Evaluation- Using and Learning About New Technologies

For our title sequence, editing was a huge factor and needed to be perfect in order for our work to turn out the way that we wanted it to. So that we could get the end product that our group desperately wanted, we had to use some technologies that no one in our group had used before such as Bullet Time Looks which is a different editing software compared to Final Cut Pro which we chose not to use as Bullet Time Looks offered a better quality of editing, making it easier to edit the lighting, colour and contrast. Bullet Time Looks also had the effect that we felt was best for our title sequence. By using Bullet Time Looks, Liam was able to edit our darker shots to look lighter with ease by being able to edit shots individually instead of on Final Cut  Pro where the whole footage would be edited which isn't very good because some of the shots differ completely from each other with some being lighter and darker than others.

For our shots we didn't have the use of a dolly at all but only a tri-pod, so this limited us when it came to actually filming our shots as many title sequences use panning and tracking shots so that the titles flow a lot easier and better.

A problem that we encountered was that the first DSLR camera that we used to film the majority of our title sequence, drained its batteries extremely quickly and we were only getting around 25-30 minutes of filming for each set of AA batteries that we used. Although this was a problem, it helped to teach me that re-chargeable battery packs are more sufficient than using AA batteries and having to buy new ones constantly.
