Creative Critical Reflection Questions 4: Research

     We used a plethora of different technologies whilst producing our film opening for Amber. Some of which include Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, and a multitude of browsers. 

Specific uses

    We used Adobe Premiere as our editing software and that's where most of the magic happened. 

    I was already familiar with the software, so I was more than willing to use it for the editing and finishing touches of our film. I color corrected, sped clips up, and fixed audio tempos as well as volumes. 

    Then I turned to Photoshop because to be quite frank, I was unfamiliar with how to add text directly from Adobe Premiere onto the film. So, what I did was make a title onto a green background and used the ultra-key feature on Adobe Premiere to remove the background. I essentially just used green screens to add my title.

    And of course, I was not born with all this knowledge of the characteristics that make up a film opening, and the conventions of horror, or any other specific used in my film. Therefore, I had to research this somewhere. Which is why I turning to Microsoft edge, DuckDuckGo, and Safari for input. Which of course led me to decide to include all my sited at the end of my CCR via rolling credits.
