Part 7

The decided that we wanted the title sequence of 'Graduation Day' to be very fast paced pre-production. We were aware that a lot of the footage would have to be edited to make it at a fast pace as it would be hard and not as effective to film it fast paced. We decided to use final cut pro instead of i-movie post-production, as we felt it would give us more opportunites to make our sequence look very effective. These decisions were made based on our target audience, and also we knew that we would learn new skills by using final cut pro. There are a wider range of effects to use on final cut pro that we thought would be ideal for our title sequence. When filming our title sequence, we used a video camera and a tri-pod to keep the camera still when we were filming. However, when we were doing point of view shots, we did not need to use the tri-pod as it wouldnt have been effective for the camera to look still. When editing, we used final cut pro on the i-mac computers which gave us more opportunities to learn and use different editing techniques. Using final cut pro was very successful as were were able to use the font that we had selected, and we also found it easier to edit our sequence in specific detail. The use of the i-mac computer made the sound very clear and we were able to ensure that it was very effective. The use of the tri-pod was less successful as some of our footage was not as clear as we would have liked it to be. I have learnt how to hold a camera when filming a point of view shot. I have also developed my skills on an i-mac computer and also learnt how to use final cut pro, and how to use different effects.
