1. Video camera: I used a video camera to capture the footage for my media piece. I learnt how to add effects and edit the lighting brightness and contrast. I also learnt how to do the basic tasks of filming and how the video camera worked.
2. Tripod: I used a tripod to steady the filming process so that i got smooth transactions and footage so that it wasn't all bumpy and 'jittery'. I learnt how to set it up and adjust it to the correct height and angle for what i needed.
3. Mac computer: I used Macs to produce the majority of our media piece. At the start i wasn't very familiar how to use them but with time i became more confident using them and was able to use different software packages within to help me produce my final piece.
4. Imovie: i used this software package to conduct and manipulate the footage i had gathered on the video camera. I used a Fire Wire to transfer the filming across onto the Mac. I then opened it in Imovie and created a new project of which i started to manipulate and add effects to my film opening.
5. Photoshop: I used Photoshop to create pictures in as this is an easy piece of software i am familiar with that i found suitable to use and I used this to create our opening advertisements.
6. Iphoto: I used this to transfer my JPEG images from the Desktop onto Imovie. This way I was able to open any images i created efficiently and Imovie and Iphoto are linked.
7. Itunes: I used Itunes to transfer my songs and soundtracks i had downloaded onto Imovie. Like Iphoto, these are linked so i was able to move the music across efficiently.
8. Google: I used Google as my main source of research for images and other websites that were useful and relevant to my project.
9. Blogger: I used Blogger to document my work to show my planning and research processes.
