The document discusses key decisions made during pre-production, production, and post-production of a student film project. During pre-production, the creator decided to use YouTube, Art of the Title, and IMDb as primary research sources. A standard definition camera was chosen for a gritty aesthetic during production. Editing software iMovie was used for post-production as it was simple and allowed adding effects, though freeze frames caused issues. Freemusic.com provided a useful library of tracks to choose from.

Key Decisions
• Pre – production; I decided to stick to a limited amount of
websites and places to get my information on and put it that
youtube, Art of the Title and imdb would be the most popular
site to get information and watch any films i needed.
• Production; In my production i made a choice to stick to the
same camera so that the quality and footage was all the
same. I chose a camera that was a standard camera without
HD, so that the grittiness and independent filming came
through in our film.
• Post – production; I had to decide on the software i would
use, to edit my film and make and sound needed.
Pre - Production
This is where i got any bit of information
about films from. From casts, budgets,
earnings and distributors. This website was
very useful as all the information i needed
was all in one place and so this was the only
thing i had to use.

Youtube is what i used to watch film


trailers, opening sequence or certain
parts of the film.. This was good
because i was already familiar with
how to use it so it wasn't hard to work
and also i had set up an account and
I also used this to watch films as it had lots of could now upload my own videos.
films on there.
Production
We used this to film our opening
sequence on. They were not high
definition cameras or any special
quality so the outcome of the
footage wasn't great but it went well
with the grittiness of the film.

This was to keep the camera steady when it wasn't being


hand held. This was a really good extra as it made the
footage still and not at all joggy. It also was good to change
height of the camera and also direction, whilst keeping the
camera at a steady pace.

This was the tape that our film was recorded


on. This was good as it was easy to find
footage by fast forwarding or rewinding the
tape to find a certain place.
Post - Production
Photoshop is what we used to
make our title, credits and
typography. As there was so
much effects and different styles
to choose from it did take us a
while to decide, this is the only
iMovie is the software on the thing i can say was bad about he
Mac where we edited our software. Also, after making our
filming. This quite simple and credits we found that they did
easy to use so we had no not them in again.
difficulties when using iMovie
and editing our film and also
adding effects. Although one
Freemusic.com was also one of the
difficulty we did have was
sites i used, this was for music in our
putting freeze frames on to out
film. This was easy to use and had a
film as we had problems with it

overcome these.
