Me testing the camera |
We learned how to handle a proper video camera, which wasn't really a hard thing to do as there's not much that you can do wrong.
Tripod
The tripod was helpful because it holds the camera steady. Without it our film would be very shaky. The only problem is when you lose bits of it in the grass at nighttime.
Camera
We used a camera to take pictures of locations and were supposed to take pictures while filming, what we unfortunately forgot every single time. We didn't have to learn about our cameras, we knew them before.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Premiere Pro turned out to be our biggest enemy in the editing process (see here). It really is quite hard to use in the beginning, it has loads of functions and it's not easy to find the ones you need, but we got help from YouTube video tutorials (like this one) and it becomes easier with the time.
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Photoshop was nice, it created our logo (see here),saved our screenshots (like here or here) and edited our pictures (like here). We were familiar with Photoshop before, so no problems on this one!
Prezi
We had never heard of Prezi before, but it's a pretty good thing for creating presentations and looks a lot nicer than PowerPoint. It's also quite easy to understand, it's simple to create things, like we did for our ideas (see Prezi here).
Blogger
Blogger is obviously used to create this blog. I had used it before and find it easy to use, even though it sometimes has problems to understand what you actually want it to do, like placing pictures in the right place in a post.
YouTube
We used YouTube to create an account (it's here) for our production company and upload our videos, so we could embed them in our blog as well. No problems here either.
