What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

When making our title sequence i have learnt a lot about using technologies and using new techniques when editing and filming. 

Firstly when we done our first shoot we got the experience of shooting and we realised it would be good to do the same scene but in a number of different shots so when you edit it you have a variety to pick from and not just a limited option that you dot know if it will work or not. A time that this was beneficial for us was when our killer ( Harry ) was sitting down on the table flicking through the book and moving his neck. This allowed our editor ( Max ) to cut the clips up and stick them in different places mid action. 

As in charge of Mise-en-scene i fount that we needed a contrast between the killer and the detective which was me. We needed to make sure the audience understood the good vs the evil and we represented this through a number of ways. For example for the killer scene we needed a dark setting with lowkey lighting and dangerous objects such as knives. The dark lowkey lighting links to the fact that when you think of evil you think of the darkness. For this when our cinematographer ( Tommy ) was filming me and Max stood either side of the camera and used our phone for slight lighting on different body parts on our killer. Furthermore when we done the detective scene we needed a conference room so we booked out the English office and filmed in there. Originally we done it in the conference room near reception, however when looking back on the footage when we was going to edit we fount that the footage wasn't very good and it was unfocused, also we were told that it was too bright and we needed it a bit darker. So this time we closed the blinds slightly so that it wasn't too bright and on that day it wasn't very sunny anyway so we had a bit of luck when shooting. It was a lot more lighter than the killer scene to show the contrast from good vs evil which we wanted. 

Furthermore, when Max was editing we all learnt a lot from the new software that was introduced to us called 'motion.' As max is experienced in editing he picked up on the software very quickly. He made our title '4Days Later' and it looked really good. However we decided to use another font that we used after because we thought it suited our scene more.

Now having experienced what i have experienced throughout this process i feel have adapted new skills that will benefit me in the future when making films etc.
