Question 4 CCR Research

Question 4 for CCR is:

How did you integrate technologies—software, hardware, and online—in this project?

In this project, I got to experience using different technologies to create my final production. I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit and assemble our film. I added credits and titles, using specific fonts to enhance the visual storytelling. I integrated music and sound effects, and used After Effects to create a visually stunning title sequence. Background noise was removed to enhance audio quality; all of this made me realize how crucial editing is in filmmaking and how much it can elevate a project.

We also used hardware, such as the phone we used to film the scenes, and the drone that we unfortunately didn't use for the final cut. I used my iPhone's cinematic mode to capture high-quality footage, including smooth focus pulls. I learned how to stabilize shots and adjust movements effectively while filming. Our shot list included close-ups, mid-shots, establishing shots, and over-the-shoulder shots. I also incorporated dynamic movements such as tilts, handheld shots, and low-angle shots to give better visual storytelling.

To stay organized, we used Blogger.com to document our entire production process, which helped us schedule tasks and ensure every step was accounted for. I also referenced YouTube tutorials for editing techniques and watched other film openings for inspiration.

Overall, these tools and techniques allowed us to successfully complete our project and achieve a high-quality final product.
