Digital Technology

One example of digital technology used within the production of our film was the camera Nikon D3200 DSLR. The camera ultimately the factor that actually allowed us to produce the content of our film. The use of various camera shots created a variety of effects on our audience e.g. a high angle shot was used closely from Alex's body aiming at Michael to show that Michael perhaps possesses more power over him (obviously due to the fact that's he's dead) and also as a build up to the audience possibly as to what has actually happened to him which they discover in the next shot.

Another example of digital technology that assisted in the production of film would be blogging websites such WordPress or Blogger as they helped us to plan and organise our research effectively as it allowed us to store various factors of the production such as script and synopsis into one blog. Not needing physical paper copies made it more convenient for all of us as work was unable to get lost, it was faster to find and we were able to view each others work very easily if it was needed without us needing to be present at the same location. Furthermore, being able to use each others blog allowed to produce the film efficiently as we were individually able to complete separate parts of the project and then combine them at the end meaning we were able to complete the project in the fastest amount of time possible.

In addition, we used video sharing website YouTube to actually make our media product available to audiences by releasing it online. Due to the fact that we weren't in any position to be be spending vast amounts of money on both production and distribution we decided that sharing the media product on an online video sharing website such as Vimeo or YouTube would be most appropriate for us as to was the best possible way to gain an audience due to the fact that they are free.

The final example of a digital technology used in the production would be editing software Final Cut Pro as ultimately that is what allowed us to actually produce and tweak our film into a media product with the assistance of the Nikon D3200 DSLR camera. Then software allowed us to create various edits that would create certain effects on audiences e.g. a straight cut from the back of the main character's head where he is pointing a gun to a shot of a close up of him allowed the audience to view intensity of the scene and difficulty in committing suicide in the character's face. In addition to the editing, the software allowed to export the film into a video file and alternatively allowed us to upload it to YouTube in order for audiences to view.
