What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product
Camera
We learnt how to operate a camera correctly and the setting up of a certain shots. We did this having a practice shoot before we did it properly.
For most of the outside shots we used my Dad's camera and he taught us how to use it correctly and gave us some other technical support (extracting files off the big camera).
For the indoor shots we ran out of time to do practice shoots but we knew how to use the school cameras from our work on the preliminary piece so it was down the story board (with some alterations due to some location inconveniences) to plan the indoor scenes.
Tripod
When filming with my dad's big camera we were taught how to set up its larger tripod as well as his camera. We used the tripod to do smooth, steady shots and low angle shots of me walking.
Also we already knew how to use the school tripod from the preliminary piece with the camera. We used the tripod In the thriller to gain a constant stable shot of Tom in the office.
Premiere pro 6
I used premiere pro CS6 before for my YouTube channel and I used it In the preliminary piece but it was CS4. After the preliminary piece we added titles to it And some images as some practice with titles. This taught use how To add and modify titles with colours, font, and effects.
We used YouTube to look at the openings of thrillers and other types of films and use the internet to research other types of thrillers.

When we initially added the title we diced that we needed to do them again because they were too big and in the wrong order. So we changed the size of the text with the titles position slightly to make them stand out less. We decided to use these titles because it makes the thriller look more professional.

Coomber sound recorder and the boundary mic
We have never use this before so we had to do lots of takes with it so we could get a good sounding take. We used it to record the voice over and the dialog being spoken by the actors so it is clearer to hear. The way we did some of the Dialog takes (including the final one) out side to make it sound more in place because the indoor takes sounded out of place.

Mix craft 5
We used Mix craft to produce the sound for the thriller. None of use has used the software before so we each had a little go at seeing what we could make, this also helped use find the feel for the music in the piece.

Improving the film
When we watched our thriller we were not sure if the audience would understand that the Priest was the murder and why he was doing this. We were not too concerned about them knowing why he was committing murder because it was only the opening of the thriller and the rest of the film would explain it. But we wanted the audience to know that the Priest was the murderer.We had filmed the Priest leaving the office after the Officer Worker was dead, but we thought it should be more obvious and entertaining. So, to make it more obvious we filmed another scene. First, we filmed the Priest crossing of names on a list, this was to show that he had killed the worker, that he has killed before and that he will kill again. Secondly, we filmed the Priest outside the office where the murder was going to take place. We did this to show that the Priest was there.
