Question 4 Draft

Integrating Technologies

To achieve the best possible content for our film, we implemented multiple technologies. When we first started to develop the project, we extensively used the internet to research other films. We were able to find other AICE Media Studies films, film openings, and information about majorly successful films similar to ours. By doing this, we were able to implement the techniques that these other films used into our own. We also used the internet to help with scouting for locations to film at. For the actual filming aspect of the project, we used multiple types of hardware to achieve the shots we planned. For the majority of filming, we used a gyroscopic camera called the Osmo Pro. This allowed us to capture steady shots while moving in a high quality. For close ups and still shots, we used my own Canon Rebel T6i. The zooming lens and tripod allowed us to capture the text message and airport scene. We also wanted to have aerial shots throughout the film. We used a Phantom 3 Advanced drone provided by Austin Kuster which allowed us to get shots similar to those shot from a helicopter. Finally, in the editing process we used Final Cut Pro X on Austin Kuster's iMac. Witht this program, we were able to implement multiple editing features such as cuts, fades, music, and text for the credits. The technologies we implemented into the creation of our film made it into a product we would be proud to distribute.
