Internet sites such as blogger have been useful in the construction of our media product because we are able to take note of each step that we took. Furthermore, youtube is a useful website because it meant that we were able to upload our finished thriller. I found that social media is also very useful because it means that our thriller could be distributed and that people could view it easily. Also, it meant that more people are able to see it if I have a lot of followers on social media sites.

For editing, we use premiere pro CS6. This is a difficult piece to use at the beginning, but after getting some pointers from technicians, we got the gist of it quite easily.

This helped us to cover up some mistakes that we made by using fading transitions. furthermore, because the software is advanced it means that we are open to

From constructing this product I have found that using digital cameras can be easier for some than others. For
example, everyone in my group found it difficult to get the whole scene in the
shot of the camera. Also they found it difficult to keep other things that
weren’t meant to be in the shot out, for example when my team mates filmed I
found that the mic would be popping into the shots a lot which would lead to
the scene having to be re-filmed to keep up with continuity. I found it easier
than the rest of my group hence why I was on the camera for most of the film.
The tripod can help a lot when it comes to getting still shots and when zooming
in. Hand held filming can be difficult especially when zoomed in, because shaky
hands are amplified because the depth of the shot. The microphone is very
useful, often the microphone built in to the cameras aren’t great, so audio can
be quiet/fuzzy especially outside when there’s wind. Also, the microphone is
very sensitive so it can pick up sounds that can be useful, for example someone
typing on a phone. This can also be a draw back, because there may be some

sounds that we don’t want in the background.
