Software

In terms of an overall production, the software and quality of technology we have used is a huge talking point. The upgrade of the editing suite for this production has enabled us to push our trailer into a much more accomplished position and has enabled us to present the footage in a way that can influence how we are trying to make the audience feel and think more effectively.

The Adobe software gives us a much broader range of tools to extend our production from a no budget filming task to a more extensively proffesional teaser trailer. We have made great use of the new technology and have by doing so managed to create some very interesting an thought provoking shot transitions and lighting effects to aid us in dictating the narrative to the audience.

We have used the time creation tools to great effect and have been able to slow down pivotal moments of the trailer with the purpose of focusing the audiences attention on these shots and sequences. This tool has also been used to make some shots more flowing such as the 360 degree angle due to the fact that they were very difficult to film at the correct pace.

I ave also this year been able to record an audio file with a voice over meaning that the soundtrack also sounds much more proffesional than in previous tasks. I have created the melody and the lyrical input meaning that the entire production is of our own creation from the resources given. The layering of other recordings also assisted me in the creation of this audio file meaning that not only does the soundtrack fit the production perfectly it also sounds as though it has been worked on for a longer time period that actually was.

In this production we also used voice overs to improve the dialog quality. In our last production this was a real issue and we have seen great improvments through this technique. It has taken a bit of time but the results have been well worth the effort.
