Production: Organising Our Footage

This blog post contains the technology and apps that my team and I (Kellie) used to complete our filming project. This blog was made by Kellie.

Technologies & Applications Used

WhatsApp

Our main form of communication was through WhatsApp. We talked about props, costumes, filming dates, times and the location for our shoot in a group chat that Kristine made. 

Camera App

Since our project genre is horror (found footage), we used our camera app on our iPhone's instead of an advanced camera because we wanted the film to look very realistic and a bit unclear. The film is meant to make the audience feel uneasy and scared, so with low quality footage and filters that will be added later on in the editing process, this will help create that tone. 



Photos App & Shared Album

Since we were using our phones to film, we had a limited amount of storage to use. To fix this problem and help fasten the process of sharing all of our footage and behind the scenes pictures later on, Maisie created a shared album in the photos app. This allowed us to have one place where we can view and keep adding in new files throughout the filming day.CapCut

The app that our editor, Maisie, has decided to use is CapCut. It has a lot of helpful templates, filters and effects on it. Maisie is also familiar with it and has used it before, so this will help make the editing process a lot easier for her.

Google Docs

A large part of our planning work was done on Google Docs, we used it for our script writing, filming schedule, statement of intent, location scout, risk assessment and our dominant reading. Not only does my group and I find it useful and convenient, but we do a lot of our work in class using this app. Google form

A part of our blogposts was to receive audience feedback, we decided to create a google form because we thought it would be the easiest way to collect it. 

Reflection: This blog was made by my team member Kellie so I would say this was an easy task. But I had to used my own images because taking from her blog made the quality really low. Overall I'm grateful that we were able to split the task so that I could just copy and paste and only needed to credit my friend.
