Technical equipment we used making our Thriller opening sequence

Our First and most crutial piece of equipment was the camera to film our footage with.

The next is the tripod used to balance the camera on. This eliminates shaking or a hand held effect when filming. Unfortunatley ours was a bit stiff and jerked when we tryed to pan a shoot of lewis walking back towards bronte at the bus stop.
After we had our footage we captured it on Final Cut Express, which is the below logo on an Apple Mac. In final cut we edited our footage roughly into the right order with the decent takes. In final cut we managed to speed up, slow down, change sound levels to quieten traffic, add effects and transtions and make our sequence what it is. Eventually we may also use Final Cut Express to annimate our ident.

Whilst the editing was taking place, Lewis used Garageband to create a soundtrack to fit out film sequence. This program enabled us to even record our own sounds, even though we chose not to do this its still a feature included. There is even a feature were you can plug in your own keyboard and record your own melodys. On Garageband Lewis changed tempos and keys.

Photoshop was used to make our ident. The layers will be animated through to create a moving ident. Starting off with one picture we edited it through to end with our 'Pulse Productions' in the 'Pulse' font from http://www.dafont.com/

All of this equipment enabled our thriller opening sequence to be made into what it is.
