Production: Software

Before we started editing our opening film we had to look for the right software which will we most suitable for the editing of our opening film. We wanted to ensure the software would make our opening be at a high standard. Using the right software allows us to complete the editing stage quickly and complete with more ease than other programmes.

Editing Programme-

Software-Final Cut Pro                                          

We chose this programme to edit our opening scene because we have both got experience using this programme from creating short videos showing establishing shots. We thought it was the best software to show our journey and to ease the stage of editing to appeal to our target audience.

Soundtrack Programme-

Software- Soundtrack Pro                                     

We chose this programme to edit our score for our opening film. We chose this program because we have previous experience with this programme so it will be produced more quickly and we will have more confidence with what we our doing. We feel it is important to create a good score and create effect ambient sounds because it has a huge effect on the audience.

Credits Programme-

Software- LiveType                                               |

We chose LiveType to create our titles and credits because we felt the layout was easy to follow and we would be more confident creating more advanced titles. We have got experience with using this programme before with our first preliminary task so we can understand and develop our skills. The title is a huge importance in the opening as it makes the audience aware of the characters and to understand the narrative, therefore we need to produce it to a high standard.  

Recording Programme-

Software- GarageBand                                           

We decided to choose this programme to record our score because we felt it was easy to understand and follow. we wanted to record the ambient sound without getting any unwanted sound from the wind etc, the programme allows us to mute the unwanted sound to make the ambient sound perfect. This type of score is important as it makes it more realistic and builds tension with the audience.
