1. TECHNICAL SKILLSIMac i7The IMac i7 is the platform our group will use to create and present our final products. The computer has theAdobe Photoshop CS4 software and Final Cut Pro installed in; this will give us the opportunity to work oncreating the ancillary task and editing of trailer anytime we wish during school time. With all of the IMacsbeing stand-alone it will not intervene with the rest of the computers in the school if there is a connectionproblem; this will not cause setbacks on the deadline which will avoid stress and disputes for the rest of thegroup. The wide screen of 21.5 inches will allow for great screen quality therefore the precious of our editingwill be much greater. A limitation of this equipment is that other groups may leave their work on a computerour group is working on; this could cause setbacks and disagreements if a group wished to work on theparticular screen. A way in which this can be solved is by having a copy of the work on a USB or having thework on multiple computers.External MicrophoneRegardless of the microphone feature on the camera we are using to film, it is more effective to use theexternal component as it supports greater sound quality which will accompany the visual aspect much better;this will overall improve the quality of the product. We have the ability to use a Shotgun microphone; due toits shape it will be able to pick up and focus on dialogue better in a noisy and crowded place. One of the mainlimitations that an external mic has is that it has to be switched on too it will not automatically turn on whenthe camera is filming; this can be a negative aspect as the camera may not be able to pick up the exact contentit previously had or the actors/surrounding is not the same; this will waste time in the production stages.ReflectorThis equipment is used to provide additional lighting for photographs for the poster or film magazine cover.This tool can help change the colour of the colour which can alter the whole mood of the phot and add a morenatural effect rather than harsh lights. The reflector can be used outside as it does not require a power source;this makes it more convenient to use. A limitation which it holds is that the school only has 3 to use for bothclasses which could stop us from using it when its needed however this can be solved by completing othertasks. There are two different reflective surfaces available; the harsher light which is transmitted from thesilver side while the softer light is the white area; by having two reflectors in one it cuts down costs and alsoincreases the variety.Go Pro CameraThis video camera is in a smaller dimension as it can be placed on objects or actors; this will be able to create amore realistic effect on scenes that have chasing or first-view-points which will help the audience be moreconnected with the plot and the protagonist. The camera will not be used for a long period of time as thematerial shot on a Go Pro will mainly be for effect therefore the battery power that is has of one hour is morethan enough. One of the qualities that the camera has is that it is water resistant therefore if it raining we willnot have to worry about the potential damage also it is very easy to work with as it normally only has onebutton.Mono PodThe monopod available for use is one of the bestmodels on the market due to its compact andhigh quality material and components. Theability of extending this equipment to a higherlength it will give us a larger variety of shorts;this will put us in a better position for our trailer 2. as we will be able to show more versatileposition of the camera. This will be easy to carryaround if we were to take multiple shots indifferent areas also due to the material it willnot be heavy or uncomfortable to hold for aprolonged time.
