Technology Talk.

Well. I operated my Samsung L201 point and shoot digital camera on the record setting to film the filmable parts of my film. For some shots, I had to utilise a tripod, which attached to the base of said camera.

To record the voiceover, after trying to use multiple different microphones to no avail, I settled on using the microphone that was built into a Logitech Webcam, and spoke directly into that. The program I used to record my voice was Microsoft Recorder, as other more advanced programs did not work. I found this to be ironic.

I imported the files using a USB cable, to a file, and then to Adobe Premiere Pro 4 where I placed them in a new document. I placed the video files into the program, realised they would not work properly, found an online file converter and converted them, and placed them back into the program. I placed them in roughly the right area, and began editing. After cutting some of the video files using the cut tool, and placing the explosion gifs in between them, I brought in a tint feature from the video colour effects menu. This made every image black and white. I continued to put everything in the right place.

I then added the song The Beginning is The End is The Beginning by The Smashing Pumpkins. This song went on for far too long, and I had to fade it out, using the fade tool. After this, I made a title screen, with a white barkground and the word "Title" fading in, and then back out. I used the same fade feature on this as I did the song. I ran through the film, and as I was happy with it, I exported it using Adobe Decoder.

I then saved the file to a USB, which was then unplugged from the computer.

I didn't use that many technologies while filming, as I didn't need to. The natural light and the black and white effect made my movie look dark enough, and removing the background noise made it seem stranger and more clinical.
