How to blog
Before as media stuedies coursework i had never used a blogging software before. it taught me efficiency, and how quickly you can fall behind if you dont stay on top of your game. complicated at first, but seemed to pick up it easily once understoff the system platform. Bloggers way of presenting itself is nice and simple for a beginer as it allows you to constantly see how you are progressing. Things like the labels which allow you to see everything clear and organised was helpfull. blogger is a very modern way of communicating as it is controlled throught the internet which is bigger than ever now. using the internet is excellent as it has the ability to be changed qucikly. 

Camera
I used a camera during my GCSE media studies, however we only took still images. This process of using the camera was new for me, attempting to take shots to create continuous futage was a stuggle but after a while it became a fun process. I picked up tricks as to how you could take the same amount of footage within a short time spam. this was by shootting each characters individule line from every angle. Althought we were sticking to the basic storyboard it then allowed us to play around more when it vame to editing. Problems with this came when we wanted some continued footage, it stopped after their line was over.  When first hired out the camera I could get it to focus, after a while of flicking through all the options I had figured it out. After that point we had no problem with the camera. 

Lighting

Was not used as much on my opening thriller sequence, However during my prelium task i was able to play around it more. Filming in the studio with the stand alone lights shows how much of an effect can be made on camera, with just some lights. During our filming we had no use of specialist lights, this I regret as i beleive the lighting could have been a good aspect of building the tension either during the stair scene or the therapy room. 



Adobe Premire Pro

Adobe Premier Pro

My only real expeience of editing would be on photoshop, which i used during GCSE a lot and during my younger years where i found entertainment through it. Adobe Premire Pro is alot more advanced and complicated. I still get confused when going onto the software. However, I am able to download videos and edit them with sound and successfull export and upload onto youtube. Tools which I have learnt are putting titles ontop of footage, cutting, editing sound. Including pitch, pace. To create the incidental music used in our opening sequence, we combined two songs to create a suitable crescendo which we disired.
