during the production of my project, the majority of the time my shots were outside which restricted me from being able to use artificial lighting or tamper with the lighting in anyway with lighting equipment but here are images of the equipment i did have.
Equipment i used:
Digital Camera - This wasn't the best camera in the world but it got the footage needed in a good enough condition! It also wasn't complicated to use however it was very automatic which mean't i couldn't do things such as pull focus on it. It wasn't until i had uploaded my footage up onto the mac that i noticed a purple line from the street light down my clips! Also one my final shot, the playback on the camera was smooth however on the mac it became glitchy.
Tripod - To be 100% honest, i'd never used a tripod before so i learn't how to use it during this project! This was an extremely helpful piece of equipment as it allowed me to produce steady shots, pan/tilt efficiently and make sure my shots were not uneven. The features such as tightening the tilt or extending the height of the legs were very useful too.
Headphones - These were useful because they allowed me to hear the footage and check if any audio needed to be deleted.
Macbook - During this project i learn't how useful the programs on a mac are in terms of media. This allowed me to keep updated on my blog, upload VLOGs and experimental videos to youtube, send audio into soundcloud and much more.
Here are the majority of sites i used the most:
Blogger - To post regular updates to my blogspot media blog. I learn't that there were easier ways of creating a blog than making your own webpage from scratch.
IMovie - To edit footage, video logs, experimental shots and test things. I learn't different editing techniques such as 'picture in picture' which was very useful for my titles. however IMovie was beign very difficult and wouldn't let me play back my project in the program which led to me having to export it whenever i wanted to watch it over.
Soundcloud - So i can embed audio i have composed onto my blog.
Slideshare - So i can embed my slideshows.
Garageband - So i can make music and mix different songs. I had difficulty using this at first and figuring out how to change the instrument.
Photoshop - To edit images and also make new images. I learn't how to create a transparent background on any images that i was editing.
Youtube - To upload videos to share them and embed on my blog.
Also, here is an example of how i used Photoshop to produce my titles:
