  IMOVIE I have beenfamiliar with iMovie through doing school projects, and making small films in my spare time. However I have never used it in as much depth as I did for my coursework. I really pushed the limits of iMovie’s capabilities in doing my CGI effects, and I learnt how to chroma key, adjust opacity, layer videos and effects and many more small shortcuts.

  BLOGGER & YOUTUBE Beforemy Media AS I was not familiar with producing content for blogger and Youtube. However, I quickly got the hang of it and my previous knowledge of website coding came in handy when designing my blog. Furthermore in Youtube, I quickly learnt the ins and outs of uploading, thumbnails and many other essential features.

  DSLR CAMERA Before Ifilmed my Media Coursework, I had no prior experience of filming with my DSLR (Canon 100D) as it was brand new at the time. I watched numerous tutorials on Youtube and quickly learnt how to shift focus, adjust the picture settings, adjust the ISO and aperture and adjust the quality and frames per second in accordance to conventional cinematic settings.

  PREZI & CANVA Preziand Canva are two internet based sites that I have used throughout my project. I quickly learnt to create presentations with ‘Prezi’, using their tools and it has now become my ‘go-to’ presentation software. As with ‘canva’ I quickly adapted to the photo software and was able to make an ‘infographic’ for my Evaluations.

  DA VINCI RESOLVE Whenit came to colour grading, I discovered ‘Da Vinci Resolve’ which really took colour to the next level. I did not use every feature available on this software, but I did learn how to use the colour wheels and charts to manipulate my opening’s colours and make it more cinematic.
