I have used a wide range of technologies throughout this project, some I had used before so I was familiar with them and others I had never used before so developed new skills.
In research and planning I used a variety of technologies to present data and information I had found:
-Youtube
--helped me as I was able to easily access examples to visually support my point.

-Power Director and Tube Chop
--helped me as I was able to cut down videos into short clips to support a point I had made.
-Prezi and emaze

-Prezi and emaze
--helped me as I could present the information I had found in a visual way so it could be understood more easily.
-Wix
--helped me as I was able to make a visual display but could perosnalise it more to the topic I was discussing.

-Survey Monkey
--helped me as I could carry out a survey to a number of people efficiently and get results instantly and display them in the most suitable way.
-GIFs and images/screenshots
--helped me as they are the most simple way to clearly show an example to support a point which does require sound or movement.
-Internet
--helped me as it allowed me to acces of the above resources and tools in order to create a variety of visual ways to present my information and data found from research amd how we as a group were going to execute our sequence in planning.

During the filming and production of the opening sequence I used:
-DSLR Camera
--helped me because
it is better quality than a camera such as a camcorder as it allows for
manual and more acuurate setting up so the opening sequence will be of
better quality.
--helped me to create meaning as the quality of the shots were very high so the audience could easily see what was happening and it is relatively compact so could be set up in quite small spaces and produce quite effective shots. The fact it could be set up in tight spots means that the audience felt closed in, uneasy and as though they did not have much room to move during that shot.
--helped me because it allows the camera to stay in a static position and higher quality shots.
--helped me to create meaning as sometimes a static shot was required in order to get the most effect and response from the audience and the tripod could hold the camera stable.

-Fig Rig
--helped me because it enabled me to shoot a smooth tracking shot of good quality.
--helped me to create meaning as it allowed me to shoot smooth trecking shots without a dolly and up stairs and go from low to high which is a very unique shot. The shot follows the character and makes the audience think someone is following him, which builds tension as the audience cannot see the whole of the charcater's surroundings and are unsure when the killer will make his move. However this is misleading as the killer is upstairs so it is in fact just the audience who is following him.

Example here
-Go Pro
--helped me to create menaing as it could be used where most cameras would get damaged such as in water, we did use the go pro in our first draft however cut it out for our second sequence.
-Adobe Premiere Pro
--helped me as it has more technical qualities so will make my end product of higher quality.
--helped me to create meaning as there were multiple tools I could use such as ligthing effects and sound levels to really get the most out of the stock footage we had shot. For example, I made the overall lighting darker in order to create an eerie atmosphere for the audience. I was also able to add titles during the sequence due to using Premiere Pro and I could use a variety of fonts and colours. The font and colour I used had the conventions of a home-invasion horror film so set up the feel of the film for the audience straight away.
Example here
-Adobe After Effects
--helped me to create menaing as I used it to remove the background from some stock greenscreen footage for our production company ident which meant it oculd have more of a smooth finish and look to be more professional.
