Myself and Connie brunskill took turns in using the camera as we each had to do our acting scene's, we used a handheld camera and then attached it to a tri-pod stand, and then made sure we had it at the right angle, we then used a scrolling button at the side to zoom in to the character's eyes as shown in the picture above. We also used an over the shoulder shot of one of the characters in the picture below.
We used Adobe Premiere Pro to work on the editing of our opening sequence, first we uploaded the footage we shot and then dragged it onto a new project 'The GodDaddy'. We seperate chunks of footage and certain points (the bits we wanted to use) and then dragged it into the main editing timeline, when we had taken out all the good parts and put them into the editing timeline, we then started to use some transitions on the film such as "cross dissolve" which we used mostly on the text that we edited onto the footage showing the cats names and production names etc. We also used Dip to black at the end of certain shots so then it seemed to flow more between each different angled shots.
I have learnt how to use blogger fluently now, it seemed tricky to begin with but now it seems pretty simple. You log in using your google account and click on create a blog, i have used it to post updates on my opening sequence progress by typing up a little diary with a picture included sometimes too, and this can be viewed by anyone in the world. You can also upload video's and add hyperlink's to video's on youtube.
I have used websites such as youtube to gain inspiration for our groups sub genre which we chose to be a gangster film, and the GodFather was perfect for this.
I used Microsoft powerpoint in one of the lesson's to pitch the our opening sequence to our classmates, we included images and texts aswell as applying slide transitions.
We also used microsoft word for the script, and i also used it to create the schedule/shot list.
