Question 4
HOW DID YOU USE NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH, PLANNING AND EVALUATION STAGES?
Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro was the programme we used to create and edit our trailer. Members of our group knew how to use Final Cut Pro as they have used it before, therefore this gave our group and advantage as we knew how to use it correctly. We had to create a new project to have a place to save our work, when we started putting clips together we had to create a new timeline so we could edit our clips and see everything all in order. Final Cut gives us many opportunities to get all our shots edited and making it look professional.
VIDEO EDITING
We used final cut pro to edit our clips for things such as interviews or our trailer. we used the blade tool to cut down shots which are to long. When you blade a shot it separates them in to seperate ones so you can edit them separately.

Green Screening
We used the green screen when editing our interviews. We just simply edited the background on finalcut pro to a spooky forest. This was really effective for us because we had the effect to link it to horror and we got it quite easily instead of finding a real location to film in, which may have taken time. Green screening allows us to pick the background and make it relevant to our trailer.
Quick Time Player
We used the software 'Quick Time Player' this allows you to record the screen as you go along. We used quick time player to film some scenes for our trailer such as when the antagonist is sending a message to the victim on facebook.
This Screen Recording shows how we used the softwares and how it helped us with our Trailer, Poster and Magazine research.
