In order to create our opening title sequence we have used a range of technology which includes hardware and software. This screencast will walk you through the software we have used to create our OTS which includes what we have used for our audio,
We have used to Sony A58 camera as when compared to the previous camera we used for our preliminary task which was the Sony Handycam we saw that the quality of image was much better therefore in order to produce the dynamic image that will make our opening title sequence as professional as possible. This camera has not only allowed use to get high quality video clips however it has allowed us to capture crisp images to use in other media we have produced such as our question 4 answer in our evaluation. It was also ideal as it was quick and easy to set up as we could easily turn it on and place it on to the tripod so that our clips were not shaking.

In order to make a media production we have also used an Apple Mac as we believe this has the best opportunities for producing the highest quality content. This is because it is easy to use and can run every program that we needed to produce the best videos we could. The macs have allowed us to use software such as Prezi and final cut pro. The macs were ideal as they were easy to navigate and if there were any issues it was easy to overcome as there was an efficient help center.
A large part of the distribution of our content was through youtube as not only did it allow us to store our films however it allowed us to share our content with many others which was essential when getting feedback as without this we would not have been able to get such a wide range of opinions from lots of different people. It also provided us with a valuable asset for our research as we could look at media created by other people to gain a greater knowledge of which camera angles and techniques were good to use in certain situations.
Another form of software that has allowed us to produce information on our website in a professional and simple format is Prezi which is a simple way to present our work in a step by step process which allows people to easily see what we have done and how we have done it. It puts across the information in a mindmap design and can be adapted depending on what the person creating it is looking for.
The final part of technology we have used is Weebly which is a website building software that has allowed us to organise all of our work swiftly so that each aspect of our work can be easily found as well as producing a smart layout that has been specifically designed to reflect our horror. Weebly was ideal for us as it provides our work to others in a professional form. In addition to this the design of the software is very useful as it is easy to navigate which meant we could put our ideas into place quickly and easily.
