fellow students on our work.

Through blogger we were able to embed clips and

uploads visuals which gave our blog a multimedia

aspect.

The edit feature allowed us to improve based on the

feedback we were given from our teachers and colleagues.

PreziThrough Prezi were able to

upload and share professional looking presentations to the

world wide web.

For example our pitch was presented through the use of

Prezi. This enabled it to be more dynamic as it has the

ability to embed multimedia i.e. secondary research, audience research and

soundtrack.I also used

Prezi to present my

research into other horror

films from similar genres

The ability to navigate through different frames gives the presentation a more fluid style.

EditingWe edited all our films using Adobe Premiere

Elements 9. This is an off the shelf light version utilising a timeline.

In order to colour grade our footage to connote a darker more sinister mood, to do this we added an effect called image control by dragging and dropping the effect onto the timeline. Then by “editing the effect” we lowered the brightness and darkened the hue. Whilst Hannah worked on the blog Callum and I overlaid some non-diegetic audio onto our production. We listened to several different sound effects before deciding on a droning sound to overlay our chanting because… and inserted them onto our timeline.I inserted the titles into our production and chose when and where to put them based on similar production “Insidious”s ordering and timing. We made a decision to overlay our title onto the video and then resized them based on importance of role.
